Our MPI-IO test program, testmpio, has been updated.  This program
exercises most of the features of the I/O chapter in the MPI-2
standard.  In this new version, we have corrected several errors
(thanks to Rajeev Thakur, Takao Hatazaki, and others who pointed
these out) and added some new tests.  In particular, testmpio now
tests all of the completion functions for nonblocking calls
(e.g. MPI_Testany, MPI_Waitsome, etc.).  It also has some tests for
the MPI-IO data representation conversion features.

The distribution now includes a second program, testrep, that does
extensive tests of MPI-IO datarep converters, including both
built-in conversions and users-defined conversions.  The program
includes an almost-complete example of a user-defined datarep
converter (the only thing missing is support for distributed array
types in memory).

You can download the source code from
http://www.llnl.gov/sccd/lc/piop/testmpio.tar.Z .  This code was
developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory by Linda
Stanberry and me.  If you'd like more information about LLNL's
MPI-IO work, see http://www.llnl.gov/sccd/lc/piop .
