<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The PMIx Administrative Steering Committee (ASC) is soliciting short talks from researchers and practitioners whose work is related to the PMIx standard interface for inclusion in the second-quarter PMIx ASC meeting (meeting information
below) on July 22. We encourage presentations demonstrating novel application or optimization of the PMIx interface, as well as presentations that introduce new use cases or other issues for broad discussion. Selected speakers will share their work and ideas
with the PMIx community which could result in shaping the future direction of the PMIx standard or related efforts.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The objective of the PMIx standard is to provide an implementation-independent specification to facilitate interaction between applications, tools, and middleware and system runtime environments. The interface focuses on supporting application
launch and wire-up; supporting tools that wish to inspect, steer, and/or debug parallel applications; providing interfaces to manage dynamic workload applications, to support fault tolerance and cross-library coordination; and facilitate communication across
container boundaries. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We encourage anyone interested in sharing ideas or research related to these topics at our upcoming meeting to email Josh Hursey (<a href="mailto:jhursey@us.ibm.com">jhursey@us.ibm.com</a>) and Kathryn Mohror (<a href="mailto:kathryn@llnl.gov">kathryn@llnl.gov</a>)
by July 13, 2020. Include a title, presenter information, and a short abstract in your email.<o:p></o:p></p>
