Just a note about the MPI documentation and the Fortran90 bindings.
It would be helpful if the MPI function man pages, and
perhaps any new edition or third volume of the "MPI Complete Reference",
maybe the MPI-3 standard, were more clear about the subroutine
arguments in the Fortran90 bindings.
Currently they seem to deal only with Fortran77,
only mention that a certain argument is an array of some
basic/MPI type, and even use the "assumed-size array notation",
e.g. "ARRAY_OF_REQUESTS(*)" .
Nothing is said about array rank/dimensionality
restrictions or capabilities,
which would be helpful information for those like me
who are enchained to Fortran90 like Prometheus to the cliff.
Good point.
FWIW, the new F08 module in MPI-3 will be much,
much mo' betta than the existing MPI F90 bindings.
We plan to prototype the F08 module in OMPI when we finish
specifying it in the Forum, and revamp the F90 support in OMPI
at more-or-less the same time.
I wish my senator listened to me as much as my
MPI Forum representative does! :)
Thanks,
