• How to create an abstraction in MPI that will support all resource managers

• Makes sense to look closely at what PMIx has done for their key value pairs and perhaps copy/emulate them in MPIR2

  • They have already done the hard work of figuring out the general abstractions. Makes sense to build on what they have done

• Everyone's homework: read over what is in PMIx already. Looking for key/value pairs that specify what they debugger wants to convey to the resource manager.
