* Remove unused #defines in mpi.h.in
* Add OMPI_PARAM_CHECK in mpi.h.in (so that we can check for it in tests)
* Clean up some comments in mpif-common.h
This commit was SVN r26347.
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.
This commit was SVN r26283.
This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.
Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.
This commit was SVN r23764.
MPI_INIT and start of MPI_FINALIZE.
* Clean up MPI Extensions build system to acknowledge that OMPI's the only
project with extensions, as well as remove some build artifacts necessary
for more general components.

Major Changes:
--------------
* Added C/R-enabled Debugging support.
Enabled with the --enable-crdebug flag. See the following website for more information:
http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/crdebug/
* Added Stable Storage (SStore) framework for checkpoint storage
* 'central' component does a direct to central storage save
* 'stage' component stages checkpoints to central storage while the application continues execution.
* 'stage' supports offline compression of checkpoints before moving (sstore_stage_compress)
* 'stage' supports local caching of checkpoints to improve automatic recovery (sstore_stage_caching)
* Added Compression (compress) framework to support
* Add two new ErrMgr recovery policies
* {{{crmig}}} C/R Process Migration
* {{{autor}}} C/R Automatic Recovery
* Added the {{{ompi-migrate}}} command line tool to support the {{{crmig}}} ErrMgr component
* Added CR MPI Ext functions (enable them with {{{--enable-mpi-ext=cr}}} configure option)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Checkpoint}}} (Fixes trac:2342)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Restart}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Migrate}}} (may need some more work for mapping rules)
* {{{OMPI_CR_INC_register_callback}}} (Fixes trac:2192)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_start}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_checkpoint}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_end}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_checkpoint_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_restart_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_continue_callback}}}
* The ErrMgr predicted_fault() interface has been changed to take an opal_list_t of ErrMgr defined types. This will allow us to better support a wider range of fault prediction services in the future.
* Add a progress meter to:
* FileM rsh (filem_rsh_process_meter)
* SnapC full (snapc_full_progress_meter)
* SStore stage (sstore_stage_progress_meter)
* Added 2 new command line options to ompi-restart
* --showme : Display the full command line that would have been exec'ed.
* --mpirun_opts : Command line options to pass directly to mpirun. (Fixes trac:2413)
* Deprecated some MCA params:
* crs_base_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_stage_local_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_shared deprecated, use sstore_stage_global_is_shared
* snapc_base_store_in_place deprecated, replaced with different components of SStore
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_ref deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_ref
* snapc_base_establish_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, never well supported
* snapc_full_skip_filem deprecated, use sstore_stage_skip_filem
Minor Changes:
--------------
* Fixes trac:1924 : {{{ompi-restart}}} now recognizes path prefixed checkpoint handles and does the right thing.
* Fixes trac:2097 : {{{ompi-info}}} should now report all available CRS components
* Fixes trac:2161 : Manual checkpoint movement. A user can 'mv' a checkpoint directory from the original location to another and still restart from it.
* Fixes trac:2208 : Honor various TMPDIR varaibles instead of forcing {{{/tmp}}}
* Move {{{ompi_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to {{{orte_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to be more flexible in where this should be set.
* opal_crs_base_metadata_write* functions have been moved to SStore to support a wider range of metadata handling functionality.
* Cleanup the CRS framework and components to work with the SStore framework.
* Cleanup the SnapC framework and components to work with the SStore framework (cleans up these code paths considerably).
* Add 'quiesce' hook to CRCP for a future enhancement.
* We now require a BLCR version that supports {{{cr_request_file()}}} or {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}} in order to make the code more maintainable. Note that {{{cr_request_file}}} has been deprecated since 0.7.0, so we prefer to use {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}}.
* Add optional application level INC callbacks (registered through the CR MPI Ext interface).
* Increase the {{{opal_cr_thread_sleep_wait}}} parameter to 1000 microseconds to make the C/R thread less aggressive.
* {{{opal-restart}}} now looks for cache directories before falling back on stable storage when asked.
* {{{opal-restart}}} also support local decompression before restarting
* {{{orte-checkpoint}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* {{{orte-restart}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* Remove the {{{orte-restart}}} preload option. This was removed since the user only needs to select the 'stage' component in order to support this functionality.
* Since the '-am' parameter is saved in the metadata, {{{ompi-restart}}} no longer hard codes {{{-am ft-enable-cr}}}.
* Fix {{{hnp}}} ErrMgr so that if a previous component in the stack has 'fixed' the problem, then it should be skipped.
* Make sure to decrement the number of 'num_local_procs' in the orted when one goes away.
* odls now checks the SStore framework to see if it needs to load any checkpoint files before launching (to support 'stage'). This separates the SStore logic from the --preload-[binary|files] options.
* Add unique IDs to the named pipes established between the orted and the app in SnapC. This is to better support migration and automatic recovery activities.
* Improve the checks for 'already checkpointing' error path.
* A a recovery output timer, to show how long it takes to restart a job
* Do a better job of cleaning up the old session directory on restart.
* Add a local module to the autor and crmig ErrMgr components. These small modules prevent the 'orted' component from attempting a local recovery (Which does not work for MPI apps at the moment)
* Add a fix for bounding the checkpointable region between MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.
