<p>Dear Forum, here is the gist of what we added to Ticket #466, which is proposed for first reading in Chicago:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We have added two files - coll-18may15.pdf and topol-18may15.pdf, reflecting the changes needed to complete the proposal and address the major concerns from Jeff Hammond (thank you).
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Note that we have made additions </p>
<ul>
<li>5.1.3 - new section called "Persistent Collective Operations" ; p 74 in coll-18may15.pdf
</li><li>We fixed text on page 57, lines 27-30, which addressed the issue with non-blocking collective requests being persistent.
</li><li>we modified Topology Chapter (see topol-18may15.pdf) to contemplate persistent neighborhood communication; we added section 7.8 - Persistent Neighborhood Communication on Process Topologies
</li></ul>
<p>NOTE: There is another change that we must make, but did not feel comfortable doing once we prototyped the LaTeX, namely, in Section 3.9 of the the current standard, Point-to-Point Chapter, Looking at p73, the current text says
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>"A persistent communication request is created using one of the five following calls. These calls involve no communication."
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As part of this ticket, we also want to change these sentences to read as follows:
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>"A persistent point-to-point communication request is created using of the five following calls (persistent collective communication requests are discussed in Section X.YZ). Persistent point-to-point communication initialization calls involve no communication.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>NOTE: This is a cross-reference to new logic, that makes no change in the standard with regard to the existing functionality described there, but specifically differentiates between extant point-to-point requests produced by point-to-point initialization
functions and the new collective ones. It could be considered a ticket 0 change, but we didn't like how the LaTeX worked and needed not to check-in the chapter here.
