With the release of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard
version 2.2 (http://www.mpi-forum.org) the standard has been
consolidated into a single, more coherent document, numerous
corrections and clarifications have been made, and the standard has
been updated to support the current versions of the C, C++ (C99), and
Fortran (2003) standards.
The work of this standards body has shifted to focusing on proposed
changes needed to fill functionality and scalability gaps. This
includes the addition of support for nonblocking collectives, support
for fault-tolerance within the standard, improved support for remote
memory operations, improved support in threaded environments, and
standardized hooks for tool access to information internal to MPI
implementations.
