[Mpi-21] AUTHORS: new consistent version and write-token to you

Wed Apr 16 16:57:28 CDT 2008

Adam,
     You have done a wonderful job of fixing the merged collectives chapter,
which was a nontrivial task (and hence I didn't volunteer for it :-)). I
only have some minor comments listed below.

Rajeev

* pg 133, ln 27-28: change to the plural -- "patterns of" and "do not fit"

* pg 134, ln 32-33: What does matching arguments mean? Does it mean same
arguments? That's not true for the root argument of rooted collectives on
the group containing the root. Maybe just delete the sentence.

* pg 136, ln 22-23: move "for intracommunicators" to the beginning of the
sentence

* pg 140, ln 28: change "are using" to "use"

* pg 149, ln 45: change "are using" to "use"

* pg 154, ln 33: change "are using" to "use"

* pg 162, ln 10: change "are using" to "use"

* pg 163, Sec 5.9.3: Delete the sentence "This is an extension to MPI-1.2,
..." since we are all one now. Merge the next paragraph on heterogeneous
into this one, and fix spelling of "charater" to character.

* pg 165, ln 10: change "are using" to "use"

* pg 167, ln 38-39: Question - Do we want to also list MPI_Accumulate with a
forward reference to it?

* pg 170, ln 3: change "is using" to "uses"

* pg 171, ln 38: should be "In such a case" or better "In this case"

* pg 171, ln 43: change "is using" to "uses" and "an intracommunicators" to
the singular

* pg 174, ln 11: change "illegal" to "invalid"

* pg 174, ln 12-20: Delete the entire rationale. It was included in MPI-1 to
justify not having an exclusive scan. Doesn't apply any more. You deleted
only the last sentence, which was explicit, but the whole rationale should
go.

* pg 175, ln 13-20: By the same token, delete the entire rationale here. It
was used to justify adding an exclusive scan to MPI-2. Even the "no in-place
version" is covered above in lin 5. Maybe you can change that line 5 to
include the justification as follows: "No in-place version is supported
because it is not clear what this means for the process with rank zero".
Note that it should be "process with rank zero" rather than "process for
rank zero" as in the current text.

* pg 175, ln 25: change "is using" to "uses"

Rest looks great!
