This change utilizes the new num_processors function. I also left the mods made to ompi_mpi_init and the bug fix for the default value of mpi_yield_when_idle. Note that the mods to mpi_init will not really take effect as the mca param will now *always* be set (either by user or odls). We will need those mods later, so no point in removing them now.
This commit was SVN r13519.
1. if the user has specified sched_yield, we simply do what we are told
2. if they didn't specify anything, try to get the number of processors on this node. Note that we already now get the number of local procs in our job that are sharing this node - that now comes in through the proc callback and is stored in the ompi_proc_t structures.
3. if we can get the number of processors, compare that to the number of local procs from my job that are sharing my node. If the number of local procs exceeds the number of processors, then set sched_yield to true. If not, then be a hog and set sched_yield to false
4. if we can't get the number of processors, default to conservative behavior and set sched_yield to true.
Note that I have not yet dealt with the need to dynamically adjust this setting as more processes are added via comm_spawn. So far, we are *only* looking within our own job. Given that we have now moved this logic to mpi_init (and away from the orteds), it isn't yet clear to me how a process will be informed about the number of procs in *other* jobs that are also sharing this node.
Something to continue to ponder.
This commit was SVN r13430.
1. add a "cancel_operation" API to the pls components that allows orterun to demand that an orted operation (e.g., terminate_job) be immediately cancelled and abandoned.
2. changes the pls orted commands from blocking to non-blocking. This allows us to interrupt those operations should an orted be non-responsive. The change also adds an orte_abort_timeout that limits how long orterun will automatically wait for the orteds to respond - if the terminate command, for example, doesn't see orted response within that time, then we printout an appropriate error message and just give up.
3. modifies orterun to allow multiple ctrl-c's to simply abort the program even if the orteds have not responded
4. does some cleanup on the orte-level mca params so that their implementation looks a lot more like that of ompi - makes it easier to maintain. This change also includes the definition of an orte_abort_timeout struct and associated MCA param (can't have too many!) so you can set the time after which orterun gives up on waiting for orteds to respond
This needs more testing before migrating to 1.2.
This commit was SVN r13304.
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.
1. Changed the RMGR and PLS APIs to add "signal_job" and "signal_proc" entry points. Only the "signal_job" entries are implemented - none of the components have implementations for "signal_proc" at this time. Thus, you can signal all of the procs in a job, but cannot currently signal only one specific proc.
2. Implemented those new API functions in all components except xgrid (Brian will do so very soon). Only the rsh/ssh and fork modules have been tested, however, and only under OS-X.
3. Added signal traps and callback functions for SIGUSR1/2 to orterun/mpirun that catch those signals and call the appropriate commands to propagate them out to all processes in the job.
4. Added a new test directory under the orte branch to (eventually) hold unit and system level tests for just the run-time. Since our test branch of the repository is under restricted access, people working on the RTE were continually developing their own system-level tests - thus making it hard to help diagnose problems. I have moved the more commonly-used functions here, and added one specifically for testing the SIGUSR1/2 functionality.
I will be contacting people directly to seek help with testing the changes on more environments. Other than compile issues, you should see absolutely no change in behavior on any of your systems - this additional functionality is transparent to anyone who does not issue a SIGUSR1/2 to mpirun.
