1. no -np provided - put one proc/node across all allocated nodes
2. -np N provided, N > #nodes - we print a pretty error message and exit
3. -np N provided, N <= #nodes - put one proc/node across N nodes
I also added a new orte constant (ORTE_ERR_SILENT) that allows us to pass up the chain that an error was encountered, but NOT print ORTE_ERROR_LOG messages. This is intended to be used for cases where the error we encounter is NOT an orte error, but rather is one associated with incorrect user input (e.g., the preceding case 2). In such cases, there is no point in printing an ORTE_ERROR_LOG chain of messages as it isn't an orte error.

Modify the RMAPS framework so we eliminate communicating a map to a backend node when certain attributes are set. The proxy functions are now implemented in the base, and a check made for HNP/non-HNP operation made in the map_jobs function prior to execution.
This commit was SVN r12619.
Add placeholders for the new orte tools. These don't actually do anything yet - in fact, I have set the .ompi_ignore so that you won't compile them (I have set a .ompi_unignore for me). Please let me know if you encounter any trouble with this - the ompi_ignore's should protect everyone.

Accordingly, there are new APIs to the name service to support the ability to get a job's parent, root, immediate children, and all its descendants. In addition, the terminate_job, terminate_orted, and signal_job APIs for the PLS have been modified to accept attributes that define the extent of their actions. For example, doing a "terminate_job" with an attribute of ORTE_NS_INCLUDE_DESCENDANTS will terminate the given jobid AND all jobs that descended from it.
I have tested this capability on a MacBook under rsh, Odin under SLURM, and LANL's Flash (bproc). It worked successfully on non-MPI jobs (both simple and including a spawn), and MPI jobs (again, both simple and with a spawn).

Make it so if -np was not passed and -pernode was, we map bynode
This commit was SVN r12580.
The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 612 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/612
1. ORTE_RMAPS_DISPLAY_AT_LAUNCH: pretty-prints out the process map right before we launch so you can see where everyone is going. This is settable via the command line option "--display-map-at-launch"
2. ORTE_RMGR_STOP_AFTER_SETUP: just setup the job and then return from the spawn command.
3. ORTE_RMGR_STOP_AFTER_ALLOC: return from the rmgr.spawn call after allocating the job
4. ORTE_RMGR_STOP_AFTER_MAP: return from the rmgr.spawn call after mapping the job. This gives folks a chance to retrieve and graphically display the map, let the user edit it, and store the results. They can then call "launch" on their own and the system will use the revised map.
Enjoy! My personal favorite is the first one - helps with debugging.

Get the ordering right so that a singleton can start.
Protect the rmgr copy app_context function from NULL fields
Tell the mapper it is okay for there not to be a pre-existing mapping plan for a parent when dynamically spawning processes
This commit was SVN r12257.
- 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.
This commit was SVN r12232.
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 commit was SVN r12229.
- 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.
This commit was SVN r12202.
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.
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.

I have tested on rsh, slurm, bproc, and tm. Bproc continues to have a problem (will be asking for help there).
Gridengine compiles but I cannot test (believe it likely will run).
Poe and xgrid compile to the extent they can without the proper include files.

different macros, one for each project. Therefore, now we have OPAL_DECLSPEC,
ORTE_DECLSPEC and OMPI_DECLSPEC. Please use them based on the sub-project.
This commit was SVN r11270.
Other changes:
1. Remove the old xcpu components as they are not functional.
2. Fix a "bug" in orterun whereby we called dump_aborted_procs even when we normally terminated. There is still some kind of bug in this procedure, however, as we appear to be calling the orterun job_state_callback function every time a process terminates (instead of only once when they have all terminated). I'll continue digging into that one.
This will require an autogen/configure, I'm afraid.
This commit was SVN r11228.
Clean up the remainder of the size_t references in the runtime itself. Convert to orte_std_cntr_t wherever it makes sense (only avoid those places where the actual memory size is referenced).
Remove the obsolete oob barrier function (we actually obsoleted it a long time ago - just never bothered to clean it up).
I have done my best to go through all the components and catch everything, even if I couldn't test compile them since I wasn't on that type of system. Still, I cannot guarantee that problems won't show up when you test this on specific systems. Usually, these will just show as "warning: comparison between signed and unsigned" notes which are easily fixed (just change a size_t to orte_std_cntr_t).
In some places, people didn't use size_t, but instead used some other variant (e.g., I found several places with uint32_t). I tried to catch all of them, but...
Once we get all the instances caught and fixed, this should once and for all resolve many of the heterogeneity problems.
This commit was SVN r11204.
Update the help text to report errors when not following that rule.
Also updated the RMAPS help text to reflect the reorganization of some of the round-robin code into the base.
The new functionality has been tested under Mac OS-X and on Odin using an MPI program. Both byslot and bynode mapping have been checked and verified. Operational support for other systems needs to be verified - I respectfully request people's help in doing so.
