</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I would like to start bi-weekly con calls to discuss Fault Tolerance and<BR>
dynamic process support in the context of MPI 3.0. First, we need to find<BR>
a time for the telecon that works for most people, so I will start by<BR>
suggesting that we have the call on Wed's at 11 am EST, starting 1/30/2008.<BR>
How does this work for people who plan to be active participants in this<BR>
work ?<BR>
<BR>
The items I would like to start addressing next week are<BR>
- Does MPI provide FT, or enable FT work ?<BR>
- Do we need more than is available in the current standard ?<BR>
- If so, what are the use-case scenarios that we are aiming to support ?<BR>
<BR>
These seem to be a good starting point for discussions. If you have a<BR>
particular use-case you want us to consider in this working group, please<BR>
write it up and circulate it to on the mailing list at least a day before we<BR>
meet, to give people a chance to read these over. Please keep the<BR>
descriptions high-level, avoiding specific solutions, at this stage. We<BR>
will start to discuss specifics once we have defined the scope of the<BR>
problem that needs to be addressed - if we agree that there is one in the<BR>
first place.<BR>
<BR>
Same thing for dynamic process support - if you have specific use-case<BR>
scenarios that are not supported under the current standard, and you would<BR>
like to have these considered for inclusion in the 3.0 standard, please<BR>
provide the use cases you would like the group to consider.<BR>
<BR>
We should continue to take input on use case scenarios until the next<BR>
face-to-face meeting, but the sooner we get these, the more effective we<BR>
will be in proceeding in a timely manner.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
