Thanks to Gabriele Fatigati for identifying the - problem. 1.5.2 ----- -- Added ummunotify support for OpenFabrics-based transports. See the - README for more details. +- Replaced all custom topology / affinity code with initial support + for hwloc v1.1.1 (PLPA has been removed -- long live hwloc!). Note + that hwloc is bundled with Open MPI, but an external hwloc can be + used, if desired. See README for more details. +- Fixed multi-token command-line issues when using the mpirun + --debug switch. For example: + mpirun --debug -np 2 a.out "foo bar" + Thanks to Gabriele Fatigati for reporting the issue. +- Added ARM support. +- Updated ROMIO from MPICH v1.3.1 (plus one additional patch). +- Fixed some deprecated MPI API function notification messages. +- Added new "bfo" PML that provides failover on OpenFabrics networks. +- Fixed some buffer memcheck issues in MPI_*_init. +- Added Solaris-specific chip detection and performance improvements. +- Fix some compile errors on Solaris. +- Updated the "rmcast" framework with bug fixes, new functionality. +- Updated the Voltaire FCA component with bug fixes, new functionality. +- Fix gcc 4.4.x and 4.5.x over-aggressive warning notifications on + possibly freeing stack variables. Thanks to the Gentoo packagers + for reporting the issue. +- Make the openib component be verbose when it disqualifies itself due + to MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE. +- Minor man page fixes. +- Various checkpoint / restart fixes. +- Fix race condition in the one-sided unlock code. Thanks to + Guillaume Thouvenin for finding the issue. +- Improve help message aggregation. +- Add OMPI_Affinity_str() optional user-level API function (i.e., the + "affinity" MPI extension). See README for more details. - Added btl_tcp_if_seq MCA parameter to select a different ethernet interface for each MPI process on a node. This parameter is only useful when used with virtual ethernet interfaces on a single network card (e.g., when using virtual interfaces give dedicated hardware resources on the NIC to each process). -- +- Changed behavior of mpirun to terminate if it receives 10 (or more) + SIGPIPEs. +- Fixed oversubscription detection. +- Added new mtl_mx_board and mtl_mx_endpoint MCA parameters. +- Added ummunotify support for OpenFabrics-based transports. See the + README for more details. 1.5.1
