As a service (at costs) for users of the Message Passing Interface, HLRS has printed the new Standard, Version 3.0 (852 pages) in hardcover. The price is only 19.50 Euro or 25 US-$. You can find a picture of the book and the text of the standard at http://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/docs.html Selling & shipping of the book is done through https://fs.hlrs.de/projects/par/mpi/mpi30/ MPI-3.0 implemetations will be available soon. See Richard Graham "The MPI-3.0 Standard", slides 53-54, presented at the EuroMPI, Sep 24-26, 2012 in Vienna: http://www.par.univie.ac.at/conference/eurompi2012/docs/s7t2.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------- See also at SC12, Salt Lake City, HLRS-booth 1036, Nov. 12-15 and - MPICH BOF, Tuesday Nov. 13, 12:15-1:15pm, Room 155-B - OpenMPI BOF, Wednesday Nov. 14, 12:15-1:15pm, Room 155-B - MPI-3.0 BOF, Thursday Nov. 15, 12:15-1:15pm, Room 355-A A limited number of the books will be available directly there. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Details on MPI-3.0: ------------------- MPI-3.0 is a new version of the MPI standard that better serves the needs of the parallel computing community for better platform and application support. Major improvements are: - Improvements to the one-sided communication: -- New window allocation methods -- New RMA interfaces -- Special support for clusters of shared memory nodes - Nonblocking collectives - Scalable sparse collectives (neighbor communication in topologies) - Thread-safe message probe - New MPI Fortran binding that is the first time consistent with the Fortran standard: the new mpi_f08 module - Enhancements for the existing Fortran mpi module - Non-collective communicator creation - Support for large counts (larger than 32 bit values) - Enhancements to MPI_Init, etc. - Additional new tools interface - The MPIR process acquisition interface (an extra document). Major removals are: - Some MPI-1.1 functionality that was deprecated since MPI-2.0. - For C++ programming, the C++ bindings were substituted by the C bindings. For this, several MPI-2.2 errata items were defined.
