The MPI Forum (with old and new participants) has begun a follow-on
series of meetings.
Goals
-- clarify existing draft
-- provide features users have requested
-- make extensions, not changes
Major Topics being considered
-- dynamic process management
-- client/server
-- real-time extensions
-- ``one-sided'' communication (put/get, active messages)
-- portable access to MPI system state (for debuggers)
-- language bindings for C++ and Fortran-90
Schedule
-- Dynamic processes, client/server by SC '95
-- MPI-2 complete by SC '96
