This commit adds support for project_framework_component_* parameter
matching. This is the first step in allowing the same framework name
in multiple projects. This change also bumps the MCA component version
to 2.1.0.
All master frameworks have been updated to use the new component
versioning macro. An mca.h has been added to each project to add a
project specific versioning macro of the form
PROJECT_MCA_VERSION_2_1_0.

WHAT: Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
server-to-server collectives
WHY: We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
requirements.
WHEN: Mon, Aug 25
WHERE: https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git
Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.
All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.
Accordingly, we have:
* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.
* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.
* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint
* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code
* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.
* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand
This commit was SVN r32570.
We have been getting several requests for new collectives that need to be inserted in various places of the MPI layer, all in support of either checkpoint/restart or various research efforts. Until now, this would require that the collective id's be generated at launch. which required modification
s to ORTE and other places. We chose not to make collectives reusable as the race conditions associated with resetting collective counters are daunti
ng.
This commit extends the collective system to allow self-generation of collective id's that the daemons need to support, thereby allowing developers to request any number of collectives for their work. There is one restriction: RTE collectives must occur at the process level - i.e., we don't curren
tly have a way of tagging the collective to a specific thread. From the comment in the code:
* In order to allow scalable
* generation of collective id's, they are formed as:
*
* top 32-bits are the jobid of the procs involved in
* the collective. For collectives across multiple jobs
* (e.g., in a connect_accept), the daemon jobid will
* be used as the id will be issued by mpirun. This
* won't cause problems because daemons don't use the
* collective_id
*
* bottom 32-bits are a rolling counter that recycles
* when the max is hit. The daemon will cleanup each
* collective upon completion, so this means a job can
* never have more than 2**32 collectives going on at
* a time. If someone needs more than that - they've got
* a problem.
*
* Note that this means (for now) that RTE-level collectives
* cannot be done by individual threads - they must be
* done at the overall process level. This is required as
* there is no guaranteed ordering for the collective id's,
* and all the participants must agree on the id of the
* collective they are executing. So if thread A on one
* process asks for a collective id before thread B does,
* but B asks before A on another process, the collectives will
* be mixed and not result in the expected behavior. We may
* find a way to relax this requirement in the future by
* adding a thread context id to the jobid field (maybe taking the
* lower 16-bits of that field).
This commit includes a test program (orte/test/mpi/coll_test.c) that cycles 100 times across barrier and modex collectives.

Revamp the opal database framework, including renaming it to "dstore" to reflect that it isn't a "database". Move the "db" framework to ORTE for now, soon to move to ORCM
This commit was SVN r31557.
Create a new required key in the OMPI layer for retrieving a "node id" from the database. ALL RTE'S MUST DEFINE THIS KEY. This allows us to compute locality in the MPI layer, which is necessary when we do things like intercomm_create.
cmr:v1.7.4:reviewer=rhc:subject=Cleanup handling of modex data
This commit was SVN r29274.
As a secondary cleanup, the HNP doesn't need to update its nidmap during an xcast as it already has an up-to-date picture of the situation. So just dump that data and move along.
This commit was SVN r27318.
Update all the orte ess components to remove their associated APIs for retrieving proc data. Update the grpcomm API to reflect transfer of set/get modex info to the db framework.
Note that this doesn't recreate the old GPR. This is strictly a local db storage that may (at some point) obtain any missing data from the local daemon as part of an async methodology. The framework allows us to experiment with such methods without perturbing the default one.
This commit was SVN r26678.
1. they modified the OMPI-ORTE interface, which is something I promised to avoid doing unless absolutely necessary, and
2. the framework ident is already in the component name key provided to the modex db. What is missing is the project ident, but as Jeff and I discussed last week, we really need to add that field to the component struct anyway to avoid multi-project collisions on framework names. That will be done over the next couple of weeks as a separate effort.

Restore enable-static-ports option by default - the Cray will have to disable it to get around their library issues, but that's just a warning problem as opposed to blocking the build.

Roll in the ORTE state machine. Remove last traces of opal_sos. Remove UTK epoch code.
Please see the various emails about the state machine change for details. I'll send something out later with more info on the new arch.

https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/ProcessPlacement
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.
This commit was SVN r25476.
Use hwloc to obtain the cpuset for each process during mpi_init, and share that info in the modex. As it arrives, use a new opal_hwloc_base utility function to parse the value against the local proc's cpuset and determine where they overlap. Cache the value in the pmap object as it may be referenced multiple times.
Thus, the return value from orte_ess.proc_get_locality is a 16-bit bitmask that describes the resources being shared with you. This bitmask can be tested using the macros in opal/mca/paffinity/paffinity.h
Locality is available for all procs, whether launched via mpirun or directly with an external launcher such as slurm or aprun.
This commit was SVN r25331.
Modify the orte configure options to specify --enable-multicast such that it directs components to build or not instead of littering the code base with #if's. Remove those #if's where they used to occur.
Add a new grpcomm "mcast" module to support multicast operations. Still some work required to properly perform daemon collectives for comm_spawn operations. New module only builds when --enable-multicast is provided, and when specifically selected.

- Delete unnecessary header files using
contrib/check_unnecessary_headers.sh after applying
patches, that include headers, being "lost" due to
inclusion in one of the now deleted headers...
In total 817 files are touched.
In ompi/mpi/c/ header files are moved up into the actual c-file,
where necessary (these are the only additional #include),
otherwise it is only deletions of #include (apart from the above
additions required due to notifier...)
- To get different MCAs (OpenIB, TM, ALPS), an earlier version was
successfully compiled (yesterday) on:
Linux locally using intel-11, gcc-4.3.2 and gcc-SVN + warnings enabled
Smoky cluster (x86-64 running Linux) using PGI-8.0.2 + warnings enabled
Lens cluster (x86-64 running Linux) using Pathscale-3.2 + warnings enabled
This commit was SVN r21096.
1. minor modification to include two new opal MCA params:
(a) opal_profile: outputs what components were selected by each framework
currently enabled for most, but not all, frameworks
(b) opal_profile_file: name of file that contains profile info required
for modex
2. introduction of two new tools:
(a) ompi-probe: MPI process that simply calls MPI_Init/Finalize with
opal_profile set. Also reports back the rml IP address for all
interfaces on the node
(b) ompi-profiler: uses ompi-probe to create the profile_file, also
reports out a summary of what framework components are actually
being used to help with configuration options
3. modification of the grpcomm basic component to utilize the
profile file in place of the modex where possible
4. modification of orterun so it properly sees opal mca params and
handles opal_profile correctly to ensure we don't get its profile
5. similar mod to orted as for orterun
6. addition of new test that calls orte_init followed by calls to
grpcomm.barrier
This is all completely benign unless actively selected. At the moment, it only supports modex-less launch for openib-based systems. Minor mod to the TCP btl would be required to enable it as well, if people are interested. Similarly, anyone interested in enabling other BTL's for modex-less operation should let me know and I'll give you the magic details.
This seems to significantly improve scalability provided the file can be locally located on the nodes. I'm looking at an alternative means of disseminating the info (perhaps in launch message) as an option for removing that constraint.
This commit was SVN r20098.
Update the ESS API so we can update the stored arch's should the modex include that info. Update ompi/proc to check/set the arch for remote procs, and add that function call to mpi_init right after the modex is done.
Setup to allow other grpcomm modules to decide whether or not to add the arch to the modex, and to detect if other entries have been made. If not, then the modex can just fall through. Begin setting up some logic in the "basic" module to handle different arch situations.
For now, default to the "bad" module so we will work in all situations, even though we may be sending around more info than we really require.
This fixes ticket #1340
