Attached is the list of proposals that are under consideration for key<br>features that will gate the MPI-3.0 release. Each organization should<br>vote for 3 items on this list, by sending a note to Jeff Squyres and<br>myself, by end of the day Sunday, 5/22/2011. The top three items will<br>be the gating items for release 3.0.<br><br>Rich<br><br>- RMA - Significant enhancements to MPI's one-sided communication to <br> incorporate requests from multiple user communities and codification <br> of established practice<br><br>- FT stabilization - A proposal that defines semantics for MPI to <br> continue and function upon failure, due to process failure.<br> <br>- Fortran bindings - improved Fortran bindings, taking into account<br> Fortran 2003 and 2008 features.<br><br>- MPI-T - The MPI_T interface, proposed in ticket #266, provides a mechanism for<br>the MPI implementation to expose a set of variables, each of which represent a<br>particular property, setting, or performance measurement from within the MPI<br>implementation. Tools can use this information to help users understand and<br>optimize the configuration of the MPI library and/or the performance of their<br>codes.<br><br>- Neighborhood collectives - scalable sparse collective support<br><br>- Const - Make the MPI binding const correct<br><br>- MPI Count - Add the mpi count type<br><br>- Nonblocking collective I/O - extend nonblocking collective support to<br> include MPI-I/O<br><br>- Hybrid: Shared memory communicator, Threads, and Endpoint proposals<br><br>- Persistence - expand the support for persistent communications, for optimal<br> performance.<br><br><br>The eligible organizations include:<br>- ANL <br>- Bull<br>- Cisco<br>- Cray<br>- Fujitsu<br>- HDF<br>- HLRS<br>- HP<br>- IBM<br>- Indiana U.<br>- INRIA<br>- Intel<br>- LLNL<br>- LANL<br>- Microsoft<br>- NCSA/UIUC<br>- ORNL<br>- OSU<br>- Oracle<br>- SNL<br>- U Alabama Birmingham<br>- U Tennessee<br>- U.
