[ofa-general] OpenFabrics Developer's Summit: tentative agenda

[Jeff Squyres]

I, too, would suggest that sessions requiring active discussion among  
the OFED developers should be given higher priority in the schedule /  
longer sessions than those that are just presenting a status update  
(e.g., Open MPI and MVAPICH).  I would think that both the MPI status  
updates could be shortened down to 15 minutes each and moved to early  
Friday morning, for example.

Is there any intent for HP MPI or Intel MPI to speak?  I would be  
interested to hear what they have to say (e.g., feedback on the OFED  
stack vs. other network stacks and other status update kinds of  
things).  That would be another reason to shorten the existing MPI  
sessions (so that all the MPI's can speak).

Just my $0.02...
