Update the RMA chapter to reflect changes in the terms chapter #16

Closed devreal closed 8 months ago

devreal commented 3 years ago

I have started an attempt to update the RMA chapter to reflect the changes in the terms chapter that will come with 4.0. In particular, I tried to correct the use of the terms (non)blocking, local, and collective. While reading through the text, I noticed that in many places the terms call and operation are conflated, e.g., stating that a put call is completed by a synchronization call. I tried to correct that wherever I felt like the term operation should be used instead of call. Plus, some minor fixes to inline enumerations that I feel make the text slightly easier to read.

I put this out here before creating the PR to the forum, in case the WG has some feedback on this.
