Attendees:

Minutes:

• Sandia requested PMIx citations for including in their project proposals involving PMIx. Ralph provided them PMIx BOF presentations and David's presentation
• It will be good to submit a paper or more on PMIx at a conference. Artem said he could author a paper on PMIx, will get back to the community after checking with his boss. Annu volunteered to author a paper on Event notification and response.
• Discussed whether to return partial success or success status for a look up operation when PMIx cannot get all the requested items. Team reached a consensus to return partial success status which will prompt the user to check if the returned array has keys of his interest. Refer to mailing list for further information. *UTK and Sandia are working on adding internode communication to PMIx as a configurable option. The RM may chose to use its own internode communication or leverage PMIx provided capability.
