(Cross posted to both the RMA and FT MPI-3 listservs)<div><br></div><div>During the FT plenary session at the Jan. MPI Forum meeting it was recommended that some of the members of the FT group and the RMA group have a meeting to hash out the precise details of the FT semantics for the RMA chapter. So I would like to facilitate such a discussion, preferability in the next week (so we have time to fine tune things before the next forum meeting).</div>
<div><br></div><div>In general, we are trying to answer the question "How should RMA operations behave when a process failure occurs?" The feeling seemed to be that the current approach is ok (invalidating the window, forcing recreation/validation), but the statement that the memory exposed in the window is 'undefined' seemed excessive. The suggestion was to change the wording to something like "Only the memory associated with a window that was targeted by an operation that modified it is undefined after process failure in the group associated with the window." This lead to a considerable amount of debate in the meeting, so it was suggested that we take the discussion offline.</div>
