[mpiwg-rma] Fwd: [MPI Forum] #456: MPI 3.0 Errata: MPI RMA synchronization for MPI shared memory

[Rolf Rabenseifner]

Dear Bill and whole RMA working Group,

I tried to bring all my knowledge together to solve the 
"shared memory synchronization problem".

I know, that you Bill also wanted to solve this problem.
Please take my ticket 
https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/456
as a basis or stone quarry or ... .

For me, it is important to really find all locations that must 
be touched to solve the Problem and to have a consistent solution.

I hope that I found all of them and my solution is consistent. 

The solution is free of technical implementation internals,
i.e., the local memory barriers are only mentioned in a rationale.

I hope you all enjoy the proposal and it is a basis for
further improvements.

Best bregards
Rolf
