flags, and mca flags are kept seperate until the very end. The main configure
wrapper flags should now be modified by using the OPAL_WRAPPER_FLAGS_ADD
macro. MCA components should either let <framework>_<component>_{LIBS,LDFLAGS}
be copied over OR set <framework>_<component>_WRAPPER_EXTRA_{LIBS,LDFLAGS}.
The situations in which WRAPPER CPPFLAGS can be set by MCA components was
made very small to match the one use case where it makes sense.

additional functionality. Rationale (refs trac:3422):
* Normal MPI applications only ever use the MPI API. Hence, -lmpi is
sufficient (they'll never directly call ORTE or OPAL
functions). This is arguably the most common case.
* That being said, we do have some test programs (e.g., those in
orte/test/mpi) that call MPI functions but also call ORTE/OPAL
functions. I've also written the occasional MPI test program that
calls opal_output, for example (there even might be a few tests in
the IBM test suite that directly call ORTE/OPAL functions).
* Even though this is not a common case, these applications should
also compile/link with mpicc.
* So we should add a --openmpi:linkall option that will also link
in whatever is necessary to call ORTE/OPAL functions
* Yes, we could hard-code "-lopen-rte -lopen-pal" in Makefiles, but
we do reserve the right to change those library names and/or add
others someday, so it's better to abstract out the names and let
the wrapper supply whatever is necessary.
* ORTE programs, however, are different. They almost always call OPAL
functions (e.g., if they want to send a message, they must use the
OPAL DSS). As such, it seems like the ORTE programs should always
link in OPAL.
Therefore:
* Add undocumented --openmpi:linkall flag to the wrapper compilers.
See the comment in opal_wrapper.c for an explanation of what it
does. This flag is only intended for Open MPI developers -- not
end users. That's why it's undocumented.
* Update orte/test/mpi/Makefile.am to add --openmpi:linkall
* Make ortecc/ortec++'s wrapper data text files always explicitly
link in libopen-pal

1. Restore libopen-pal.la, libopen-rte.la, and libmpi.la to be
separate entities (i.e., don't have libopen-rte.la include
libopen-pal.la, and don't have libmpi.la include libopen-pal.la).
Yay!
1. Consequently, make the wrapper compilers look for flags indicating
that the user wants to compile statically (currently: -static,
!--static, -Bstatic, and "-Wl," in front of all of those). If it
is, follow a 6-way matrix for determinining which libraries to
list on the underlying command line.
1. To support that, add the name of a token static and dynamic
library to look for in each of the wrapper compiler data files.
1. Fix a long-standing typo in the opalcc wrapper data file.

It appears the problem was not with the command line parser but the rsh plm. I don't know why this problem was not occuring before the command line parser changes but it appears to be resolved now.

We ran into a case where the OMPI SVN trunk grew a new acceptable MCA
parameter value, but this new value was not accepted on the v1.6
branch (hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action -- on the trunk it accepts
the value "silent", but on the older v1.6 branch, it doesn't). If you
set "hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action=silent" in the default MCA
params file and then accidentally ran with the v1.6 branch, every OMPI
executable (including ompi_info) just failed because hwloc_base_open()
would say "hey, 'silent' is not a valid value for
hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action!". Kaboom.
The only problem is that it didn't give you any indication of where
this value was being set. Quite maddening, from a user perspective.
So we changed the ompi_info handles this case. If any framework open
function return OMPI_ERR_BAD_PARAM (either because its base MCA params
got a bad value or because one of its component register/open
functions return OMPI_ERR_BAD_PARAM), ompi_info will stop, print out
a warning that it received and error, and then dump out the parameters
that it has received so far in the framework that had a problem.
At a minimum, this will show the user the MCA param that had an error
(it's usually the last one), and ''where it was set from'' (so that
they can go fix it).
We updated ompi_info to check for O???_ERR_BAD_PARAM from each from
the framework opens. Also updated the doxygen docs in mca.h for this
O???_BAD_PARAM behavior. And we noticed that mca.h had MCA_SUCCESS
and MCA_ERR_??? codes. Why? I think we used them in exactly one
place in the code base (mca_base_components_open.c). So we deleted
those and just used the normal OPAL_* codes instead.
While we were doing this, we also cleaned up a little memory
management during ompi_info/orte-info/opal-info finalization.
Valgrind still reports a truckload of memory still in use at ompi_info
termination, but they mostly look to be components not freeing
memory/resources properly (and outside the scope of this fix).

For those nodes (and *only* those nodes) where the user does *not* specify a slot count, we will set the number of slots according to their direction: either to the number of cores, numas, sockets, or hwthreads. Otherwise, the slot count is set to 1.
Note that the default behavior remains unchanged: in the absence of any value for #slots, and in the absence of any directive to set #slots, we will set #slots=1.

we haven't configured Automake to handle Java (because current

* Remove paffinity, maffinity, and carto frameworks -- they've been
wholly replaced by hwloc.
* Move ompi_mpi_init() affinity-setting/checking code down to ORTE.
* Update sm, smcuda, wv, and openib components to no longer use carto.
Instead, use hwloc data. There are still optimizations possible in
the sm/smcuda BTLs (i.e., making multiple mpools). Also, the old
carto-based code found out how many NUMA nodes were ''available''
-- not how many were used ''in this job''. The new hwloc-using
code computes the same value -- it was not updated to calculate how
many NUMA nodes are used ''by this job.''
* Note that I cannot compile the smcuda and wv BTLs -- I ''think''
they're right, but they need to be verified by their owners.
* The openib component now does a bunch of stuff to figure out where
"near" OpenFabrics devices are. '''THIS IS A CHANGE IN DEFAULT
BEHAVIOR!!''' and still needs to be verified by OpenFabrics vendors
(I do not have a NUMA machine with an OpenFabrics device that is a
non-uniform distance from multiple different NUMA nodes).
* Completely rewrite the OMPI_Affinity_str() routine from the
"affinity" mpiext extension. This extension now understands
hyperthreads; the output format of it has changed a bit to reflect
this new information.
* Bunches of minor changes around the code base to update names/types
from maffinity/paffinity-based names to hwloc-based names.
* Add some helper functions into the hwloc base, mainly having to do
with the fact that we have the hwloc data reporting ''all''
topology information, but sometimes you really only want the
(online | available) data.

ompi_info: Error: option "--param" did not have enough parameters (2)

Remove the OMPI_PREFIX_ENV environmental variable as that was totally confusing as a way of setting a tmpdir base location.
This commit was SVN r25941.
Turns out, this isn't necessarily true. The Cray, for example, launches processes in a toroidal pattern, thus causing the daemons to wind up somewhere other than what we thought. Other environments (e.g., slurm) are also capable of such behavior, depending upon the default mapping algorithm they are told to use.
Resolve this problem by making the daemon-to-node assignment in the affected environments when the daemon calls back and tells us what node it is on. Order the nodes in the mapping list so they are in daemon-vpid order as opposed to the order in which they show in the allocation. For environments that don't exhibit this mapping behavior (e.g., rsh), this won't have any impact.
Also, clean up the vm launch procedure a little bit so it more closely aligns with the state machine implementation that is coming, and remove some lingering "slave" code.

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.

https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/ProcessPlacement
The wiki page is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to complete it over the next few days. I will provide updates on the devel list. As the wiki page states, the default and most commonly used options remain unchanged (except as noted below). New, esoteric and complex options have been added, but unless you are a true masochist, you are unlikely to use many of them beyond perhaps an initial curiosity-motivated experimentation.
In a nutshell, this commit revamps the map/rank/bind procedure to take into account topology info on the compute nodes. I have, for the most part, preserved the default behaviors, with three notable exceptions:
1. I have at long last bowed my head in submission to the system admin's of managed clusters. For years, they have complained about our default of allowing users to oversubscribe nodes - i.e., to run more processes on a node than allocated slots. Accordingly, I have modified the default behavior: if you are running off of hostfile/dash-host allocated nodes, then the default is to allow oversubscription. If you are running off of RM-allocated nodes, then the default is to NOT allow oversubscription. Flags to override these behaviors are provided, so this only affects the default behavior.
2. both cpus/rank and stride have been removed. The latter was demanded by those who didn't understand the purpose behind it - and I agreed as the users who requested it are no longer using it. The former was removed temporarily pending implementation.
3. vm launch is now the sole method for starting OMPI. It was just too darned hard to maintain multiple launch procedures - maybe someday, provided someone can demonstrate a reason to do so.
As Jeff stated, it is impossible to fully test a change of this size. I have tested it on Linux and Mac, covering all the default and simple options, singletons, and comm_spawn. That said, I'm sure others will find problems, so I'll be watching MTT results until this stabilizes.

ason to return the topology from every daemon. Borrow a page from the --hetero-apps page and let users indicate that the node topology differs by adding a --
hetero-nodes option to mpirun. If the option is set, then every daemon returns topology info. If not set, then only daemon vpid=1 returns it.
We always want one daemon to return the topology as the head node is often different from the compute nodes. Having one daemon return the compute node topolo
gy allows us to detect any such difference. All compute nodes are then set to the same topology.

It was agreed that opal_init_util had wound up being used in unintended ways, which raised the problem of getting reference counts to work right. However, fixing it would involve more pain than it was worth - and so long as the other layers are made to behave similarly, I have no preference either way.
Complete implementation will follow - for now, this just reverts the prior changes.

For some time, ORTE has had the ability to launch daemons on all nodes prior to launching an application. It has largely been used outside of the OMPI community, and so was never explicitly turned "on" inside OMPI releases. Nevertheless, the code has been there.
Allowing VM launches does not require ANY changes to existing PLM components. All that was required was to have orterun launch the daemons as a separate call to orte_plm.spawn -prior- to launching the applications. The rest of the VM support code resides in the rmaps framework:
(a) a check when asked to map a job to see if it is the daemon job, and
(b) a separate "setup_virtual_machine" mapper in the rmaps base that creates the required map so the PLM's will do the right thing.
In order to support those users who have no RM allocation but like to give the allocation in the form of a -host or -hostfile argument to their application, there is a little more code in orterun and the setup_virtual_machine mapper to capture information passed in that manner.
This has been tested with rsh and slurm environments, and, since there is nothing environment-specific in the implementation, should work in others as well - but needs to be proven.

(http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2011/01/15427.php), the
--tv (and friends) switches to mpirun would effectively munge the
orterun command line together and then split it apart again before
exec'ing the underlying debugger. We would therefore lose multi-token
argv[x] value and split them into multiple tokens. For example:
mpirun --tv -np 2 a.out "foo bar"
would get launched with "foo" and "bar" as separate arguments; not one
argument. This was due to the underlying code joining the argv into a
single string and then re-splitting it. This commit removed the argv
join; it now does the parsing and re-jigering of the argv by only
looking at each individual argv item; multi-word tokens like "foo bar"
will never be split into separate tokens.

It's not possible to combine two shared libraries on Windows, so we have to do it a bit different. First generate a small event static library by just linking the object files, and link it into other libraries that needs the libevent API.

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.

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.
