If you want to look at our launch and MPI process startup times, you can do so with two MCA params:
OMPI_MCA_orte_timing: set it to anything non-zero and you will get the launch time for different steps in the job launch procedure. The degree of detail depends on the launch environment. rsh will provide you with the average, min, and max launch time for the daemons. SLURM block launches the daemon, so you only get the time to launch the daemons and the total time to launch the job. Ditto for bproc. TM looks more like rsh. Only those four environments are currently supported - anyone interested in extending this capability to other environs is welcome to do so. In all cases, you also get the time to setup the job for launch.
OMPI_MCA_ompi_timing: set it to anything non-zero and you will get the time for mpi_init to reach the compound registry command, the time to execute that command, the time to go from our stage1 barrier to the stage2 barrier, and the time to go from the stage2 barrier to the end of mpi_init. This will be output for each process, so you'll have to compile any statistics on your own. Note: if someone develops a nice parser to do so, it would be really appreciated if you could/would share!

packing a sockaddr_in, as there are some endianness and padding issues
with sending a sockaddr_in. Note that the sin_port and sin_addr are
already in network byte order, which is why we pack them as a byte
string.

Fix the persistent daemon problem where it was exiting when a job completed. Problem was that the persistent daemon would order the job daemons to exit. They would then send an 'ack' back to the persistent daemon - but the ack consisted of an echo of the "exit" command, which was recv'd by the wrong listener who treated it as a properly sent cmd....and exited.

- It is possible to leave a byslot/bynode routine and have cur_node_item be NULL, so check for that.
- After we do an allocation where the user has provided a map (i.e. with --host), cur_node_item is pointing into the map list, not the global list. Change it to point into the global list.

Also, I am no longer seeing any issue with the child job spawning its own daemons - this appears to be fixed. We still don't reuse the existing daemons, however, but that will come.

This patch will cause a problem for cnos, however, as there we want to specifically tell the backends to be "null". I'm working on that issue.

possible things contained in the conditional like other rules are (for
example, a SOURCES rule in a conditional automatically has its files
added to the dist rules, even if that conditional isn't tru when
make dist occurs). So the man files weren't in the tarball.
Put the EXTRA_DIST with the files explicitly listed outside any conditionals
so the man pages always end up in the tarball.

- Simplified the logic of the ras modules by moving the attribute handling into the base allocation function. This allows us to decide how to allocate based on the situation, and solves some of the allocation problems we were having with comm_spawn.
- moved the proxy component into the base. This was done because we always want to call the proxy functions if we are not on a HNP regardless of the attributes passed.
- Got rid of the hostfile component. What little logic was in it was moved into the base to deal with other circumstances. The hostfile information is currently being propagated into the registry by the RDS, so we just use what is already in the registry.
- renamed some slurm function so that they have the proper prefix. Not strictly necessary as they were static, but it makes debugging much easier.
- fixed a buglet in the round_robin rmaps where we would return an error when really no error occured.
I tried to make proper corrections to all the ras modules, but I cannot test all of them.

Update the mapper so it correctly points to the next node to be used if we are mapping by slots. As it was, if we had an app_context that used only one slot on a node, the next app_context would start on the next node - leaving a blank slot in-between.
This commit was SVN r12193.
- Only install opal{cc,c++} and orte{cc,c++} if configured with
--with-devel-headers. Right now, they are always installed, but
there are no header files installed for either project, so there's
really not much way for a user to actually compile an OPAL / ORTE
application.
- Drop support for opalCC and orteCC. It's a pain to setup all the
symlinks (indeed, they are currently done wrong for opalCC) and
there's no history like there is for mpiCC.
- Change what is currently opalcc.1 to opal_wrapper.1 and add some
macros that get sed'ed so that the man pages appear to be
customized for the given command.
- Install the wrapper data files even if we compiled with
--disable-binaries. This is for the use case of doing multi-lib
builds, where one word size will only have the library built, but
we need both set of wrapper data files to piece together to
activate the multi-lib support in the wrapper compilers.

Modify the mapper to better bookmark its stopping place each time, and to pick up the next time from there. This needs to be validated on a multi-node system.
Fix a major memory corruption problem in the registry put/get functions that was doing multiple free's. Not sure how valgrind missed this one, though it only occurred in specific circumstances (such as comm_spawn).
This commit was SVN r12179.
This change does a couple of things:
1. Since the USE_PARENT_ALLOC attribute is a directive about regarding allocation of resources to a job, it more properly should be an attribute of the RAS. Change the name to reflect that and move the attribute define to the ras_types.h file.
2. Add the attributes list to the RMAPS map_job interface. This provides us with the desired flexibility to dynamically specify directives for mapping. The system will - in the absence of any attribute-based directive - default to the values provided in the MCA parameters (either from environment or command-line interface).
This commit was SVN r12164.
In this implementation, we begin mapping on the first node that has at least one slot available as measured by the slots_inuse versus the soft limit. If none of the nodes meet that criterion, we just start at the beginning of the node list since we are oversubscribed anyway.
Note that we ignore this logic if the user specifies a mapping - then it's just "user beware".
The real root cause of the problem is that we don't adjust sched_yield as we add processes onto a node. Hence, the node becomes oversubscribed and performance goes into the toilet. What we REALLY need to do to solve the problem is:
(a) modify the PLS components so they reuse the existing daemons,
(b) create a way to tell a running process to adjust its sched_yield, and
(c) modify the ODLS components to update the sched_yield on a process per the new method
Until we do that, we will continue to have this problem - all this fix (and any subsequent one that focuses solely on the mapper) does is hopefully make it happen less often.
This commit was SVN r12145.
Fix the problem observed by multiple people that comm_spawned children were (once again) being mapped onto the same nodes as their parents. This was caused by going through the RAS a second time, thus overwriting the mapper's bookkeeping that told RMAPS where it had left off.
To solve this - and to continue moving forward on the ORTE development - we introduce the concept of attributes to control the behavior of the RM frameworks. I defined the attributes and a list of attributes as new ORTE data types to make it easier for people to pass them around (since they are now fundamental to the system, and therefore we will be packing and unpacking them frequently). Thus, all the functions to manipulate attributes can be implemented and debugged in one place.
I used those capabilities in two places:
1. Added an attribute list to the rmgr.spawn interface.
2. Added an attribute list to the ras.allocate interface. At the moment, the only attribute I modified the various RAS components to recognize is the USE_PARENT_ALLOCATION one (as defined in rmgr_types.h).
So the RAS components now know how to reuse an allocation. I have debugged this under rsh, but it now needs to be tested on a wider set of platforms.
