On the telconf today we discussed names and decided on:
ORCA: Open MPI Runtime Collaborative Abstraction
I will commit this to the trunk this evening. It is a -BIG- commit to
the OMPI and ORTE layers so I am going to need some quiet time to help
make sure things go smoothly. I would like to start the quiet time at
4:30 pm US Eastern. I will send an email at that time to the devel
list, and send a followup when I'm all done.
Again: Quiet time starts at 4:30 pm US Eastern for the Open MPI trunk.
Thanks!
Josh
