Proposed Meeting Series: The Message Passing Interface Forum

拟议的消息传递接口论坛的工作涉及继续开展活动，重点是加强消息传递接口(MPI)，以便在由异类多核建立的分布式计算系统中的处理器之间传递数据，进行并行远程文件操作，以及对这种并行应用程序进行动态过程控制。当前标准提供了用于点对点和单边数据交换、阻塞集体通信例程、远程并行文件访问和动态过程控制的例程的核心。此外，还增加了对派生数据类型、通信上下文、进程组和虚拟进程拓扑等功能的支持。该论坛的工作将制定一项通信标准，以满足在千万亿级及以上的下一代计算设施上并行应用程序的需要。

The work of the proposed Message Passing Interface Forum addresses the continuation of activity focused on enhancing the Message Passing Interface (MPI) for passing data between processors in distributed computing systems built from heterogeneous multi-cores, for parallel remote file operations, and for dynamic process control of such parallel applications. The current standard provides a core of routines used for point-to-point and one-sided data exchange, blocking collective communications routines, remote parallel file access and dynamic process control. In addition, these are augmented with support for features such as derived data types, communications contexts, process groups, and virtual process topologies. The work of this forum will produce a communications standard suitable for addressing the needs of parallel applications on the next generation computing facilities at the petascale level and beyond.
