Compliance with documentation requirements on conformance The documentation requirements in ISO/IEC TR 10000-1 on conformance have been met in so far as they are applicable to this PDISP. 3. Non-compliance with base standards There are no aspects of actual or potential non-compliance with the base standards. 4. Amendments and technical corrigenda Other than those referenced in section B.1 there are no amendments or technical corrigenda that are considered to have a potential impact on inter-working and no such amendments are referred to in this PDISP. C. Relationship to other publications 1. List of regional or national standards referenced No national or regional standards are referenced in this PDISP part. D. Profile purpose 1. Executive summary The purpose of the POSIX 1003.10 is To define a supercomputing application environment profile, based on the POSIX suite of standards, in order to provide application and user portability in a supercomputing environment. To identify additional supercomputing requirements not currently met by formal standards. 2. Relationship to other ISPs and usage of common text This profile is one of four POSIX Profiles being developed. Two for these four have been approved and published within IEEE. It is the intent of this Explanatory report to bring these profiles forward to the ISO/IEC. E. PDISP development process 1. Origin and development history This PDISP has been developed by PASC. 2. Openness and Harmonisation Participation in PASC, as in all IEEE standards activities, is open to any individual who wishes to participate. While there is no requirement that PASC participants be IEEE members, membership in the IEEE is encouraged of all PASC participants. Once a draft standard is completed and enters the balloting process, only IEEE members are permitted to vote on its ratification as an official IEEE standard. There are two levels of participation in PASC. The first, and most important, is participation in quarterly PASC meetings. These meetings are held throughout the United States (and periodically in Europe). The second is to participate through receiving, reviewing, and commenting on PASC Working Group materials that are distributed eight times per year. These distributions have traditionally been conducted via paper, but are now also available through the Internet. 3. Joint planning between submitting organisation and SC22 There has been no joint planning operation between the submitting organisation and SC22. F. ISP Content and Format 1. Compliance with requirements of TR 10000-1 on content and format The requirements of clauses 6.3, 8 and annex A of TR 10000-1 on the content and format of an ISP have been met. 2. Divergence from requirements of TR 10000-1 There is no divergence from the requirements of TR 10000-1 on the content and format of an ISP. 3. Multi-part structure POSIX 1003-10 has a single-part structure. G. Any other pertinent information None ____________________ end of SC22 N2724 _____________________________
