We discussed fault safe measures for MPI calls. That is, would we put hooks into an extended API for MPI calls to support fault tolerant applications. We decided to make the fault tolerant work a separate chapter, and address it later. We revised the API for building collective channels to avoid enumerating a lot of empty channels. We discussed event models further, and discovered that more work is needed in this area.
Further work is needed.
Persistent channels without buffers, in order to provide a mechanism for global events, was discussed, in particular. Event-classes are to be the mechanism for distributing events over groups. We agreed to consider best-effort QOS' as part of a future meeting. We reviewed our schedule, over the next months, which we offer as a separate message.
