Hello all There are two new PMIx working groups starting up to work on new APIs and attributes to support application/tool interactions with the system management stack in the following areas:
1. tiered storage support - prepositioning of files/binaries/libraries, directed hot/warm/cold storage strategies, file system aware scheduling algorithms, etc. See https://github.com/pmix/publications/blob/master/PMIx-TieredStorage.pdf <https://github.com/pmix/publications/blob/master/PMIx-TieredStorage.pdf>, slides 15-21 for some ideas. 2. network support - we already have defined network APIs for launch support (see https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0012.md <https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0012.md>). This working group will investigate additional definitions to support requests for obtaining information on fabric topology and status, traffic reports, registering for network-related events, requesting changes in QoS, etc. The goal of these efforts is to deliver an RFC to the PMIx community that will be incorporated into the PMIx v3.0 version of the standard, expected out in Q42017. Implementations will be included in the corresponding releases of the PMIx convenience library and the PMIx reference server. All are welcome. If you would like to participate in either of these, please drop me a note, or join the PMIx developer’s mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pmix <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pmix>) and indicate your interest there.
