[Mpi3-hybridpm] Fw: [MPI Forum] #217: MPI3 Hybrid Programming: Proposal for Helper Threads

[Douglas Miller]

I've added a comment to ticket #217 that contains a couple straw votes.
Since we've not be able to discuss the Helper Teams proposal for some time,
I'd like to see if we can get this done online. Please review the proposal,
and contact me or the working group for answers to questions, and cast a
straw vote as to whether you think this proposal should be brought before
the Forum for formal readings and votes.

You will need to login to the wiki (authenticate) in order to see and cast
votes.

Also, if you vote "No" please provide some information (in a separate
post/comment) about what your objections are.

thanks,


P.S. I was able to get a Trac Wiki Macro installed that provides this
"Poll" functionality. More information is at
http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/PollMacro

Comment (by dougmill):

 Since we have not been able to discuss this in a meeting, I've setup a
 Straw Vote to decide if we should carry forward this proposal.

 Please review the latest attachment (mpi3-ticket217-ei-2.pdf) and vote
 accordingly. Especially if you vote "No", please post why you object or
 what it is you object to. Thanks.

 Note, you will need to login to the wiki before you can see, or cast,
 votes.

 [[Poll(Should the "Teams" (Helper Threads) proposal be carried forward to
 a Forum reading and vote?; Yes; No)]]

 Also, please take a look at the "alternate" proposal that makes the JOIN
 team size dynamic, and give a quick Yes/No on that as well.

 [[Poll(Is the dynamic team size proposal worth considering?; Yes; No)]]
