Hi all,

 

As mentioned during the forum meeting, we should start thinking about the 
timeline for MPI 4.1. Our goal was to produce a relatively quick turn-around 
version of the standard, with a big focus on clean-up and fixed terminology and 
only minor technical additions. While we have made good progress in this 
direction, several important items are still outstanding. I would like to use 
the September meeting to make a final collection of these items and with that 
start fixing a timeline that we can plan with (keep in mind, we need several 
voting meetings before the last idea being read and when a standard can be 
ratified).

 

To enable this, it would be helpful if each working group and chapter committee 
could provide a list of items they still consider outstanding and needed for 
MPI 4.1. Also I would like everyone to take a look at the MPI 4.1 project board 
at 

 

https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/projects/3

 

and check whether you have items there and whether they are still in the MPI 
4.1 range.

 

I would like to get a preliminary assessment on this by mid July, so we can 
have a first discussion at the July 20th virtual meeting. I hope this gives 
enough time – please let me know if you have questions or concerns!

 

Thanks,

 

Martin

 

PS: Please also check the chapter committee membership, which is listed on the 
MPI 4.1 page of the forum website. If would like to make any changes or sign up 
for particular CCs, please let me know. Thanks!
