1. taking advantage of the fact that we no longer create the launch message via a GPR trigger. In earlier times, we had the GPR create the launch message based on a subscription. In that mode of operation, we could not guarantee the order in which the data was stored in the message - hence, we had no choice but to parse the message in a loop that checked each value against a list of possible "keys" until the corresponding value was found.
Now, however, we construct the message "by hand", so we know precisely what data is in each location in the message. Thus, we no longer need to send the character string "keys" for each data value any more. This represents a rather large savings in the message size - to give you an example, we typically would use a 30-char "key" for a 2-byte data value. As you can see, the overhead can become very large.
2. sending node-specific data only once. Again, because we used to construct the message via subscriptions that were done on a per-proc basis, the data for each node (e.g., the daemon's name, whether or not the node was oversubscribed) would be included in the data for each proc. Thus, the node-specific data was repeated for every proc.
Now that we construct the message "by hand", there is no reason to do this any more. Instead, we can insert the data for a specific node only once, and then provide the per-proc data for that node. We therefore not only save all that extra data in the message, but we also only need to parse the per-node data once.
The savings become significant at scale. Here is a comparison between the revised trunk and the trunk prior to this commit (all data was taken on odin, using openib, 64 nodes, unity message routing, tested with application consisting of mpi_init/mpi_barrier/mpi_finalize, all execution times given in seconds, all launch message sizes in bytes):

3 0.87 48797 0.81 14376
4 1.0 64861 0.85 17704
Condensing those numbers, it appears we gained:
per-node message size: 251 bytes/node -> 113 bytes/node
per-proc message size: 251 bytes/proc -> 52 bytes/proc
per-job message size: 568 bytes/job -> 399 bytes/job
(job-specific data such as jobid, override oversubscribe flag, total #procs in job, total slots allocated)
The fact that the two pre-commit trunk numbers are the same confirms the fact that each proc was containing the node data as well. It isn't quite the 10x message reduction I had hoped to get, but it is significant and gives much better scaling.
Note that the timing info was, as usual, pretty chaotic - the numbers cited here were typical across several runs taken after the initial one to avoid NFS file positioning influences.
Also note that this commit removes the orte_process_info.vpid_start field and the handful of places that passed that useless value. By definition, all jobs start at vpid=0, so all we were doing is passing "0" around. In fact, many places simply hardwired it to "0" anyway rather than deal with it.

This commit was SVN r16422.
This patch also fixes a minor bug discovered along the way: we had "lost" the passing of the oversubscribed condition flag from the mapper to the orteds. Thus, we were not setting sched_yield correctly when in oversubscribed conditions (except when a hostfile was specified - different logic there because we treat the number of slots allocated on the node as "uncertain")
I did not modify the process component in this patch - I will send a proposed patch to the maintainers of that component so they can review it first.

* Fix some missing includes in a few places.
* Add the cr_request() functionality to the BLCR CRS component.
We are now dependent upon the 0.6.* series of BLCR.
* Made the CR notification mechanism a registered function.
This way we can have an OPAL-only version and it can be replaced at
runtime with the ORTE version.
* Add a 'opal_cr_allow_opal_only' parameter that will enable OPAL-only
CR functionality when the user wants it. Default: Disabled.
* Fix the placement of a checkpoint request check in MPI_Init
* Pull the OPAL notification mechanism into the SnapC framework.
* We no longer fork/exec the 'opal-checkpoint' command for local
checkpointing, the Local coordinator in the orted does this directly.
* The Local and Application coordinator talk together bypassing the OPAL
notifiation mechanism.
* Optimized the Local <-> App Coordinator communication.
* Improved the structure used to track vpid_snapshots in the local coord.
* Fix a race condition in which an application under heavy communication load
may produce an inconsistent global checkpoint.
This commit was SVN r16389.
The commit has been tested for C/R and Cray operations, and on Odin (SLURM, rsh) and RoadRunner (TM). I tried to update all environments, but obviously could not test them. I know that Windows needs some work, and have highlighted what is know to be needed in the odls process component.
This represents a lot of work by Brian, Tim P, Josh, and myself, with much advice from Jeff and others. For posterity, I have appended a copy of the email describing the work that was done:
As we have repeatedly noted, the modex operation in MPI_Init is the single greatest consumer of time during startup. To-date, we have executed that operation as an ORTE stage gate that held the process until a startup message containing all required modex (and OOB contact info - see #3 below) info could be sent to it. Each process would send its data to the HNP's registry, which assembled and sent the message when all processes had reported in.
In addition, ORTE had taken responsibility for monitoring process status as it progressed through a series of "stage gates". The process reported its status at each gate, and ORTE would then send a "release" message once all procs had reported in.
The incoming changes revamp these procedures in three ways:
1. eliminating the ORTE stage gate system and cleanly delineating responsibility between the OMPI and ORTE layers for MPI init/finalize. The modex stage gate (STG1) has been replaced by a collective operation in the modex itself that performs an allgather on the required modex info. The allgather is implemented using the orte_grpcomm framework since the BTL's are not active at that point. At the moment, the grpcomm framework only has a "basic" component analogous to OMPI's "basic" coll framework - I would recommend that the MPI team create additional, more advanced components to improve performance of this step.
The other stage gates have been replaced by orte_grpcomm barrier functions. We tried to use MPI barriers instead (since the BTL's are active at that point), but - as we discussed on the telecon - these are not currently true barriers so the job would hang when we fell through while messages were still in process. Note that the grpcomm barrier doesn't actually resolve that problem, but Brian has pointed out that we are unlikely to ever see it violated. Again, you might want to spend a little time on an advanced barrier algorithm as the one in "basic" is very simplistic.
Summarizing this change: ORTE no longer tracks process state nor has direct responsibility for synchronizing jobs. This is now done via collective operations within the MPI layer, albeit using ORTE collective communication services. I -strongly- urge the MPI team to implement advanced collective algorithms to improve the performance of this critical procedure.
2. reducing the volume of data exchanged during modex. Data in the modex consisted of the process name, the name of the node where that process is located (expressed as a string), plus a string representation of all contact info. The nodename was required in order for the modex to determine if the process was local or not - in addition, some people like to have it to print pretty error messages when a connection failed.
The size of this data has been reduced in three ways:
(a) reducing the size of the process name itself. The process name consisted of two 32-bit fields for the jobid and vpid. This is far larger than any current system, or system likely to exist in the near future, can support. Accordingly, the default size of these fields has been reduced to 16-bits, which means you can have 32k procs in each of 32k jobs. Since the daemons must have a vpid, and we require one daemon/node, this also restricts the default configuration to 32k nodes.
To support any future "mega-clusters", a configuration option --enable-jumbo-apps has been added. This option increases the jobid and vpid field sizes to 32-bits. Someday, if necessary, someone can add yet another option to increase them to 64-bits, I suppose.
(b) replacing the string nodename with an integer nodeid. Since we have one daemon/node, the nodeid corresponds to the local daemon's vpid. This replaces an often lengthy string with only 2 (or at most 4) bytes, a substantial reduction.
(c) when the mca param requesting that nodenames be sent to support pretty error messages, a second mca param is now used to request FQDN - otherwise, the domain name is stripped (by default) from the message to save space. If someone wants to combine those into a single param somehow (perhaps with an argument?), they are welcome to do so - I didn't want to alter what people are already using.
While these may seem like small savings, they actually amount to a significant impact when aggregated across the entire modex operation. Since every proc must receive the modex data regardless of the collective used to send it, just reducing the size of the process name removes nearly 400MBytes of communication from a 32k proc job (admittedly, much of this comm may occur in parallel). So it does add up pretty quickly.
3. routing RML messages to reduce connections. The default messaging system remains point-to-point - i.e., each proc opens a socket to every proc it communicates with and sends its messages directly. A new option uses the orteds as routers - i.e., each proc only opens a single socket to its local orted. All messages are sent from the proc to the orted, which forwards the message to the orted on the node where the intended recipient proc is located - that orted then forwards the message to its local proc (the recipient). This greatly reduces the connection storm we have encountered during startup.
It also has the benefit of removing the sharing of every proc's OOB contact with every other proc. The orted routing tables are populated during launch since every orted gets a map of where every proc is being placed. Each proc, therefore, only needs to know the contact info for its local daemon, which is passed in via the environment when the proc is fork/exec'd by the daemon. This alone removes ~50 bytes/process of communication that was in the current STG1 startup message - so for our 32k proc job, this saves us roughly 32k*50 = 1.6MBytes sent to 32k procs = 51GBytes of messaging.
Note that you can use the new routing method by specifying -mca routed tree - if you so desire. This mode will become the default at some point in the future.
There are a few minor additional changes in the commit that I'll just note in passing:
* propagation of command line mca params to the orteds - fixes ticket #1073. See note there for details.
* requiring of "finalize" prior to "exit" for MPI procs - fixes ticket #1144. See note there for details.
* cleanup of some stale header files

- Fixed a bug in the process name resolution which broke the 'preload-*'
functionality due to GPR table structure changes.
- The FileM RSH component might be able to see even more speedup from using a
thread pool to operate on the work_pool structures, but that is for future
work.

Application Level Placement Scheduler (ALPS).
This commit was tested under two Cray machines at ORNL: Jaguar (Catamount)
and Rizzo (CNL Test cage). Both machines performed as they should across
the commit.
It is likely that mor changes will follow this the work and environment
stabilizes.
Most of the infrastructure works the same for Catamount and CNL
except for a few bits. Below are the highlights:
Default IFACE Change:
On Catamount we can use PTL_IFACE_DEFAULT, but on the CNL system we have access
to will fail on this interface, and should be set to:
IFACE_FROM_BRIDGE_AND_NALID(PTL_BRIDGE_UK,PTL_IFACE_SS).
So if we detect that we are running with YOD then use the former interface
and if we detect that we are running with ALPS then use the latter.
We will want to pursue a more elegant solution if this interface continues to
change across machines.
PtlGetId and cnos_register_ptlid:
The header suggests that these should never be called when launching with YOD.
But in the ALPS environment the cnos_barrier() will hang forever if these
functions are not called after PtlNIInit(). Since these functions only need to
be called once, and the orte rmgr/cnos component is loaded before the ompi
common/portals componet then just call these functions once in the rmgr/cnos
component.
cnos_barrier_init():
This is a noop for YOD, but critical for ALPS. So be sure to call it before
calling the first barrier in the rmgr/cnos component.
cnos_barrier vs cnos_pm_barrier:
It is suggested the cnos_pm_barrier only be used during finalization
as it will indicate to the launcher (yod or aprun) that the app is about
to complete. It was suggested that we use the regular cnos_barrier() instead.
I want to look into this a bit more to make sure there are not adverse
side effects. A note has been placed in the code to indicate this reasoning.

r15390 - Changed the paradigm in which the runtime worked by enabling the mpirun
process to become an orted and spawn processes. This broke the C/R for this
special case as it required that the orted start the process, and that
the hierarchy remains.
The fix was to allow the global coordinator to be a local coordinator as well
for this case.
r15528 - Changed the selection logic for the RML. This caused the application to
segv if the 'ftrm' wrapper component was selected as it tried to modify a NULL

The fix was to move the 'module swap' code into the init() function, and swap
when passed a NULL pointer. It sounds bad, but actually cleans up the code a bit
more.

Cleanup ALL instances of output involving the printing of orte_process_name_t structures using the ORTE_NAME_ARGS macro so that the number of fields and type of data match. Replace those values with a new macro/function pair ORTE_NAME_PRINT that outputs a string (using the new thread safe data capability) so that any future changes to the printing of those structures can be accomplished with a change to a single point.
Note that I could not possibly find outputs that directly print the orte_process_name_t fields, but only dealt with those that used ORTE_NAME_ARGS. Hence, you may still have a few outputs that bark during compilation. Also, I could only verify those that fall within environments I can compile on, so other environments may yield some minor warnings.

The problem stemmed from no longer launching a local orted on the same node as mpirun. The orted would save and reuse the base environment. Mpirun didn't do that, and the odls was using the orted's globally saved environment (which wasn't being set).
This fix establishes a globally accessible base launch environment that both the orted and mpirun can utilize. Since we now use that, we don't need to pass it to the odls_launch_proc function, so remove that param from the API (and modify all components to handle the change).

single threaded builds. In its default configuration, all this does
is ensure that there's at least a good chance of threads building
based on non-threaded development (since the variable names will be
checked). There is also code to make sure that a "mutex" is never
"double locked" when using the conditional macro mutex operations.
This is off by default because there are a number of places in both
ORTE and OMPI where this alarm spews mega bytes of errors on a
simple test. So we have some work to do on our path towards
thread support.
Also removed the macro versions of the non-conditional thread locks,
as the only places they were used, the author of the code intended
to use the conditional thread locks. So now you have upper-case
macros for conditional thread locks and lowercase functions for
non-conditional locks. Simple, right? :).

1. generalize orte_rml.xcast to become a general broadcast-like messaging system. Messages can now be sent to any tag on the daemons or processes. Note that any message sent via xcast will be delivered to ALL processes in the specified job - you don't get to pick and choose. At a later date, we will introduce an augmented capability that will use the daemons as relays, but will allow you to send to a specified array of process names.
2. extended orte_rml.xcast so it supports more scalable message routing methodologies. At the moment, we support three: (a) direct, which sends the message directly to all recipients; (b) linear, which sends the message to the local daemon on each node, which then relays it to its own local procs; and (b) binomial, which sends the message via a binomial algo across all the daemons, each of which then relays to its own local procs. The crossover points between the algos are adjustable via MCA param, or you can simply demand that a specific algo be used.
3. orteds no longer exhibit two types of behavior: bootproxy or VM. Orteds now always behave like they are part of a virtual machine - they simply launch a job if mpirun tells them to do so. This is another step towards creating an "orteboot" functionality, but also provided a clean system for supporting message relaying.
Note one major impact of this commit: multiple daemons on a node cannot be supported any longer! Only a single daemon/node is now allowed.
This commit is known to break support for the following environments: POE, Xgrid, Xcpu, Windows. It has been tested on rsh, SLURM, and Bproc.

* Ditch MCA param orte_iof_debug (it wasn't used anywhere)
* Use MCA param orte_iof_override properly in the code (i.e., look
up the value once and use the cached value later)

generalized component include/exclude infrastructure. This commit
removes the oob_base_include and oob_base_exclude MCA params because
they have long-since been handled by the "oob" MCA parameter in the
MCA base.

A bunch of fixes from the /tmp/iof-fixes branch that fix up ''some''
(but not ''all'') of the problems that we have seen with iof:
* Reading very large files via stdin redirected to orteun (Sun saw
this)
* Reading a little bit of a large file redirected to orterun's stdin
and then either closing stdin or exiting the process
The Big Change was to make the proxy iof (the one running in non-HNP
orteds) send back a "I'm closing the stream" ACK back to the service
iof. This tells the HNP that there will be nothing more coming from
that peer, and therefore the iof forward should be removed.
Many other minor cleanups/fixes, terminology changes, and
documentation additions are included in this commit as well. However,
there are still some pretty big outstanding issues with IOF that are
not addressed either by #967 or this commit. A few examples:
* IOF was designed to allow multiple subscribers to a single stream.
We're not entirely sure that this works (for one thing, there is
nothing in the ORTE/OMPI code base that uses this functionality).
* There are also resources leaked when processes/jobs exit (per
Ralph's first comment on this ticket).
* There is no feedback to close orterun's stdin when all subscribers
to the corresponding stream have closed stdin.

This correctly repairs the problem by enabling the GPR's "get" function to correctly handle NULL data values.

The only place where we attempt to store/retrieve attributes is in the RMAPS framework in support of comm_spawn. So this is where things broke down. The fix was simply to say "if the attribute data type is ORTE_UNDEF, then treat it like a boolean with value true". Trivial fix - solves problem.

by using a small hash function before doing the strcmp. The hask key for each
registry entry is computed when it is added to the registry. When we're doing a
query, instead of comparing the 2 strings we first check if the hash key match,
and if they do match then we compare the 2 strings in order to make sure we
eliminate collisions from our answers.
There is some benefit in terms of performance. It's hardly visible for few
processes, but it start showing up when the number of processes increase. In fact
the number of strcmp in the trace file drastically decrease. The main reason it
works well, is because most of the keys start with basically the same chars
(such as orte-blahblah) which transform the strcmp on a loop over few chars.

Rename the oob_tcp_include and oob_tcp_exclude MCA parameters to be
oob_tcp_if_include and oob_tcp_if_exclude (to match the convention
with btl_tcp_if_[in|ex]clude). Keep "hidden" synonyms oob_tcp_include
and oob_tcp_exclude in case anyone is actually using them (and some
users undoubtedly are), but do not have them show up in ompi_info
--param output. Instead, the new "oob_tcp_if_*" names will show up in
ompi_info output.

The primary change that underlies all this is in the OOB. Specifically, the problem in the code until now has been that the OOB attempts to resolve an address when we call the "send" to an unknown recipient. The OOB would then wait forever if that recipient never actually started (and hence, never reported back its OOB contact info). In the case of an orted that failed to start, we would correctly detect that the orted hadn't started, but then we would attempt to order all orteds (including the one that failed to start) to die. This would cause the OOB to "hang" the system.
Unfortunately, revising how the OOB resolves addresses introduced a number of additional problems. Specifically, and most troublesome, was the fact that comm_spawn involved the immediate transmission of the rendezvous point from parent-to-child after the child was spawned. The current code used the OOB address resolution as a "barrier" - basically, the parent would attempt to send the info to the child, and then "hold" there until the child's contact info had arrived (meaning the child had started) and the send could be completed.
Note that this also caused comm_spawn to "hang" the entire system if the child never started... The app-failed-to-start helped improve that behavior - this code provides additional relief.
With this change, the OOB will return an ADDRESSEE_UNKNOWN error if you attempt to send to a recipient whose contact info isn't already in the OOB's hash tables. To resolve comm_spawn issues, we also now force the cross-sharing of connection info between parent and child jobs during spawn.
Finally, to aid in setting triggers to the right values, we introduce the "arith" API for the GPR. This function allows you to atomically change the value in a registry location (either divide, multiply, add, or subtract) by the provided operand. It is equivalent to first fetching the value using a "get", then modifying it, and then putting the result back into the registry via a "put".

To be precise, given this hypothetical launching pattern:
host1: vpids 0, 2, 4, 6
host2: vpids 1, 3, 5, 7
The local_rank for these procs would be:
host1: vpids 0->local_rank 0, v2->lr1, v4->lr2, v6->lr3
host2: vpids 1->local_rank 0, v3->lr1, v5->lr2, v7->lr3
and the number of local procs on each node would be four. If vpid=0 then does a comm_spawn of one process on host1, the values of the parent job would remain unchanged. The local_rank of the child process would be 0 and its num_local_procs would be 1 since it is in a separate jobid.
I have verified this functionality for the rsh case - need to verify that slurm and other cases also get the right values. Some consolidation of common code is probably going to occur in the SDS components to make this simpler and more maintainable in the future.
