What follows is a bullet summary of the discussion and recommended changes. Full implementation of MPI-2 not available at this time. Perceived as pretty heavy weight. Ability to have your program running on two machines - only use MPI CH right now. There was a length discussion about lint - assume compilation on the target machine.
Makes are really incompatible.
If shared, don't have to have duplicate copies in memory or on difference machines. Issue of the assembler - should an assembler be available on the machine. IEEE format There but not everyone follows it. More practical to store date in IEEE format, but will probably not work. Wonderful if automated.
