[mpiwg-sessions] Slides for MPI BoF on Wed at SC17

[HOLMES Daniel]

Hi Geoffroy,

I deliberately put the multiple MPI libraries at the end because it adds an entirely new level of complexity on top of everything else and it is one of the least well thought out areas. I have the problem statement and design considerations slides near the beginning to explain what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.

I’ll fix the typo - well spotted.

Cheers,
Dan.

If you expect an audience with people having a very limited knowledge of MPI, I would add upfront a few slides similar to slides 13 and 14 at the beginning so that people can understand upfront what are the problems in this context and what are the benefits of the sessions (re-wording a bit of course); and only then present the details. In other words, I would make sure that points such as the ABI problem are included in slide 2-3.
