<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Just a couple comments on new things added.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">The text on the MPI_HELPER_TEAM_CREATE INFO seems unclear. Here's some proposed alternate text:</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"><b>balanced </b></font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">- if set to true, the MPI implementation may assume that all threads in the team will actively participate by making MPI calls (or calling MPI_HELPER_TEAM_LEAVE). If false, the implementation must allow for some threads spending the bulk of their time performing computation or other non-MPI activities.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">...also, wouldn't setting 'singular' to true also imply/force 'balanced' to true? It almost seems like we have a three-state value rather than two booleans. From strict to weak: (singular), (!singular,balanced), (!singular,!balanced). I'm not clear just how much difference there is between singular (true) and balanced (true). Maybe we need only 'balanced'?</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">-------</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Also, I think MPI_HELPER_TEAM_YIELD could be clearer. Maybe:</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">This call allows a thread to actively participate in the team while performing other activities not related to MPI. The frequency with which a thread calls this function affects how much the thread is able to participate. This function is typically needed only if MPI_HELPER_TEAM_CREATE was called with INFO having </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><b>balanced </b></font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">and </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><b>singular </b></font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">set to false (or MPI_INFO_NULL).</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">(or is that last sentence an "advice to users"?)</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">-------</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">thanks,</font><br>

I've uploaded v0.9 of the EI chapter to the wiki. This is close to the <br>
version we will be presenting to the Forum. Changes at this point, if <br>
any, will be minor (e.g., some more description of the functionality, etc.).<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
