- MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HINDEXED_BLOCK
- Non-blocking collectives
- MPI_INFO_ENV support
- Fortran '08 bindings (see below)
- Dropped support for checkpoint/restart due to loss of maintainer :-(
- Enabled compile-time warning of deprecated MPI functions by default
(in supported compilers).
- Revamped Fortran MPI bindings (see the README for details):
- mpifort wrapper compiler
- "use mpi_f08" bindings (for compilers that support it)
- Better "use mpi" support (for compilers that support it)
- Removed incorrect MPI_SCATTERV interface from "mpi" module that was
added in the 1.5.x series for ABI reasons.
- Modified paffinity system to provide warning when bindings result in
being "bound to all", which is equivalent to "not bound"
- "mpifort" is now the preferred wrapper compiler for Fortran
- Added "use mpi_f08" bindings (for compilers that support it)
- Added better "use mpi" support (for compilers that support it)
- Removed incorrect MPI_SCATTERV interface from "mpi" module that
was added in the 1.5.x series for ABI reasons.
- Modified process affinity system to provide warning when bindings
result in being "bound to all", which is equivalent to not being
bound.
- Removed maffinity, paffinity, and carto frameworks (and associated
MCA params).
- Upgraded to hwloc v1.5.1.
- Added performance improvements to the OpenIB (OpenFabrics) BTL.
- Made malloc hooks more friendly to IO interprosers. Thanks to the
bug report and suggested fix from Darshan maintainer Phil Carns.
- Added support for the DMTCP checkpoint/restart system.
- Added support for the Cray uGNI interconnect.
- Fixed header file problems on OpenBSD.
- Fixed issue with MPI_TYPE_CREATE_F90_REAL.
- Wrapper compilers now explicitly list/link all Open MPI libraries if
they detect static linking CLI arguments.
- Open MPI now requires a C99 compiler to build. Please upgrade your
C compiler if you do not have a C99-compliant compiler.
- Fix MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME Fortran binding to set ierr properly.
Thanks to LANL for spotting the error.
- Many MXM and FCA updates.
- Fixed erroneous free of putenv'ed string that showed up in Valgrind
reports.
- Fixed MPI_IN_PLACE case for MPI_ALLGATHER.
- Fixed a bug that prevented MCA params from being forwarded to
daemons upon launch.
- Fixed issues with VT and CUDA --with-cuda[-libdir] configuration CLI
parameters.
- Entirely new implementation of many MPI collective routines focused
on better performance.
- Revamped autogen / build system.
- Add new sensor framework to ORTE that includes modules for detecting
stalled applications and processes that consume too much memory.
- Added new state machine framework to ORTE that converts ORTE into an
event-driven state machine using the event library
event-driven state machine using the event library.
- Added a new MCA parameter (ess_base_stream_buffering) that allows the user
to override the system default for buffering of stdout/stderr streams
(via setvbuf). Parameter is not visible via ompi_info
(via setvbuf). Parameter is not visible via ompi_info.
- Revamped the launch system to allow consideration of node hardware
in assigning process locations and bindings
- Added the -novm option to preserve the prior launch behavior
- Added new MCA parameter to provide protection against IO forwarding backlog
in assigning process locations and bindings.
- Added the -novm option to preserve the prior launch behavior.
- Revamped the process mapping system to utilize node hardware by adding
new map-by, rank-by, and bind-to cmd line options.
- Added new MCA parameter to provide protection against IO forwarding
backlog.
- Dropped support for native Windows due to loss of maintainers. :-(
- Added a new parallel I/O component and multiple new frameworks to
support parallel I/O operations.
- Fix typo in orte_setup_hadoop.m4. Thanks to Aleksej Saushev for
reporting it
- Fix a very old error in opal_path_access(). Thanks to Marco Atzeri
for chasing it down.
