Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().
opal: update core and components to mca_base_var system
orte: update core and components to mca_base_var system
ompi: update core and components to mca_base_var system
This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.
This commit was SVN r28236.
Reasoning: The old behavior was a little confusing. mca_base_components_open does not open an output stream so it is a little unexpected that mca_base_components_close does. To add to this several frameworks (that don't use mca_base_components_close) failed to close their output in the framework close function and others closed their output a second time. This change is an improvement to the symantics of mca_base_components_open/close as they are now symetric in their functionality.
This commit was SVN r27570.
* Fix a typo introduced by the removal of the notifier framework
* Fix to flush the modex cached data correctly using the orte DB API.
This commit was SVN r26773.
Among other things, this patch deals with the following issues:
* fix ompi-checkpoint argument parsing
* ompi-restart -showme prints an extraneous "Restarted child with PID"
message. Move around the debug statement to avoid this.
* fixes for the state machine changes
This commit was SVN r26770.
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.
This commit was SVN r26242.
* Work around duplicate node names in the map. It should not happen normally, but if the rmaps component gets this wrong provide a work around. Ralph is working on a rmaps fix for this, so we will likely remove/comment out the fix later.
This commit was SVN r25572.
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.
This commit was SVN r25497.
To enable the epochs and the resilient orte code, use the configure flag:
--enable-resilient-orte
This will define both:
ORTE_ENABLE_EPOCH
ORTE_RESIL_ORTE
This commit was SVN r25093.
* Fix the checkpoint-restart-checkpoint case which would previous reject the checkpoint of the newly restarted process. By making sure to re-enable checkpointing once the application has fully restarted fixes this issue (make sure to set is_app_checkpointable to true on restart confirmation).
* In the case of an invalid checkpoint, do not try to access the SStore datastore as it will be using a dummy handler, and return NULL strings. mpirun was segfaulting in the error case because it was trying to convert the seq_num from a string to an integer.
* Make sure to initialize the timer event in the Automatic Recovery section of the HNP errmgr, per the libevent update. This caused a segfault when attempting to recover a failed process.
* If ompi-checkpoint loses connection to the HNP/mpirun the TCP socket will fail and call the ErrMgr update_state function. This commit adds a dummy function {{{orte_errmgr_base_update_state()}}} that will prevent the ompi-checkpoint command from segfaulting in this error scenario.
This commit was SVN r24306.
* Improve the FTB notifier to publish (C/R, process/communication failure) events to the FTB with the
OMPI jobid as the associated payload.
* Add notifier calls for C/R events and process status events in SnapC and ErrMgr components.
* Fix a bug where the SnapC states and process states collide before being thrown out over the notifier.
This commit was SVN r24251.
Note: the ompi_check_libfca.m4 file had to be modified to avoid it stomping on global CPPFLAGS and the like. The file was also relocated to the ompi/config directory as it pertains solely to an ompi-layer component.
Forgive the mid-day configure change, but I know Shiqing is working the windows issues and don't want to cause him unnecessary redo work.
This commit was SVN r23966.
Setup the event API to support multiple bases in preparation for splitting the OMPI and ORTE events. Holding here pending shared memory resolution.
This commit was SVN r23943.
This is a fairly intrusive change, but outside of the moving of opal/event to opal/mca/event, the only changes involved (a) changing all calls to opal_event functions to reflect the new framework instead, and (b) ensuring that all opal_event_t objects are properly constructed since they are now true opal_objects.
Note: Shiqing has just returned from vacation and has not yet had a chance to complete the Windows integration. Thus, this commit almost certainly breaks Windows support on the trunk. However, I want this to have a chance to soak for as long as possible before I become less available a week from today (going to be at a class for 5 days, and thus will only be sparingly available) so we can find and fix any problems.
Biggest change is moving the libevent code from opal/event to a new opal/mca/event framework. This was done to make it much easier to update libevent in the future. New versions can be inserted as a new component and tested in parallel with the current version until validated, then we can remove the earlier version if we so choose. This is a statically built framework ala installdirs, so only one component will build at a time. There is no selection logic - the sole compiled component simply loads its function pointers into the opal_event struct.
I have gone thru the code base and converted all the libevent calls I could find. However, I cannot compile nor test every environment. It is therefore quite likely that errors remain in the system. Please keep an eye open for two things:
1. compile-time errors: these will be obvious as calls to the old functions (e.g., opal_evtimer_new) must be replaced by the new framework APIs (e.g., opal_event.evtimer_new)
2. run-time errors: these will likely show up as segfaults due to missing constructors on opal_event_t objects. It appears that it became a typical practice for people to "init" an opal_event_t by simply using memset to zero it out. This will no longer work - you must either OBJ_NEW or OBJ_CONSTRUCT an opal_event_t. I tried to catch these cases, but may have missed some. Believe me, you'll know when you hit it.
There is also the issue of the new libevent "no recursion" behavior. As I described on a recent email, we will have to discuss this and figure out what, if anything, we need to do.
This commit was SVN r23925.
This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.
Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.
This commit was SVN r23764.
Here we tried to write out the session directory marker after we sync the directory, which happens early in the case of --stop.
Thanks to Ananda Mudar for noticing the bug.

* Add two new ErrMgr recovery policies
* {{{crmig}}} C/R Process Migration
* {{{autor}}} C/R Automatic Recovery
* Added the {{{ompi-migrate}}} command line tool to support the {{{crmig}}} ErrMgr component

* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_checkpoint_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_restart_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_continue_callback}}}
* The ErrMgr predicted_fault() interface has been changed to take an opal_list_t of ErrMgr defined types. This will allow us to better support a wider range of fault prediction services in the future.
* Add a progress meter to:
* FileM rsh (filem_rsh_process_meter)
* SnapC full (snapc_full_progress_meter)
* SStore stage (sstore_stage_progress_meter)
* Added 2 new command line options to ompi-restart
* --showme : Display the full command line that would have been exec'ed.
* --mpirun_opts : Command line options to pass directly to mpirun. (Fixes trac:2413)
* Deprecated some MCA params:
* crs_base_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_stage_local_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_shared deprecated, use sstore_stage_global_is_shared
* snapc_base_store_in_place deprecated, replaced with different components of SStore
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_ref deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_ref
* snapc_base_establish_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, never well supported
* snapc_full_skip_filem deprecated, use sstore_stage_skip_filem
Minor Changes:
--------------
* Fixes trac:1924 : {{{ompi-restart}}} now recognizes path prefixed checkpoint handles and does the right thing.
* Fixes trac:2097 : {{{ompi-info}}} should now report all available CRS components
* Fixes trac:2161 : Manual checkpoint movement. A user can 'mv' a checkpoint directory from the original location to another and still restart from it.
* Fixes trac:2208 : Honor various TMPDIR varaibles instead of forcing {{{/tmp}}}
* Move {{{ompi_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to {{{orte_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to be more flexible in where this should be set.
* opal_crs_base_metadata_write* functions have been moved to SStore to support a wider range of metadata handling functionality.
* Cleanup the CRS framework and components to work with the SStore framework.
* Cleanup the SnapC framework and components to work with the SStore framework (cleans up these code paths considerably).
* Add 'quiesce' hook to CRCP for a future enhancement.
* We now require a BLCR version that supports {{{cr_request_file()}}} or {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}} in order to make the code more maintainable. Note that {{{cr_request_file}}} has been deprecated since 0.7.0, so we prefer to use {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}}.
* Add optional application level INC callbacks (registered through the CR MPI Ext interface).
* Increase the {{{opal_cr_thread_sleep_wait}}} parameter to 1000 microseconds to make the C/R thread less aggressive.
* {{{opal-restart}}} now looks for cache directories before falling back on stable storage when asked.
* {{{opal-restart}}} also support local decompression before restarting
* {{{orte-checkpoint}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* {{{orte-restart}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* Remove the {{{orte-restart}}} preload option. This was removed since the user only needs to select the 'stage' component in order to support this functionality.
* Since the '-am' parameter is saved in the metadata, {{{ompi-restart}}} no longer hard codes {{{-am ft-enable-cr}}}.
* Fix {{{hnp}}} ErrMgr so that if a previous component in the stack has 'fixed' the problem, then it should be skipped.
* Make sure to decrement the number of 'num_local_procs' in the orted when one goes away.
* odls now checks the SStore framework to see if it needs to load any checkpoint files before launching (to support 'stage'). This separates the SStore logic from the --preload-[binary|files] options.
* Add unique IDs to the named pipes established between the orted and the app in SnapC. This is to better support migration and automatic recovery activities.
* Improve the checks for 'already checkpointing' error path.
* A a recovery output timer, to show how long it takes to restart a job
* Do a better job of cleaning up the old session directory on restart.
* Add a local module to the autor and crmig ErrMgr components. These small modules prevent the 'orted' component from attempting a local recovery (Which does not work for MPI apps at the moment)
* Add a fix for bounding the checkpointable region between MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.

(OMPI_ERR_* = OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE(ret)), since the return value could be a
SOS-encoded error. The OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE() takes in a SOS error and returns
back the native error code.
* Since OPAL_SUCCESS is preserved by SOS, also change all calls of the form
(OPAL_ERROR == ret) to (OPAL_SUCCESS != ret). We thus avoid having to
decode 'ret' to get the native error code.
This commit was SVN r23162.
Many of the OPAL_ENABLE_FT should be OPAL_ENABLE_FT_CR, so fix those.
The OPAL Layer INC should call opal_output on restart so that it can refresh the string it prints to reflect the current pid/hostname which may have changed.
This commit was SVN r22824.
Originally the patch was to improve the error message, but when digging into the code I found a subtle bug. If the daemon does not tell the HNP what CRS component it used, then the HNP tries to figure it out from the metadata (this is an uncommon case). The path the HNP used was not complete, so it was unable to find the metadata information. This patch fixes this by adding the 'snapshot_reference' to the 'snapshot_location' which completes the path for this search.

This commit looks larger than it really is since it includes a fair amount of code cleanup.
The SIGSTOP/SIGCONT+checkpointing work uses some of the functionality in r20391. Basic use case below (note that the checkpoint generated is useable as usual if the stopped application is terminated).

}}}
Other items in this commit are mostly cleanup that has been sitting off-trunk for too long:
* Add a new {{{opal_crs_base_ckpt_options_t}}} type that encapsulates the various options that could be passed to the CRS. Currently only TERM and STOP, but this makes adding others ''much'' easier.
* Eliminate ORTE_SNAPC_CKPT_STATE_PENDING_TERM, since it served a redundant purpose with the new options type.
* Lay some basic ground work for some future features.
This commit was SVN r21995.
The following SVN revision numbers were found above:
r20391 --> open-mpi/ompi@0704b98668
* Pass the sequence number of the checkpoint along with reference from the global to the local coordinator.
* 'orte-restart --apponly' now just generates the app context file, and does not run with it. This provides the user the ability to edit the file before launching.
* Add a OPAL_CRS_NONE state
* Split the INC into three distinct parts.
* Implement a restart mechanism for the 'none' component. If given a context it simply execvp()'s it.
This commit was SVN r21195.
* Add 'orte-checkpoint -l' option that lists all checkpoints currently available on the system.
* Add 'orte-restart -i' which prints information regarding the checkpoint targeted for restart.
* Add ability to extract the timing metadata.
* Fix show_help() in the orte-checkpoint and orte-restart tools. They should be using the opal versions instead of the orte versions (otherwise nothing is printed).
This commit was SVN r21194.
This patch contains the following items:
* Fix the flag passed to open() for the read side of the named pipe between the local and app coordinator. There is a race condition when using O_RDWR on a named pipe (not sure how that bug got in there in the first place).
* Adjust control in the C/R thread timing
* Clarify return code in BLCR component
* Allow the user to adjust the max wait time for the named pipes in the FileM local coordinator by using the MCA parameter "snapc_full_max_wait_time" (Default: 20 seconds)
* If the application terminates while there are active FileM operations, force mpirun to wait on these operations to complete.
* Allow the user to set the local copy command (Default: cp) via MCA parameter "filem_rsh_cp"
* Implement the ability to throttle the number of outgoing connections in FileM. At larger scales this type of explicit throttling helps prevent overwhelming the HNP machine. Default: 10, set via MCA parameter: {{{filem_rsh_max_outgoing}}}
This commit was SVN r21167.
The following SVN revision numbers were found above:
r21131 --> open-mpi/ompi@0deb009225
* Improved timing in SnapC Full Global Coordinator
* Improved scalability of the SnapC Full protocol
* Minor improvements to the error reporting mechanisms in SnapC and FileM
* Improved the memory usage of the metadata routines - now the owner of the data is more explicit.
* Added a FileM hint to indicate when files stored locally can be moved to/from a globally mounted file system using just the 'cp' command instead of the 'rcp/scp' command. Slightly improves performance, but not too drastically. Can be set using the following SnapC MCA parameter: {{{snapc_base_global_shared=1}}}
* Implement the ability to throttle the number of outgoing connections in FileM. At larger scales this type of explicit throttling helps prevent overwhelming the HNP machine. Default: 10, set via MCA parameter: {{{filem_rsh_max_outgoing}}}
* Add a few diagnostic/debugging features to SnapC and FileM.
