August 2016 Open MPI Developer's Meeting

Logistics:

Until IBM fills in more logistics details, you can see the wiki page for the prior meeting at the IBM Facility -- it'll likely be similar

  • Yes, Geoff is filling out paperwork, etc now.
    • The paperwork asked if we're charging a fee to hold the event. I'm unsure of the ramifications, for now I said 'no', since we're not certain.

Attendees

  • Jeff Squyres, Cisco
  • Howard Pritchard, LANL
  • Geoffrey Paulsen, IBM
  • Stan Graves, IBM
  • Ralph Castain, Intel
  • George Bosilca, UTK (17 and 18)
  • Josh Hursey, IBM (tentative)
  • Edgar Gabriel, UHouston
  • ...please fill in your name here if you're going to attend...

Topics

  • After v2.1.0 release, should we merge from master to the v2.x branch?
    • Only if there are no backwards compatibility issues (!)
    • This would allow us to close the divergence/gap from master to v2.x, but keep life in the v2.x series (which is attractive to some organizations)
    • Alternatively, we might want to fork and create a new 3.x branch.
  • Present information about Spectrum MPI, processes, etc.
    • May have PR's ready to discuss requested changes, but schedule is tight in July / August for us.
  • MTT updates / future direction
  • New Cloud services update for website, database, etc.
  • How to help alleviate "drowning in CI data" syndrome?
    • One example: https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/1801
    • One suggestion: should we actively market for testers in the community to help wrangle this stuff?
    • If Jenkins detects an error, can we get Jenkins to retry the tests without the PR changes, and then compare the results to see if the PR itself is introducing a new error?
  • PMIx roadmap discussions
