The MPI forum is actively working for a better MPI standard. The results are the new version 3 of the MPI standard, and the efforts for the incoming MPI 3.1/4.0. The technological changes provide many opportunities for improvements and new ideas. This paper introduces two main contributions in this direction: (1) how to improve the MPI_Info object implementation, and (2) a new way of using the former improved MPI_Info object as a storage solution.
