(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.

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.

It is okay to not have a paffinity module IF you aren't using paffinity anyway. So don't error out of MPI_Init because a paffinity module wasn't selected.
Cleanup error reporting in the odls default module to (once and for all!) eliminate messages originating in the fork'd process. Create some new error codes to allow us to pass enough info back to the parent process to provide useful error messages.
This commit was SVN r23106.
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.
This commit was SVN r23057.
Note that this isn't a problem since MPI_Abort and orte_abort are only called under controlled circumstances - i.e., we are doing an orderly abort and not segfaulting. If we can't get the message out for some reason, then too bad - we'll still see an abnormal process termination and act accordingly.
This commit was SVN r23045.
1. file activity - can monitor file size, access and modification times. If these fail to change over a specified number of sampling iterations (rate is an mca param), then the errmgr is notified.
2. memory usage - checks amount of memory used by a process. Limit and sampling rate can be set.
This support must be enabled by configuring --enable-sensors.
ompi_info and orte-info have been updated to include the new framework.
Also includes some initial steps toward restoring the recovery capability. Most notably, the ODLS API has been extended to include a "restart_proc" entry for restarting a local process, and organizes the various ERRMGR framework globals into a single struct as we do in the other ORTE frameworks. Fix an oversight in the ERRMGR framework where a pointer array was constructed, but not initialized.
Implementation continues.
This commit was SVN r23043.
* add hnp and orted modules to the errmgr framework. The HNP module contains much of the code that was in the errmgr base since that code could only be executed by the HNP anyway.
* update the odls to report process states directly into the active errmgr module, thus removing the need to send messages looped back into the odls cmd processor. Let the active errmgr module decide what to do at various states.
* remove the code to track application state progress from the plm_base_launch_support.c code. Update the plm modules to call the errmgr directly when a launch fails.
* update the plm_base_receive.c code to call the errmgr with state updates from remote daemons
* update the routed modules to reflect that process state is updated in the errmgr
* ensure that the orted's open the errmgr and select their appropriate module
* add new pretty-print utilities to print process and job state. Move the pretty-print of time info to a globally-accessible place
* define a global orte_comm function to send messages from orted's to the HNP so that others can overlay the standard RML methods, if desired.
* update the orterun help output to reflect that the "term w/o sync" error message can result from three, not two, scenarios

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.

Have orte call setpgrp after forking (but before exec) when

If a SIGTSTP arrives before the processes have been launched, then
record it and suspend them right after launching.

In CMake 2.6 and earlier, this function add dependencies for targets and also link the target libraries automatically, but in CMake 2.8,this behavior has been changed, i.e. it will only add the dependencies but no link, which will cause linking errors at compilation time.
This commit was SVN r22405.
Add orte configuration option to control the use of the framework in the system. Although the code will build, it will not be active unless configured with --enable-bootstrap.
If bootstrap is enabled and the new opal_sysinfo framework can successfully determine the cpu model, pass that info to the application as an MCA param to support some work at Sun.
Also, have daemons report back the resources they find to guide process mapping in bootstrap operations (i.e., where the daemon starts at node boot as opposed to being launched at application start).
Adjust some platform files to enable these capabilities.

The only sure way to kill the thing is with SIGKILL. After hours spent trying to debug this bizarre situation with a reliable reproducer, I finally tracked it down and fixed it.
Go figure...I sure can't.
This commit was SVN r22220.
Continue the reorganization of the configure system. Move files from the main config directory to their appropriate level-specific config directories. Modify the configure system to correctly handle compiler detection, test, and setup so that all things pertaining to opal and orte are done at the lower level, with the ompi configure system only looking at mpi-specific options.
Ensure the wrapper compilers for orte and ompi only get built when appropriate. Add support for c++ to the orte wrapper compilers, both script and non-script versions.
This commit was SVN r22138.
Wouldn't be so bad, except...the errmgr orders the termination of ALL procs, which kills any other job that should have been left alone.
Add a new proc and job state indicating "killed_by_cmd" so we can tell the difference between a proc/job that was deliberately terminated by us vs one that is killed by external signal.
This change was tested to ensure it didn't interfere with ctrl-c operation (it doesn't - we order termination of all jobs when we get a ctrl-c).
This commit was SVN r22100.
1. ensure that orte_rmaps_base_schedule_policy does not override cmd line settings
2. when you try to bind to more cores than we have, generate a not-enough-processors error message
3. allow npersocket -bind-to-core combination - because, yes, somebody actually wants to do it.
This commit was SVN r21996.
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.
This commit was SVN r21975.
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.
This commit was SVN r21885.
I have no machine which allows me to do external binding, so I will have to ask others to test the new logic. However, I did verify that these changes don't break the existing logic when no external bindings were present.
This commit was SVN r21842.
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.

Add a new tm ess module that exploits this capability.
Update the various plm modules to enable it - just a minor change reflecting an added param to a plm base function.
Additional fixes included:
1. remove an erroneous cleanup of session directories in the tool finalize procedure - tools don't create session directories to begin with!
2. fix a duplicate free when attempting to execute a non-existent app
3. cleanup an typo in the comm utilities
4. fix comm_spawn - was perturbed by the changes in pack/unpack of orte_job_t to properly support orte-ps
Been tested on slurm and tm machines, using all tests in orte/test/mpi. May run into issue with command line length on large jobs due to inclusion of node info to support static ports - will fix this next with addition of regexp generator to compress that info.
This commit was SVN r21248.
1. replacing mpi_paffinity_alone with opal_paffinity_alone - for back-compatibility, I have aliased mpi_paffinity_alone to the new param name. This caus
es a mild abstraction break in the opal/mca/paffinity framework - per the devel discussion...live with it. :-) I also moved the ompi_xxx global variable
that tracked maffinity setup so it could be properly closed in MPI_Finalize to the opal/mca/maffinity framework to avoid an abstraction break.
2. Added code to the odls/default module to perform paffinity binding and maffinity init between process fork and exec. This has been tested on IU's odi
n cluster and works for both MPI and non-MPI apps.
3. Revise MPI_Init to detect if affinity has already been set, and to attempt to set it if not already done. I have *not* tested this as I haven't yet f
igured out a way to do so - I couldn't get slurm to perform cpu bindings, even though it supposedly does do so.
This has only been lightly tested and would definitely benefit from a wider range of evaluation...
This commit was SVN r21209.
This causes the orteds in the routing tree to remain alive until all termination "acks" from orteds below them have passed through. Thus, if we use static ports, we no longer require a direct orted-to-mpirun connection.
Also modify the binomial routed module so it conforms to what all the other routed modules do and have all messages pass along the routing tree instead of short-circuiting between orteds. This further reduces the number of ports being opened on backend nodes.

1. fix a race condition whereby a proc's output could trigger an event prior to the other outputs being setup, thus c ausing the IOF to declare the proc "terminated" too early. This was really rare, but could happen.
2. add a new "timestamp-output" option that timestamp's each line of output
3. add a new "output-filename" option that redirects each proc's output to a separate rank-named file.
4. add a new "xterm" option that redirects the output of the specified ranks to a separate xterm window.

SIGCONT to the a.outs. By default, they are not forwarded and
the behavior remains as it has always been. However, if one
runs with --mca orte_forward_job_control 1, then mpirun will
catch those two signals and forward them to the orteds which
will deliver them to the a.outs. We have had requests for
this feature.

If the --wdir option is given, check to see if the user provided a relative path. If so, convert it to an absolute path. This is needed to maintain consistent behavior across environements. Some environments automatically chdir to your current working directory when launching the remote orted, while others (e.g., ssh) don't. This levels the playing field and reduces user surprise.

Also, per chat with Jeff, modified the Makefile.am's of a few orte tools so that they were consistent in the way we generate the ompi-equivalent cmds.
This commit was SVN r20165.
Basically, the remaining problem turned out to be:
1. closing stdout/stderr during orte_finalize of mpirun
2. inadvertently setting up a write event on fd = -1
3. devising a scheme to more accurately track when the stdin write event was active vs closed so it only got released once
This passed prelim MTT testing by Jeff and Tim, but should soak for awhile before migrating to 1.3.

It is a small launch performance improvement as now we relay the launch cmd across to the next daemon before taking the time to launch our own local procs. Still, it does allow more parallel operations during the launch procedure.
This commit was SVN r20104.
1. a direct callback from waitpid - this set the waitpid_fired flag
2. a notify event callback from the IOF - this set the iof complete flag
3. a message via the daemon cmd processor from the proc "de-registering" the sync, thus indicating it was going through MPI_Finalize.
The problem is that these could overlap, with the first two allowing the orted to declare the proc complete before the daemon had responded to #3.
This change forces all three events to flow through the daemon cmd processor, thus ensuring an ordered handling. I'm not certain this will solve the problem, but will await further MTT reports to see. Unfortunately, the problem doesn't show up on any manual or script-based tests I have been able to run, even when I duplicate the exact cmd that fails under MTT.
This commit was SVN r20074.
1. coordination of job completion notification to include a requirement for both waitpid detection AND notification that all iof pipes have been closed by the app
2. change of all IOF read and write events to be non-persistent so they can properly be shutdown and restarted only when required
3. addition of a delay (currently set to 10ms) before restarting the stdin read event. This was required to ensure that the stdout, stderr, and stddiag read events had an opportunity to be serviced in scenarios where large files are attached to stdin.
This commit was SVN r20064.
This commit does that by ensuring that daemons retain knowledge of proc location for all procs in their job family. It required a minor change to the ESS API to allow the daemons to update their pidmaps as data was received. In addition, the routed modules have been updated to take advantage of the newly available info, and the encode/decode pidmap utilities have been updated to communicate the required info in the launch message.
This commit was SVN r20022.
1. modify the iof to track when a proc actually closes all of its open iof output pipes. When this occurs, notify the odls that the proc's iof is complete. This is done via a zero-time event so that we can step out of the read event before processing the notification.
2. in the odls, modify the waitpid callback so it only flags that it was called. Add a function to receive the iof-complete notification, and a function that checks for both iof complete and waitpid callback before declaring a proc fully terminated. This ensures that we read and deliver -all- of the IO prior to declaring the job complete.
Also modified the odls call to orte_iof.close (and the component's implementation) so it only closes stdin, leaving the other io channels alone. This fixes the other half of the known problem.
This should fix the ticket on this subject, but I'll wait to close it pending further testing in the trunk.
This commit was SVN r19991.
The problem was that we close the same fd twice, and that meantime the fd could have been reassigned
to some other file or socket.
This commit was SVN r19869.
1. remove direct routed module (hooray!)
2. add radix tree routed module (binomial remains default)
3. remove duplicate data storage - orteds were storing nidmap and pidmap data in odls, everyone else in ess
4. add ess APIs to update nidmap, add new pidmap - used only by orteds for MPI-2 support
5. modify code to eliminate multiple calls to orte_routed.update_route that recreated info already in ess pidmap. Add ess API to lookup that info instead. Modify routed modules to utilize that capability
6. setup new ability to shutdown orteds without sending back an "ack" message to mpirun - not utilized yet, will require some changes to plm terminate_orteds functions in managed environments (coming soon)
Initial tests indicating that fully routing comm via defined routing trees may not actually have a significant cost for operations like IB QP setup. More tests required to confirm.
This will require an autogen...

Without this patch, doing spawn in a loop ended up by exhausting all
available file descriptors pretty quickly. There were about 5 file
descriptors opened per spawned process. Now the number of file
descriptors managed by the process (orted or HNP)
is a lot smaller.
This commit was SVN r19864.
1. completely and cleanly separates responsibilities between the HNP, orted, and tool components.
2. removes all wireup messaging during launch and shutdown.
3. maintains flow control for stdin to avoid large-scale consumption of memory by orteds when large input files are forwarded. This is done using an xon/xoff protocol.
4. enables specification of stdin recipients on the mpirun cmd line. Allowed options include rank, "all", or "none". Default is rank 0.
5. creates a new MPI_Info key "ompi_stdin_target" that supports the above options for child jobs. Default is "none".
6. adds a new tool "orte-iof" that can connect to a running mpirun and display the output. Cmd line options allow selection of any combination of stdout, stderr, and stddiag. Default is stdout.
7. adds a new mpirun and orte-iof cmd line option "tag-output" that will tag each line of output with process name and stream ident. For example, "[1,0]<stdout>this is output"
This is not intended for the 1.3 release as it is a major change requiring considerable soak time.

Provide support for four MPIR extensions that allow specification of debugger daemon executable, argv for the debugger daemon, whether or not to forward debugger daemon IO, and whether or not debugger daemon will piggy-back on ORTE OOB network. Last is not yet implemented.
No change in behavior or operation occurs unless (a) the debugger specifically utilizes the extensions and, for co-locate while running, the user specifically enables the capability via an MCA param. Two of the MPIR extensions supported here are used in a widely-used debugger for a large-scale installation. The other two extensions are new and being utilized in prototype work by several debuggers for possible future release.

Cleanup the logic in the odls for when processes terminate. It turns out that we were only going through the kill_proc logic once instead of looping over all local children when we ordered a daemon to kill its local procs. This went unnoticed for some time as for most systems the local procs were terminated anyway when the daemon terminated due to the parent/child relationship.
Solaris is apparently different - the children are not automatically terminated when the parent dies. As a result, it acts as a detector for this bug.
Mucho thanks to Rolf V. for his help in debugging - and to IM for letting me follow his gdb progress in quasi real-time!

Short version: remove opal_paffinity_alone and restore
mpi_paffinity_alone. ORTE makes various information available for the
MPI layer to decide what it wants to do in terms of processor
affinity.
Details:
* remove opal_paffinity_alone MCA param; restore mpi_paffinity_alone
MCA param
* move opal_paffinity_slot_list param registration to paffinity base
* ompi_mpi_init() calls opal_paffinity_base_slot_list_set(); if that
succeeds use that. If no slot list was set, see if
mpi_paffinity_alone was set. If so, bind this process to its Node
Local Rank (NLR). The NLR is the ORTE-maintained slot ID; if you
COMM_SPAWN to a host in this ORTE universe that already has procs
on it, the NLR for the new job will start at N (not 0). So this is
slightly better than mpi_paffinity_alone in the v1.2 series.
* If a slot list is specified *and* mpi_paffinity_alone is set, we
display an error and abort.
* Remove calls from rmaps/rank_file component to register and lookup
opal_paffinity mca params.
* Remove code in orte/odls that set affinities - instead, have them
just pass a slot_list if it exists.
* Cleanup the orte/odls code that determined
oversubscribed/want_processor as these were just opposites of each
other.

Reminder to all: messages sent to procs in another job family (i.e., started by a different mpirun) are ALWAYS routed through the respective HNPs. As per the comments in orte/routed, this is REQUIRED to maintain connect/accept (where only the root proc on each side is capable of init'ing the routes), allow communication between mpirun's using different routing modules, and to minimize connections on tools such as ompi-server. It is all taken care of "under the covers" by the OOB to ensure that a route back to the sender is maintained, even when the different mpirun's are using different routed modules.
6. corrections in the orte/odls to ensure proper identification of daemons participating in a dynamic launch
7. corrections in build/nidmap to support update of an existing nidmap during dynamic launch
8. corrected implementation of the update_arch function in the ESS, along with consolidation of a number of ESS operations into base functions for easier maintenance. The ability to support info from multiple jobs was added, although we don't currently do so - this will come later to support further fault recovery strategies
9. minor updates to several functions to remove unnecessary and/or no longer used variables and envar's, add some debugging output, etc.
10. addition of a new macro ORTE_PROC_IS_DAEMON that resolves to true if the provided proc is a daemon
There is still more cleanup to be done for efficiency, but this at least works.
Tested on single-node Mac, multi-node SLURM via odin. Tests included connect/accept, publish/lookup/unpublish, comm_spawn, comm_spawn_multiple, and singleton comm_spawn.
Fixes ticket #1256
This commit was SVN r18804.
Some minor changes to help facilitate debugger support so that both mpirun and yod can operate with it. Still to be completed.
This commit was SVN r18664.
After much work by Jeff and myself, and quite a lot of discussion, it has become clear that we simply cannot resolve the infinite loops caused by RML-involved subsystems calling orte_output. The original rationale for the change to orte_output has also been reduced by shifting the output of XML-formatted vs human readable messages to an alternative approach.
I have globally replaced the orte_output/ORTE_OUTPUT calls in the code base, as well as the corresponding .h file name. I have test compiled and run this on the various environments within my reach, so hopefully this will prove minimally disruptive.
This commit was SVN r18619.
such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly
long.
= ORTE Job-Level Output Messages =
Add two new interfaces that should be used for all new code throughout
the ORTE and OMPI layers (we already make the search-and-replace on
the existing ORTE / OMPI layers):
* orte_output(): (and corresponding friends ORTE_OUTPUT,
orte_output_verbose, etc.) This function sends the output directly
to the HNP for processing as part of a job-specific output
channel. It supports all the same outputs as opal_output()
(syslog, file, stdout, stderr), but for stdout/stderr, the output
is sent to the HNP for processing and output. More on this below.
* orte_show_help(): This function is a drop-in-replacement for
opal_show_help(), with two differences in functionality:
1. the rendered text help message output is sent to the HNP for
display (rather than outputting directly into the process' stderr
stream)
1. the HNP detects duplicate help messages and does not display them
(so that you don't see the same error message N times, once from
each of your N MPI processes); instead, it counts "new" instances
of the help message and displays a message every ~5 seconds when
there are new ones ("I got X new copies of the help message...")
opal_show_help and opal_output still exist, but they only output in
the current process. The intent for the new orte_* functions is that
they can apply job-level intelligence to the output. As such, we
recommend that all new ORTE and OMPI code use the new orte_*
functions, not thei opal_* functions.
=== New code ===
For ORTE and OMPI programmers, here's what you need to do differently
in new code:
* Do not include opal/util/show_help.h or opal/util/output.h.
Instead, include orte/util/output.h (this one header file has
declarations for both the orte_output() series of functions and
orte_show_help()).
* Effectively s/opal_output/orte_output/gi throughout your code.
Note that orte_output_open() takes a slightly different argument
list (as a way to pass data to the filtering stream -- see below),
so you if explicitly call opal_output_open(), you'll need to
slightly adapt to the new signature of orte_output_open().
* Literally s/opal_show_help/orte_show_help/. The function signature
is identical.
=== Notes ===
* orte_output'ing to stream 0 will do similar to what
opal_output'ing did, so leaving a hard-coded "0" as the first
argument is safe.
* For systems that do not use ORTE's RML or the HNP, the effect of
orte_output_* and orte_show_help will be identical to their opal
counterparts (the additional information passed to
orte_output_open() will be lost!). Indeed, the orte_* functions
simply become trivial wrappers to their opal_* counterparts. Note
that we have not tested this; the code is simple but it is quite
possible that we mucked something up.
= Filter Framework =
Messages sent view the new orte_* functions described above and
messages output via the IOF on the HNP will now optionally be passed
through a new "filter" framework before being output to
stdout/stderr. The "filter" OPAL MCA framework is intended to allow
preprocessing to messages before they are sent to their final
destinations. The first component that was written in the filter
framework was to create an XML stream, segregating all the messages
into different XML tags, etc. This will allow 3rd party tools to read
the stdout/stderr from the HNP and be able to know exactly what each
text message is (e.g., a help message, another OMPI infrastructure
message, stdout from the user process, stderr from the user process,
etc.).
Filtering is not active by default. Filter components must be
specifically requested, such as:
{{{
$ mpirun --mca filter xml ...
}}}
There can only be one filter component active.
= New MCA Parameters =
The new functionality described above introduces two new MCA
parameters:
* '''orte_base_help_aggregate''': Defaults to 1 (true), meaning that
help messages will be aggregated, as described above. If set to 0,
all help messages will be displayed, even if they are duplicates
(i.e., the original behavior).
* '''orte_base_show_output_recursions''': An MCA parameter to help
debug one of the known issues, described below. It is likely that
this MCA parameter will disappear before v1.3 final.
= Known Issues =
* The XML filter component is not complete. The current output from
this component is preliminary and not real XML. A bit more work
needs to be done to configure.m4 search for an appropriate XML
library/link it in/use it at run time.
* There are possible recursion loops in the orte_output() and
orte_show_help() functions -- e.g., if RML send calls orte_output()
or orte_show_help(). We have some ideas how to fix these, but
figured that it was ok to commit before feature freeze with known
issues. The code currently contains sub-optimal workarounds so
that this will not be a problem, but it would be good to actually
solve the problem rather than have hackish workarounds before v1.3 final.

Make it all work with comm_spawn in the case of all procs on previously occupied nodes, some new procs on new nodes, and mixtures of the two.
Note: comm_spawn now works with both binomial and linear routed modules. There remains a problem of spawned procs not properly getting updated contact info for the parent proc when run in the direct routed mode...but that's for another day.

This commit was SVN r18019.
The bug was a race condition in the barrier operation that caused the barrier in MPI_Finalize to fail on very short programs.
Scalaiblity was improved by using the daemons to aggregate modex and barrier messages before sending them to the rank=0 proc. Improvement is proportional to ppn, of course, but there really wasn't a scaling problem at low ppn anyway. This modification also paves the way for better allgather operations since now all the data for each node is sitting at the daemon level, and the daemons are now aware that a collective operation on the OOB is underway (so they -can- participate in a collective of their own to support it).
Also added better diagnostics to map out the timing associated with MPI_Init - turned on by -mca orte_timing 1.
This commit was SVN r17988.
Only one place used the user name field - session_dir, when formulating the name of the top-level directory. Accordingly, the code for getting the user's id has been moved to the session_dir code.
This commit was SVN r17926.
Fix race conditions in abnormal terminations. We had done a first-cut at this in a prior commit. However, the window remained partially open due to the fact that the HNP has multiple paths leading to orte_finalize. Most of our frameworks don't care if they are finalized more than once, but one of them does, which meant we segfaulted if orte_finalize got called more than once. Besides, we really shouldn't be doing that anyway.
So we now introduce a set of atomic locks that prevent us from multiply calling abort, attempting to call orte_finalize, etc. My initial tests indicate this is working cleanly, but since it is a race condition issue, more testing will have to be done before we know for sure that this problem has been licked.
Also, some updates relevant to the tool comm library snuck in here. Since those also touched the orted code (as did the prior changes), I didn't want to attempt to separate them out - besides, they are coming in soon anyway. More on them later as that functionality approaches completion.

This commit was SVN r17748.
The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 1221 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1221
Basically, the method employed here is to have a recv create a zero-time timer event that causes the event library to execute a function that processes the message once the recv returns. Thus, any action taken as a result of processing the message occur outside of a recv.
Created two new macros to assist:
ORTE_MESSAGE_EVENT: creates the zero-time event, passing info in a new orte_message_event_t object
ORTE_PROGRESSED_WAIT: while waiting for specified conditions, just calls progress so messages can be recv'd.
Also fixed the failed_launch function as we no longer block in the orted callback function. Updated the error messages to reflect revision. No change in API to this function, but PLM "owners" may want to check their internal error messages to avoid duplication and excessive output.
This has been tested on Mac, TM, and SLURM.

Thanks to Hiep Bui Hoang for reporting this bug.
This commit was SVN r16433.
1. taking advantage of the fact that we no longer create the launch message via a GPR trigger. In earlier times, we had the GPR create the launch message based on a subscription. In that mode of operation, we could not guarantee the order in which the data was stored in the message - hence, we had no choice but to parse the message in a loop that checked each value against a list of possible "keys" until the corresponding value was found.
Now, however, we construct the message "by hand", so we know precisely what data is in each location in the message. Thus, we no longer need to send the character string "keys" for each data value any more. This represents a rather large savings in the message size - to give you an example, we typically would use a 30-char "key" for a 2-byte data value. As you can see, the overhead can become very large.
2. sending node-specific data only once. Again, because we used to construct the message via subscriptions that were done on a per-proc basis, the data for each node (e.g., the daemon's name, whether or not the node was oversubscribed) would be included in the data for each proc. Thus, the node-specific data was repeated for every proc.
Now that we construct the message "by hand", there is no reason to do this any more. Instead, we can insert the data for a specific node only once, and then provide the per-proc data for that node. We therefore not only save all that extra data in the message, but we also only need to parse the per-node data once.
The savings become significant at scale. Here is a comparison between the revised trunk and the trunk prior to this commit (all data was taken on odin, using openib, 64 nodes, unity message routing, tested with application consisting of mpi_init/mpi_barrier/mpi_finalize, all execution times given in seconds, all launch message sizes in bytes):
Per-node scaling, taken at 1ppn:
#nodes original trunk revised trunk
time size time size
1 0.10 819 0.09 564
2 0.14 1070 0.14 677
3 0.15 1321 0.14 790
4 0.15 1572 0.15 903
8 0.17 2576 0.20 1355
16 0.25 4584 0.21 2259
32 0.28 8600 0.27 4067
64 0.50 16632 0.39 7683
Per-proc scaling, taken at 64 nodes
ppn original trunk revised trunk
time size time size
1 0.50 16669 0.40 7720
2 0.55 32733 0.54 11048
3 0.87 48797 0.81 14376
4 1.0 64861 0.85 17704
Condensing those numbers, it appears we gained:
per-node message size: 251 bytes/node -> 113 bytes/node
per-proc message size: 251 bytes/proc -> 52 bytes/proc
per-job message size: 568 bytes/job -> 399 bytes/job
(job-specific data such as jobid, override oversubscribe flag, total #procs in job, total slots allocated)
The fact that the two pre-commit trunk numbers are the same confirms the fact that each proc was containing the node data as well. It isn't quite the 10x message reduction I had hoped to get, but it is significant and gives much better scaling.
Note that the timing info was, as usual, pretty chaotic - the numbers cited here were typical across several runs taken after the initial one to avoid NFS file positioning influences.
Also note that this commit removes the orte_process_info.vpid_start field and the handful of places that passed that useless value. By definition, all jobs start at vpid=0, so all we were doing is passing "0" around. In fact, many places simply hardwired it to "0" anyway rather than deal with it.
This commit was SVN r16428.
This patch also fixes a minor bug discovered along the way: we had "lost" the passing of the oversubscribed condition flag from the mapper to the orteds. Thus, we were not setting sched_yield correctly when in oversubscribed conditions (except when a hostfile was specified - different logic there because we treat the number of slots allocated on the node as "uncertain")
I did not modify the process component in this patch - I will send a proposed patch to the maintainers of that component so they can review it first.
This commit was SVN r16418.
The commit has been tested for C/R and Cray operations, and on Odin (SLURM, rsh) and RoadRunner (TM). I tried to update all environments, but obviously could not test them. I know that Windows needs some work, and have highlighted what is know to be needed in the odls process component.
This represents a lot of work by Brian, Tim P, Josh, and myself, with much advice from Jeff and others. For posterity, I have appended a copy of the email describing the work that was done:
As we have repeatedly noted, the modex operation in MPI_Init is the single greatest consumer of time during startup. To-date, we have executed that operation as an ORTE stage gate that held the process until a startup message containing all required modex (and OOB contact info - see #3 below) info could be sent to it. Each process would send its data to the HNP's registry, which assembled and sent the message when all processes had reported in.
In addition, ORTE had taken responsibility for monitoring process status as it progressed through a series of "stage gates". The process reported its status at each gate, and ORTE would then send a "release" message once all procs had reported in.
The incoming changes revamp these procedures in three ways:
1. eliminating the ORTE stage gate system and cleanly delineating responsibility between the OMPI and ORTE layers for MPI init/finalize. The modex stage gate (STG1) has been replaced by a collective operation in the modex itself that performs an allgather on the required modex info. The allgather is implemented using the orte_grpcomm framework since the BTL's are not active at that point. At the moment, the grpcomm framework only has a "basic" component analogous to OMPI's "basic" coll framework - I would recommend that the MPI team create additional, more advanced components to improve performance of this step.
The other stage gates have been replaced by orte_grpcomm barrier functions. We tried to use MPI barriers instead (since the BTL's are active at that point), but - as we discussed on the telecon - these are not currently true barriers so the job would hang when we fell through while messages were still in process. Note that the grpcomm barrier doesn't actually resolve that problem, but Brian has pointed out that we are unlikely to ever see it violated. Again, you might want to spend a little time on an advanced barrier algorithm as the one in "basic" is very simplistic.
Summarizing this change: ORTE no longer tracks process state nor has direct responsibility for synchronizing jobs. This is now done via collective operations within the MPI layer, albeit using ORTE collective communication services. I -strongly- urge the MPI team to implement advanced collective algorithms to improve the performance of this critical procedure.
2. reducing the volume of data exchanged during modex. Data in the modex consisted of the process name, the name of the node where that process is located (expressed as a string), plus a string representation of all contact info. The nodename was required in order for the modex to determine if the process was local or not - in addition, some people like to have it to print pretty error messages when a connection failed.
The size of this data has been reduced in three ways:
(a) reducing the size of the process name itself. The process name consisted of two 32-bit fields for the jobid and vpid. This is far larger than any current system, or system likely to exist in the near future, can support. Accordingly, the default size of these fields has been reduced to 16-bits, which means you can have 32k procs in each of 32k jobs. Since the daemons must have a vpid, and we require one daemon/node, this also restricts the default configuration to 32k nodes.
To support any future "mega-clusters", a configuration option --enable-jumbo-apps has been added. This option increases the jobid and vpid field sizes to 32-bits. Someday, if necessary, someone can add yet another option to increase them to 64-bits, I suppose.
(b) replacing the string nodename with an integer nodeid. Since we have one daemon/node, the nodeid corresponds to the local daemon's vpid. This replaces an often lengthy string with only 2 (or at most 4) bytes, a substantial reduction.
(c) when the mca param requesting that nodenames be sent to support pretty error messages, a second mca param is now used to request FQDN - otherwise, the domain name is stripped (by default) from the message to save space. If someone wants to combine those into a single param somehow (perhaps with an argument?), they are welcome to do so - I didn't want to alter what people are already using.
While these may seem like small savings, they actually amount to a significant impact when aggregated across the entire modex operation. Since every proc must receive the modex data regardless of the collective used to send it, just reducing the size of the process name removes nearly 400MBytes of communication from a 32k proc job (admittedly, much of this comm may occur in parallel). So it does add up pretty quickly.
3. routing RML messages to reduce connections. The default messaging system remains point-to-point - i.e., each proc opens a socket to every proc it communicates with and sends its messages directly. A new option uses the orteds as routers - i.e., each proc only opens a single socket to its local orted. All messages are sent from the proc to the orted, which forwards the message to the orted on the node where the intended recipient proc is located - that orted then forwards the message to its local proc (the recipient). This greatly reduces the connection storm we have encountered during startup.
It also has the benefit of removing the sharing of every proc's OOB contact with every other proc. The orted routing tables are populated during launch since every orted gets a map of where every proc is being placed. Each proc, therefore, only needs to know the contact info for its local daemon, which is passed in via the environment when the proc is fork/exec'd by the daemon. This alone removes ~50 bytes/process of communication that was in the current STG1 startup message - so for our 32k proc job, this saves us roughly 32k*50 = 1.6MBytes sent to 32k procs = 51GBytes of messaging.
Note that you can use the new routing method by specifying -mca routed tree - if you so desire. This mode will become the default at some point in the future.
There are a few minor additional changes in the commit that I'll just note in passing:
* propagation of command line mca params to the orteds - fixes ticket #1073. See note there for details.
* requiring of "finalize" prior to "exit" for MPI procs - fixes ticket #1144. See note there for details.
* cleanup of some stale header files

I tested this for many different filem operations and everything was working
fine. Let me know if you have any problems with this functionality.
Some Notes:
- opal-checkpoint now has a 'quiet' flag to keep it from being too verbose.
- FileM RSH component is fully non-blocking.
- FileM RSH component has incomming connection throttling since by default
ssh only allows 10 concurrent scp connections to any single host. This
default can be adjusted via an MCA parameter.
{{{-mca filem_rsh_max_incomming 10}}}
- There is an MCA parameter for max outgoing connections, but it is currently
not implemented. If someone needs it then it should not be hard to implement.
{{{-mca filem_rsh_max_outgoing 10}}}
- Changed the FileM request structure so that it is a bit more explicit and
flexible.
- Moved the 'preload-binary' and 'preload-files' functionality into odls/base
allowing for code reuse in the 'process' and 'default' ODLS components.
- Fixed a bug in the process name resolution which broke the 'preload-*'
functionality due to GPR table structure changes.
- The FileM RSH component might be able to see even more speedup from using a
thread pool to operate on the work_pool structures, but that is for future
work.
- Added a 'opal-show-help' file to ODLS Base

Cleanup ALL instances of output involving the printing of orte_process_name_t structures using the ORTE_NAME_ARGS macro so that the number of fields and type of data match. Replace those values with a new macro/function pair ORTE_NAME_PRINT that outputs a string (using the new thread safe data capability) so that any future changes to the printing of those structures can be accomplished with a change to a single point.
Note that I could not possibly find outputs that directly print the orte_process_name_t fields, but only dealt with those that used ORTE_NAME_ARGS. Hence, you may still have a few outputs that bark during compilation. Also, I could only verify those that fall within environments I can compile on, so other environments may yield some minor warnings.

The problem stemmed from no longer launching a local orted on the same node as mpirun. The orted would save and reuse the base environment. Mpirun didn't do that, and the odls was using the orted's globally saved environment (which wasn't being set).
This fix establishes a globally accessible base launch environment that both the orted and mpirun can utilize. Since we now use that, we don't need to pass it to the odls_launch_proc function, so remove that param from the API (and modify all components to handle the change).

Short description: major changes include -
1. singletons now fork/exec a local daemon to manage their operations.
2. the orte daemon code now resides in libopen-rte
3. daemons no longer use the orte triggering system during startup. Instead, they directly call back to their parent pls component to report ready to operate. A base function to count the callbacks has been provided.
I have modified all the pls components except xcpu and poe (don't understand either well enough to do it). Full functionality has been verified for rsh, SLURM, and TM systems. Compile has been verified for xgrid and gridengine.

The SnapC Full local Coordinator used this argument to attach to the job the

eventually allow the SnapC modules to attach to multiple jobs launched
on a single machine.
