I have a code based on MPI uising MPI2 IO to read/writte its data on disk (all mpi procces perform concurrent read/writte on the same file). Boost::mpi does not seems to include whose functionnalities (parralllel IO, views, async ios, basically the stuff described in http://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/mpi-20-html/node171.htm#Node171 ). Is there a plan to support that in the near future ? I had a looks a boost serialization libraries but they do not seems provide whose functionnalities (or did I missed something ?).

Right now, we don't have any plans to provide MPI-2 I/O support in Boost.MPI.

Thank for your answer. Can you tell if it is by lack of resources or is it just that you think there are better alternatives ? (something I missed in boost serialization library ?)

It is because a lack of time, and because the people who financed the development of Boost.MPI only needed MPI1. Matthias
