@puribangalore - This is scheduled for a second vote at the September meeting, but I can't remember now, does this also need a no-no vote, or did we take care of the last of that at the August meeting? I think we took care of it all, but I want to be sure. |
|
The no-no-vote was already taken at the August meeting and there are no more changes, at least as of today. |

This passed a second vote on 2020-09-28. |
Problem
When reviewing the terms chapter to clarify issues for persistent/persistence (which was not defined there) and adding focused new changes to support persistence, we discovered that there are evidently many missing terms. In preparing for the MPI-4 release, a complete glossary with definitions (some which may just be later in the standard) is missing. What is more, the use of some terms are used interchangeably in the standard, and it might be necessary to review the entire proposal text once the glossary is updated, to uniformize certain terminology for clarity.
No such changes will make functional changes in MPI-4, but we want the standard to be understandable to non-experts.
Proposal
Add a full glossary of terms, clarify existing terms, add missing terms (e.g., buffer). Clarify the differences between operations, procedure calls (aka procedures, aka calls), etc. A thorough study of all useful glossary terms and standardized definitions should be here.
Changes to the Text
The terms chapter will be revised and extended. Once that's done, it may be useful for chapter authors to review the terms, and make sure each chapter complies with the terminology as clarified. No non-editorial changes are expected from such a review.
Impact on Implementations
None.
Impact on Users
Users will be able to understand the standard better.
