MPI-3.0 is a major update to the MPI standard. The updates include the extension of collective operations to include nonblocking versions, extensions to the one-sided operations, and a new Fortran 2008 binding. In addition, the deprecated C++ bindings have been removed, as well as many of the deprecated routines and MPI objects (such as the MPI_UB datatype). Any valid MPI-2.2 program not using any of these removed MPI procedures or objects is a valid MPI-3.0 program.
