From: "Rolf Rabenseifner" Date: January 18, 2008 10:17:44 AM CST To: mpi-21@XXXXXXXXXXX Cc: mpi-21@XXXXXXXXXXXXX Subject: [mpi-21] Incorrect use of MPI_IN_PLACE in description of MPI_ALLGATHER and MPI_ALLGATHERV Reply-To: mpi-21@XXXXXXXXXXXXX This is a proposal for MPI 2.1, Ballot 4. This is a follow up to: Incorrect use of MPI_IN_PLACE in description of MPI_ALLGATHER and MPI_ALLGATHERV http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/homes/wgropp/projects/parallel/MPI/mpi-errata/discuss/gatherinplace/ Jeff is right with his error report. I propose to remove the wrong text, because this (wrong) analogy is not needed for understanding the meaning of "in place" in MPI_ALLGATHER and MPI_ALLGATHERV. Proposal for MPI 2.1, Ballot 4: ------------------------------- On MPI-2.0, page 159, lines 23-28, remove the text "Specifically, ... ... n-1." On MPI-2.0, page 158, lines 25-31, remove the text "Specifically, ... ... n-1." ------------------------------- Discussion should be done through the new mailing list mpi-21@XXXXXXXXXXXX I have sent out this mail with CC through the old general list mpi-21@mpi-forum.org Best regards Rolf Dr. Rolf Rabenseifner . . . . . . . . . .. email rabenseifner@XXXXXXX High Performance Computing Center (HLRS) . phone ++49(0)711/685-65530 University of Stuttgart . . . . . . . . .. fax ++49(0)711 / 685-65832 Head of Dpmt Parallel Computing . . . www.hlrs.de/people/rabenseifner Nobelstr. 19, D-70550 Stuttgart, Germany .
