Subject: [Mpi3-ft] Recoverability of MPI State Proposal Discussion
From: Josh Hursey (jjhursey_at_[hidden])
Date: 2008-03-03 08:45:18


I'd like to start the discussion on the proposal for "defining
communicator state with process loss", or recoverability of MPI state
in the presence of process loss.

To start the discussion I am suggesting that folks have a look at the
following paper since I think it relates to quite a number of related
topics:

Fagg, G., et. al. "Extending the MPI Specification for Process Fault
Tolerance on High Performance Computing Systems"
