[Mpi3-hybridpm] Reminder for telecon tomorrow

[Pavan Balaji]

I wanted to follow up on some of the discussion in the telecon yesterday.

Someone from IBM (Brian?) pointed out that how they initialize their
communication hardware on BG/P depends on how many endpoints need to be
created. Can you elaborate on this? Does initializing the hardware with
more endpoints have a performance impact, or use more memory? If not,
can't this be initialized with the maximum number of endpoints (this
information will be available at MPI_Init time)?

Not allowing any communication calls between the two phases of the split
initialization might be restrictive for users used to the MPI-2.2 kind
of semantics.

Thanks,
