Brian dealt with this in the past by creating platform files and using "no-build" to block the components. This was clunky, but acceptable when only one organization was using that option. However, that number has now expanded to at least two more locations.
Accordingly, make --without-rte-support actually work by adding appropriate configury to prevent components from building when they shouldn't. While doing so, remove two frameworks (db and rmcast) that are no longer used as ORCM comes to a close (besides, they belonged in ORCM now anyway). Do some minor cleanups along the way.

The wiki page is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to complete it over the next few days. I will provide updates on the devel list. As the wiki page states, the default and most commonly used options remain unchanged (except as noted below). New, esoteric and complex options have been added, but unless you are a true masochist, you are unlikely to use many of them beyond perhaps an initial curiosity-motivated experimentation.
In a nutshell, this commit revamps the map/rank/bind procedure to take into account topology info on the compute nodes. I have, for the most part, preserved the default behaviors, with three notable exceptions:
1. I have at long last bowed my head in submission to the system admin's of managed clusters. For years, they have complained about our default of allowing users to oversubscribe nodes - i.e., to run more processes on a node than allocated slots. Accordingly, I have modified the default behavior: if you are running off of hostfile/dash-host allocated nodes, then the default is to allow oversubscription. If you are running off of RM-allocated nodes, then the default is to NOT allow oversubscription. Flags to override these behaviors are provided, so this only affects the default behavior.
2. both cpus/rank and stride have been removed. The latter was demanded by those who didn't understand the purpose behind it - and I agreed as the users who requested it are no longer using it. The former was removed temporarily pending implementation.
3. vm launch is now the sole method for starting OMPI. It was just too darned hard to maintain multiple launch procedures - maybe someday, provided someone can demonstrate a reason to do so.
As Jeff stated, it is impossible to fully test a change of this size. I have tested it on Linux and Mac, covering all the default and simple options, singletons, and comm_spawn. That said, I'm sure others will find problems, so I'll be watching MTT results until this stabilizes.

ason to return the topology from every daemon. Borrow a page from the --hetero-apps page and let users indicate that the node topology differs by adding a --
hetero-nodes option to mpirun. If the option is set, then every daemon returns topology info. If not set, then only daemon vpid=1 returns it.
We always want one daemon to return the topology as the head node is often different from the compute nodes. Having one daemon return the compute node topolo
gy allows us to detect any such difference. All compute nodes are then set to the same topology.

Over the course of time, usage of static ports got corrupted in several places, the "parent" info got incorrectly reset, etc. So correct all that and get the regex-based wireup going again.
Also, don't pass node lists if static ports aren't enabled - they are of no value to the orted and just create the possibility of overly-long cmd lines.

Provide a new MCA param that allows the user to direct that we abort the job once a process exits with non-zero status. No recovery is allowed in such cases to avoid trying to restart a process that has already exited MPI.
This commit was SVN r24614.
Cleanup the heartbeat handling so it is associated with the proc, not a node.
Cleanup handling of recovery options so that defaults do not override user values iff they are provided.

orte_local_chip_type and orte_local_chip_model in MPI processes it the
appropriate sysinfo module found the values on the machine.

* Fix a configure warning for checking --enable-ft-thread
* In hnp and orted ErrMgr components check to see if other components have already recovered this process before trying to recover it again.
* Fix 'npernode' for restarting using the resilient rmaps component
* export ompi_info_set, so that internal functionality can use it.

Since the MPIR symbols are now included in the ORTE library, remove duplicate declarations in OMPI and replace them with extern references to their ORTE instantiations.
This commit was SVN r23360.
Add new mca params to test:
orte_debugger_test_daemon: Name of the executable to be used to simulate a debugger colaunch
orte_debugger_test_attach: Test debugger colaunch after debugger attachment
To test co-launch at job start, just set the orte_debugger_test_daemon param.
To test co-launch upon attach:
set orte_debugger_test_daemon
set orte_debugger_test_attach=1
set orte_enable_debug_cospawn_while_running=1
set orte_debugger_check_rate=<N> - defines the number of seconds to wait before "checking" for a debugger attaching
Added a "debugger" program to orte/test/mpi that just spins to simulate a debugger daemon.
This commit was SVN r23144.
1. orte_enable_recovery - default recovery policy, can be overridden on a per-job basis
2. orte_max_local_restarts - default max number of local restarts, can be overridden
3. orte_max_global_restarts - default max number of relocates, can be overridden
Implement the restart_proc API for the ODLS framework, reorganize the default fns a little to avoid copying code.

1. default -npersocket to force -bind-to-socket
2. if we cannot get a value for cores/socket, try using #logical cpus. otherwise, default to 1 core
3. add missing error message for not-enough-processors
4. since we no longer loop through orte_register_params twice, put the auto-detect of
topology info in the rte_init for hnp and std_orted
5. fix bind-to-core, bysocket combination
This commit was SVN r21992.
The new options work by adding an ":if-avail" qualifier to the "bind-to-socket" and "bind-to-core" MCA params. If the system does not support this capability, the job will launch anyway. Without the qualifier, the job will abort with an error message indicating that the required functionality is not supported on this system.

1. finalize the logic for properly respecting externally assigned bindings. Thanks to Chris Samuel for his help with this. Still needs some acid testing, but appears to now work.
2. remove the double-logic of requiring opal_paffinity_alone AND bind-to-foo. If the user specifies bind-to-foo, trust her and just do it.

Add a capability to parse the rankfile to extract node information in place of requiring both hostfile and rankfile for non-RM managed environments. The rankfile is -only- parsed for this IF the hostfile and -host options are not given. Otherwise, those are used to establish allocation info as we did before this commit.
This commit was SVN r21815.
Adds several new mpirun options:
* -bysocket - assign ranks on a node by socket. Effectively load balances the procs assigned to a node across the available sockets. Note that ranks can still be bound to a specific core within the socket, or to the entire socket - the mapping is independent of the binding.
* -bind-to-socket - bind each rank to all the cores on the socket to which they are assigned.
* -bind-to-core - currently the default behavior (maintained from prior default)
* -npersocket N - launch N procs for every socket on a node. Note that this implies we know how many sockets are on a node. Mpirun will determine its local values. These can be overridden by provided values, either via MCA param or in a hostfile
Similar features/options are provided at the board level for multi-board nodes.
