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().

zeroes);
if so, use it for bit-operations like opal_cube_dim and opal_hibit.
Implement two versions of power-of-two.
In case of opal_next_poweroftwo, this reduces the average execution
time from 83 cycles to 4 cycles (Intel Nehalem, icc, -O2, inlining,
measured rdtsc, with loop over 2^27 values).
Numbers for other functions are similar (but of course heavily depend
on the usage, e.g. opal_hibit() with a start of 4 does not save
much). The bsr instruction on AMD Opteron is also not as fast.
- Replace various places where the next power-of-two is computed.

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.

#define CACHE_LINE_SIZE to 128. This name has a conflict on NetBSD,
and it seems kinda odd to have a header file that ''only'' defines a
single value. Also, we'll soon be raising hwloc to be a first-class
item, so having this file around seemed kinda weird.
Therefore, I replaced CACHE_LINE_SIZE with opal_cache_line_size, an
int (in opal/runtime/opal_init.c and opal/runtime/opal.h) on the
rationale that we can fill this in at runtime with hwloc info (trunk
and v1.5/beyond, only). The only place we ''needed'' a compile-time
CACHE_LINE_SIZE was in the BTL SM (for struct padding), so I made a
new BTL_SM_ preprocessor macro with the old CACHE_LINE_SIZE value
(128). That use isn't suitable for run-time hwloc information,
anyway.

Configure Option:
--enable-sysv
MCA Parameter:
mpi_common_sm
mpi_common_sm accepts a comma delimited list of: [sysv],mmap (order
dependent). The first component that is successfully selected is used. For
example, -mca mpi_common_sm sysv,mmap will first try sysv. If sysv is not
successfully selected, then mmap will be used. mmap will be used if
mpi_common_sm is not provided.
Notes:
Please make certain that your system's shmmax limit, or equivalent, is larger
than mpool_sm_min_size. Otherwise, shmget may fail.

OMPI
and a language agnostic part in OPAL. The convertor is completely
moved into OPAL. This offers several benefits as described in RFC
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2009/07/6387.php
namely:
- Fewer basic types (int* and float* types, boolean and wchar
- Fixing naming scheme to ompi-nomenclature.
- Usability outside of the ompi-layer.
- Due to the fixed nature of simple opal types, their information is
completely
known at compile time and therefore constified
- With fewer datatypes (22), the actual sizes of bit-field types may be
reduced
from 64 to 32 bits, allowing reorganizing the opal_datatype
structure, eliminating holes and keeping data required in convertor
(upon send/recv) in one cacheline...
This has implications to the convertor-datastructure and other parts
of the code.
- Several performance tests have been run, the netpipe latency does not
change with
this patch on Linux/x86-64 on the smoky cluster.
- Extensive tests have been done to verify correctness (no new
regressions) using:
1. mpi_test_suite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and
ompi-ddt:
a. running both trunk and ompi-ddt resulted in no differences
(except for MPI_SHORT_INT and MPI_TYPE_MIX_LB_UB do now run
correctly).
b. with --enable-memchecker and running under valgrind (one buglet
when run with static found in test-suite, commited)
2. ibm testsuite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and ompi-ddt:
all passed (except for the dynamic/ tests failed!! as trunk/MTT)
3. compilation and usage of HDF5 tests on Jaguar using PGI and
PathScale compilers.
4. compilation and usage on Scicortex.
- Please note, that for the heterogeneous case, (-m32 compiled
binaries/ompi), neither
ompi-trunk, nor ompi-ddt branch would successfully launch.

- poll FIFO occasionally even if just sending messages
- retry pending sends more often
- just before trying a new send
- as part of mca_btl_sm_component_progress
Maintain two new mca_btl_sm_component variables, num_outstanding_frags
and num_pending_sends, to keep overhead low.
Drain only one message fragment from the FIFO per btl_sm_component_progress
call (rather than drain until empty, which in retrospect everyone considers
to have been a mistake).

shm_fifos values are only partially updated, and this leads to wrong values
for the offset. Moving the write barrier at the right place, plus forcing
some read barriers might help.

* The main thing done here is to convert from multiple FIFOs/queues per
receiver (each receiver has one FIFO for each sender) to a single FIFO/queue
per receiver (all senders sharing the same FIFO for a given receiver).
* This requires rewriting the FIFO support, so that
ompi/class/ompi_[circular_buffer_]fifo.h is no longer used and FIFO
support is instead in btl_sm.h.
* The number of FIFOs per receiver is actually an MCA tunable parameter,
but it appears that 1 or possibly 2 FIFOs (even for 112 local processes)
per receiver is sufficient.

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.

1. The send path get shorter. The BTL is allowed to return > 0 to specify that the
descriptor was pushed to the networks, and that the memory attached to it is
available again for the upper layer. The MCA_BTL_DES_SEND_ALWAYS_CALLBACK flag
can be used by the PML to force the BTL to always trigger the callback.
Unmodified BTL will continue to work as expected, as they will return OMPI_SUCCESS
which force the PML to have exactly the same behavior as before. Some BTLs have
been modified: self, sm, tcp, mx.
2. Add send immediate interface to BTL.
The idea is to have a mechanism of allowing the BTL to take advantage of
send optimizations such as the ability to deliver data "inline". Some
network APIs such as Portals allow data to be sent using a "thin" event
without packing data into a memory descriptor. This interface change
allows the BTL to use such capabilities and allows for other optimizations
in the future. All existing BTLs except for Portals and sm have this interface
set to NULL.

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.
This commit was SVN r18434.
- the registration array is now global instead of one by BTL.
- each framework have to declare the entries in the registration array reserved. Then
it have to define the internal way of sharing (or not) these entries between all
components. As an example, the PML will not share as there is only one active PML
at any moment, while the BTLs will have to. The tag is 8 bits long, the first 3
are reserved for the framework while the remaining 5 are use internally by each
framework.
- The registration function is optional. If a BTL do not provide such function,
nothing happens. However, in the case where such function is provided in the BTL
structure, it will be called by the BML, when a tag is registered.
Now, it's time for the second step... Converting OB1 from a switch based PML to an
active message one.
