[Mpi-forum] Upcoming Meeting Schedule for the MPI Forum

[Martin Schulz]

Hi all,

 

We need to discuss the schedule for the upcoming meetings in 2023/24. Formally, we will decide on this during the MPI forum meeting, but I wanted to send out the following proposal ahead of time, so everyone can check for major conflicts and or other issues. Note, we decided to hold the spring meeting in person/hybrid (preferably ET/CT), summer and winter fully virtual and Fall together with EuroMPI (and keep co-locating EuroMPI and IWOMP).

 

For the spring meeting, we have an offer to host this in Boston – location and dates are confirmed:

 

Spring Meeting:

                March 13 to 16, 2023, Boston (AWS Offices, thanks Quincey)

                Start noon, end noon

 

Assuming we finish all final reading in that spring meeting, and we want to hit SC for MPI 4.1, we need two voting meetings instead of one summer meeting (both virtual):

 

Suggestions (decent spacing plus avoiding summer conflicts, I hope):

                May 1 to 4, 2023, virtual

                Could be fewer days if votes are the core items

 

                July 10 to 13, 2023, virtual

                Could be fewer days if votes are the core items

 

The fall meeting will be with EuroMPI in Bristol – this will be the RCS meeting (the one we read the entire standard page by page – hence, onsite will make things a lot easier):

 

Fall Meeting:

                September 13-15, 2023, Bristol (right after EuroMPI, parallel to IWOMP)

                Three full days

 

Again, assuming we intend to hit SC23 for MPI 4.1, we need an additional voting meeting.

 

Suggestion: two weeks before SC23

                October 31 to November 3, 2023, virtual

                Could be fewer days depending on agenda

 

Starting after SC23 we would be back on a normal schedule:

 

Winter Meeting:

                December 4-7, 2023, virtual

                

Spring Meeting (space reserved):

                February 26-March 1, 2024, Chicago (Big Ten Center in Chicago, thanks to Maria and Bill)

                Start noon, end Noon

 

Summer Meeting:

                June timeframe, virtual

                Let’s wait for 2024 summer conflicts before fixing dates

 

Fall Meeting:

                September, again with EuroMPI and IWOMP 

                Location would be Pawsey Supercomputing Center near Perth, Australia

                (the location was already picked by IWOMP - I know this is a stretch for many, but we will have a hybrid option and it would help cover an area that is traditionally underrepresented in the forum and – especially – the conference)

 

Please take a look at the dates and send me any information about major conflicts.

 

Thanks!

 

Martin
