[Mpi3-ft] Recoverability of MPI State Proposal Discussion

[Josh Hursey]

I'd like to start the discussion on the proposal for "defining  
communicator state with process loss", or recoverability of MPI state  
in the presence of process loss.

To start the discussion I am suggesting that folks have a look at the  
following paper since I think it relates to quite a number of related  
topics:

Fagg, G., et. al. "Extending the MPI Specification for Process Fault  
Tolerance on High Performance Computing Systems"
