Thomas,

We are working on this topic at the University of Tennessee. In fact, 2 of the MPICH-V guys are now working on Open MPI on fault tolerant aspects. With all the expertise we gathered doing MPICH-V, we decided to take a different approach and to take advantage of the modular architecture offered by Open MPI. We don't focus on any specific message logging protocol right now (but we expect to have at least all those present in MPICH-V3). Instead what we target is a generic framework which will allow researchers to implement in a simple and straightforward way any message logging protocols they want, as well as providing all tools required to make their life easier.

The code is not yet in the Open MPI trunk but it will get there soon. We expect to be able to start moving the message logging framework in the trunk over the next month.

  Thanks,
    george.

Dear all,

I am currently working on a fault tolerant protocol for message passing
applications based on message logging.
For my experimentations, I want to implement my protocol in a MPI library.
I know that message logging protocols have already been implemented in
MPICH with MPICH-V.

I'm wondering if in the actual state of Open MPI it is possible to do
the same kind of work in this library ?
Is there somebody currently working on the same subject ?

Best regards,

Thomas Ropars.
