implementation does (that is not quite adherant to the Fortran
standard). If a compiler allows this behavior, build the mpi_f08
wrapper. For example, ifort allows it, but Pathscale/EKOPath 5.0 is
stricter in its Fortran compliance and disallows it.
This test is temporary; the real fix is to make OMPI adhere to Fortran
properly (i.e., see #4157). Once we fix#4157, this test should be
removed. The main reason for committing this test is to put it into
v1.7.4 so that we can release, but with the intent to remove it by
1.7.5 (or 1.8.x at the latest!).

Each Fortran bindings layer builds on the other. Specifically:
* You can build just mpif.h support
* You can build mpif.h and "use mpi" support
* You can build mpif.h and "use mpi" and "use mpi_f08" support
You cannot build mpif.h and "use mpi_f08" support without also
building "use mpi" support.
This new functionality adds new capabilities to the existing
--enable-fortran-mpi switch. You can now pass the following values:
* --enable-fortran-mpi=no or none: synonyms for --disable-fortran-mpi
(i.e., build no Fortran bindings).
* --enable-fortran-mpi=mpifh: build only mpif.h support
* --enable-fortran-mpi=usempi: build mpif.h and "use mpi" support
* --enable-fortran-mpi=usempif08: build mpif.h, "use mpi", and "use
mpi_f08" support
* --enable-fortran-mpi=yes or all: synonyms for --enable-fortran-mpi
(i.e., no argument), which will attempt to build all 3 Fortran
bindings

meeting, and RFCed in mid-December (#3424): we no longer build the MPI
C++ bindings by default.
The C++ bindings are still ''there'' -- starting with 1.9, we'll just
be providing a little encouragement to no longer use them.
There are no definite plans to ''remove'' the C++ bindings yet. At
the earliest, we would remove them in the next feature series after
1.9.

* Add new configure command line options and deprecate some old ones:
* --with-verbs replaces --with-openib
* --with-verbs-libdir replaces --with-openib-libdir
* If you specify --with-openib[-libdir] without
--with-verbs[-libdir], you'll get a "these options have been
deprecated!" warning, but then they'll act just like
--with-verbs[--libdir].
'''Sidenote:''' Note that we are not renaming any components at this
time, nor are we renaming the top-level OMPI_CHECK_OPENIB m4 macro
(which is pretty strongly tied to the openib BTL and is bastaridzed
by the ofud BTL). Note that there will likely be more changes in
this area coming soon (next week?) when some long-standing changes
move to the SVN trunk: some openib BTL infrastructure will move to
ompi/mca/common, and its configury gets split up / refactored.
We extend our philosophy of other --with-<foo> configure options of
--with-verbs to ''all'' verbs-lovin components:
* If you specify --with-verbs, then all verbs-lovin' components must
configure successfully (or abort). This currently means: OOB ud,
BTL ofud, BTL openib.
* If you specify --with-verbs=DIR, then all verbs-lovin' component
must configure successfully (or abort), and will use DIR to find
verbs headers and libraries.
* If you specify --without-verbs, then all verbs-lovin' components
will be ignored.
This commit also fixes a problem where the --with-openib=DIR form
would not use DIR for ''all'' verbs-lovin' components (I think only
BTL openib and BTL ofud used that DIR). Now all of them do, as does
hwloc (because hwloc has some !OpenFabrics helper functions that
require ibv types from verbs.h).
There's a little new m4 infrastructure worth mentioning:
* If you create a new verbs-lovin' component (i.e., a component that
need verbs), your configure.m4 should
AC_REQUIRE([OPAL_CHECK_VERBS_DIR]).
* You can then use three global shell variables: $opal_want_verbs,
$opal_verbs_dir, $opal_verbs_libdir, which will be set as follows:
* opal_want_verbs will be "yes" and opal_verbs_dir and
opal_verbs_libdir will both be set to directory values, '''OR'''
* opal_want_verbs will be "no" and opal_verbs_dir and
opal_verbs_libdir will both be set empty

1. New mpifort wrapper compiler: you can utilize mpif.h, use mpi, and use mpi_f08 through this one wrapper compiler
1. mpif77 and mpif90 still exist, but are sym links to mpifort and may be removed in a future release
1. The mpi module has been re-implemented and is significantly "mo' bettah"
1. The mpi_f08 module offers many, many improvements over mpif.h and the mpi module
This stuff is coming from a VERY long-lived mercurial branch (3 years!); it'll almost certainly take a few SVN commits and a bunch of testing before I get it correctly committed to the SVN trunk.
== More details ==
Craig Rasmussen and I have been working with the MPI-3 Fortran WG and Fortran J3 committees for a long, long time to make a prototype MPI-3 Fortran bindings implementation. We think we're at a stable enough state to bring this stuff back to the trunk, with the goal of including it in OMPI v1.7.
Special thanks go out to everyone who has been incredibly patient and helpful to us in this journey:
* Rolf Rabenseifner/HLRS (mastermind/genius behind the entire MPI-3 Fortran effort)
* The Fortran J3 committee
* Tobias Burnus/gfortran
* Tony !Goetz/Absoft
* Terry !Donte/Oracle
* ...and probably others whom I'm forgetting :-(
There's still opportunities for optimization in the mpi_f08 implementation, but by and large, it is as far along as it can be until Fortran compilers start implementing the new F08 dimension(..) syntax.
Note that gfortran is currently unsupported for the mpi_f08 module and the new mpi module. gfortran users will a) fall back to the same mpi module implementation that is in OMPI v1.5.x, and b) not get the new mpi_f08 module. The gfortran maintainers are actively working hard to add the necessary features to support both the new mpi_f08 module and the new mpi module implementations. This will take some time.
As mentioned above, ompi/mpi/f77 and ompi/mpi/f90 no longer exist. All the fortran bindings implementations have been collated under ompi/mpi/fortran; each implementation has its own subdirectory:
{{{
ompi/mpi/fortran/
base/ - glue code
mpif-h/ - what used to be ompi/mpi/f77
use-mpi-tkr/ - what used to be ompi/mpi/f90
use-mpi-ignore-tkr/ - new mpi module implementation
use-mpi-f08/ - new mpi_f08 module implementation
}}}
There's also a prototype 6-function-MPI implementation under use-mpi-f08-desc that emulates the new F08 dimension(..) syntax that isn't fully available in Fortran compilers yet. We did that to prove it to ourselves that it could be done once the compilers fully support it. This directory/implementation will likely eventually replace the use-mpi-f08 version.
Other things that were done:
* ompi_info grew a few new output fields to describe what level of Fortran support is included
* Existing Fortran examples in examples/ were renamed; new mpi_f08 examples were added
* The old Fortran MPI libraries were renamed:
* libmpi_f77 -> libmpi_mpifh
* libmpi_f90 -> libmpi_usempi
* The configury for Fortran was consolidated and significantly slimmed down. Note that the F77 env variable is now IGNORED for configure; you should only use FC. Example:
{{{
shell$ ./configure CC=icc CXX=icpc FC=ifort ...
}}}
All of this work was done in a Mercurial branch off the SVN trunk, and hosted at Bitbucket. This branch has got to be one of OMPI's longest-running branches. Its first commit was Tue Apr 07 23:01:46 2009 -0400 -- it's over 3 years old! :-) We think we've pulled in all relevant changes from the OMPI trunk (e.g., Fortran implementations of the new MPI-3 MPROBE stuff for mpif.h, use mpi, and use mpi_f08, and the recent Fujitsu Fortran patches).
I anticipate some instability when we bring this stuff into the trunk, simply because it touches a LOT of code in the MPI layer in the OMPI code base. We'll try our best to make it as pain-free as possible, but please bear with us when it is committed.

Worked with Oracle to verify that hwloc PCI detection is correctly
disabled on the Suse 10/64 bit platform and is enabled by default on
all other platforms. The --[en|dis]able-hwloc-pci switch is also

PCI support.

NOTE: mmap is still the default.
Some highlights:
o Silent component failover.
o The sysv component will only be queried for selection if it is placed before
the mmap component (for example, -mca mpi_common_sm sysv,posix,mmap). In the
default case, sysv will never be queried/selected.
o Per some on-list discussion, now unlinking mmaped file in both mmap and posix
components (see: "System V Shared Memory for Open MPI: Request for Community
Input and Testing" thread).
o Assuming local process homogeneity with respect to all utilized shared
memory facilities. That is, if one local process deems a particular shared
memory facility acceptable, then ALL local processes should be able to
utilize that facility. As it stands, this is an important point because one
process dictates to all other local processes which common sm component will
be selected based on its own, local run-time test.
o Addressed some of George's code reuse concerns.

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.

supports a wide variety of operating systems and platforms; see the
opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc/README file for details.
This component includes an embedded copy of hwloc, currently based on
hwloc-1.0rc6. But note that hwloc is properly SVN imported into the
/vendor branch, so it will be easy to update when 1.0 GA is released.
Note that the hwloc tree embedded in opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc is
identical to a hwloc distribution tarball, except that much of the
documentation was rm -rf'ed (because we don't need it for the embedded
case).
Since the paffinity framework currently does not understand hardware
threads, the hwloc component compensates for this by identifying cores
by the "first" hardware thread on that core. Hopefully we'll update
paffinity someday to understand hardware threads. :-)
configure grew a --with-hwloc option, analogous to what we do for many
other external libraries that OMPI supports. However, there's a new
feature: due to the request of several distros, OMPI can be configured
to build with its internal copy of hwloc or with an external copy of
hwloc (e.g., a system-installed hwloc).
1. If --with-hwloc is not specified, Open MPI will try to use its
internal copy (but silently fail/ignore hwloc if that fails).
1. If --with-hwloc=<dir> is supplied, Open MPI looks for hwloc
support in <dir> (and --with-hwloc-libdir=<dir>, if specified).
1. If --with-hwloc=external is supplied, Open MPI will look for hwloc
in a compiler/linker default external location.
1. If --with-hwloc=internal is supplied, Open MPI will use its
internal copy of hwloc.
Some of OMPI's main configury had to be slightly re-arranged in the
bootstrapping phase to accomodate hwloc's configry needs.

--enable-mpi-ext configure switch in the top-level README file).
See Josh's excellent wiki page about OMPI extensions:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/MPIExtensions
This extension exposes a new API to MPI applications:
{{{
int OMPI_Affinity_str(char ompi_bound[OMPI_AFFINITY_STRING_MAX],
char current_binding[OMPI_AFFINITY_STRING_MAX],
char exists[OMPI_AFFINITY_STRING_MAX]);
}}}
It returns 3 things. Each are a prettyprint string describing sets of
processors in terms of sockets and cores:
1. What Open MPI bound this process to. If Open MPI didn't bind this
process, the prettyprint string says so.
1. What this process is currently bound to. If the process is
unbound, the prettyprint string says so. This string is a
separate OUT parameter to detect the case where some other entity
bound the process (potentially after Open MPI bound it).
1. What processors are availabile in the system, mainly for reference.

Add --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default (and a synonym:
--enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default) to make orterun always behave as if
"--prefix $prefix" was given on the command line (where $prefix is the
value given to the --prefix option to configure). This prevents many
rsh/ssh users from needing to modify their shell startup files to set
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Open MPI (they will still need to set PATH or
otherwise find the OMPI executables to mpicc/mpirun/etc. their MPI
applications).
Also added --noprefix option to orterun to disable this behavior.
Finally, note that even if --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default is
specified, if the user specifies --prefix or /path/to/mpirun, these
options will override the default value of the prefix ($prefix).
