This commit introduces a new "mindist" ORTE RMAPS mapper, as well as some relevant updates/new functionality in the opal/mca/hwloc and orte/mca/rmaps bases. This work was mainly developed by Mellanox, with a bunch of advice from Ralph Castain, and some minor advice from Brice Goglin and Jeff Squyres. Even though this is mainly Mellanox's work, Jeff is committing only for logistical reasons (he holds the hg+svn combo tree, and can therefore commit it directly back to SVN). ----- Implemented distance-based mapping algorithm as a new "mindist" component in the rmaps framework. It allows mapping processes by NUMA due to PCI locality information as reported by the BIOS - from the closest to device to furthest. To use this algorithm, specify: {{{mpirun --map-by dist:<device_name>}}} where <device_name> can be mlx5_0, ib0, etc. There are two modes provided: 1. bynode: load-balancing across nodes 1. byslot: go through slots sequentially (i.e., the first nodes are more loaded) These options are regulated by the optional ''span'' modifier; the command line parameter looks like: {{{mpirun --map-by dist:<device_name>,span}}} So, for example, if there are 2 nodes, each with 8 cores, and we'd like to run 10 processes, the mindist algorithm will place 8 processes to the first node and 2 to the second by default. But if you want to place 5 processes to each node, you can add a span modifier in your command line to do that. If there are two NUMA nodes on the node, each with 4 cores, and we run 6 processes, the mindist algorithm will try to find the NUMA closest to the specified device, and if successful, it will place 4 processes on that NUMA but leaving the remaining two to the next NUMA node. You can also specify the number of cpus per MPI process. This option is handled so that we map as many processes to the closest NUMA as we can (number of available processors at the NUMA divided by number of cpus per rank) and then go on with the next closest NUMA. The default binding option for this mapping is bind-to-numa. It works if you don't specify any binding policy. But if you specified binding level that was "lower" than NUMA (i.e hwthread, core, socket) it would bind to whatever level you specify. This commit was SVN r28552.

[multi-apps-and-zero-np]
Open MPI found multiple applications to be launched, and at least one
that failed to specify the number of processes to execute. When
specifying multiple applications, you must specify how many processes
of each to launch via the -np argument.
#
[orte-rmaps-mindist:no-pci-locality-info]
No PCI locality information could be found on at least one node. Please, upgrade BIOS to expose NUMA info.

Node: %s
Open MPI will map the application by default (BYSLOT).
#
[orte-rmaps-mindist:several-devices]
On at least one node, more than one of the specified device was discovered.
In this scenario, passing the 'auto' option to the rmaps minimum
distance mapper is ambiguous and therefore not valid.
Please select the particular device that you would like
to be mapped nearest via -mca rmaps_dist_device <device> option,
e.g. --map-by dist -mca rmaps_dist_device mlx4_0.
Device type: %s
#Devices: %d
Node: %s
Open MPI will map the application by default (BYSLOT).
#
[orte-rmaps-mindist:device-not-found]
The specified device type cannot be found on at least one node.
Device: %s
Node: %s
Open MPI will map the application by default (BYSLOT).
