The FT model for windows is similar to the point-to-point mode: break nothing by default, provide tools to the user level to break and fix the issues. Thus, on group based operations only ranks directly involved in RMA operations with failed processes will be notified. A special function (MPI_Win_invalidate) is available to mark the window as improper to RMA operations, other wise (and this with few restrictions) further RMA not including the failed processes should proceed as expected in a failure-free execution. <div><br></div><div><div><div><div>The current version if the FT proposal is attached to this email, and can be accessed in the working group wiki @ <a href="https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/wiki/User_Level_Failure_Mitigation">https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/wiki/User_Level_Failure_Mitigation</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>We expect to have a final version of the proposal by Monday noon EST, as requested by the MPI_Forum to be able to have a first reading at the next meeting. We are looking forward to your comments.</div><div><br></div><div> george.</div></div></div><div><br></div><div></div></div></body></html>
