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.

I am making a final decision to decide the behavior of what happens
when an MCA parameter is re-registered and changes types. In
developer builds (i.e., OPAL_ENABLE_DEBUG==1), a show_help message
will be displayed. In all builds, an error status will be returned.
Specifically, the logic looks like this:
{{{
if (detect_re-registration_with_type_change) {
#if OPAL_ENABLE_DEBUG
opal_show_help(...);
#endif
return OPAL_ERR_VALUE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS;
}
}}}
If someone would like to change this behavior, they are welcome to do
so. :-) I am committing this so that ''some'' action occurs (rather
than talking about the issue and then nothing happens).
This commit was SVN r25432.
handled properly when MCA parameters are re-registered and their types
change. Specifically, this case was broken:
1. Register an int MCA param with a non-zero default value
1. Re-register the same MCA param as a string with a NULL default value
The 2nd step would cause a segv because the first int default value
wasn't being reset properly. Here's sample code that shows the issue:
{{{
{
int ibogus;
char *sbogus;
opal_init(&argc, &argv);
mca_base_param_reg_int_name("type", "name", "help", false, false, 3, &ibogus);
printf("Ibogus: %d\n", ibogus);
mca_base_param_reg_string_name("type", "name", "help", false, false, NULL, &sbogus);
printf("Sbogus: %s\n", (NULL == sbogus) ? "NULL" : sbogus);
exit(0);
}
}}}
This commit fixes the problem from the sample code above as well as
the a similar issue for file-set MCA params and override values. It
also resets default values for MCA params initially registered as a
string but then re-registered as an int.
This commit was SVN r25392.
Use hwloc to obtain the cpuset for each process during mpi_init, and share that info in the modex. As it arrives, use a new opal_hwloc_base utility function to parse the value against the local proc's cpuset and determine where they overlap. Cache the value in the pmap object as it may be referenced multiple times.
Thus, the return value from orte_ess.proc_get_locality is a 16-bit bitmask that describes the resources being shared with you. This bitmask can be tested using the macros in opal/mca/paffinity/paffinity.h
Locality is available for all procs, whether launched via mpirun or directly with an external launcher such as slurm or aprun.

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,

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.

this automatically during hwloc_base_open() because, for reasons

launching many MPI processes simultaneously on a single machine, for
example).

* Use the above function in many BTLs (and the OOB TCP) to ensure
that <foo>_if_include and <foo>_if_exclude are not both specified
''by the user''.
* Re-arrange many of these BTLs to move their MCA registration code
into a separate component_register() function (vs. the

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.

that enabling "local_only" by default could cause excessive
by-NUMA-node paging and/or OOMs (rather than allowing memory
allocations to spill over to other NUMA nodes).
This brought home the very real-world example of people buying servers
with more processors/cores than they need, just to get more memory.
We wouldn't want Badness to occur in such scenarios by default.
Instead, let people turn on "only allow memory allocations on my local
NUMA node" if their application would benefit from it.

After a long period of development with many starts and stops, we
finally got this where we wanted it.
This commit introduces 2 new MCA params (note that the
"maffinity_libnuma_policy" MCA param introduced by r24290 was removed
when libnuma support was removed). Remember that maffinity policies
are only in effect when paffinity is enaabled -- i.e., when processes
are bound to processors!
* '''maffinity_base_alloc_policy:''' Policy that determines how
general memory allocations are bound after MPI_INIT. A value of
"none" means that no memory policy is applied. A value of
"local_only" means that all memory allocations will be restricted
to the local NUMA node where each process is placed. Note that
operating system paging policies are unaffected by this setting.
For example, if "local_only" is used and local NUMA node memory is
exhausted, a new memory allocation may cause paging.
* '''maffinity_base_bind_failure_action:''' What Open MPI will do if
it explicitly tries to bind memory to a specific NUMA location, and
fails. Note that this is a different case than the general
allocation policy described by maffinity_base_alloc_policy. A
value of "warn" means that Open MPI will warn the first time this
happens, but allow the job to continue (possibly with degraded
performance). A value of "error" means that Open MPI will abort
the job if this happens.

hwloc isn't able to find cores on all platforms. Example: PPC64

However, note that hwloc_get_obj_by_type() will return NULL in 2
(effectively) different cases:
- no objects of the requested type were found
- the Nth object of the requested type was not found
So first we have to see if we can find *any* cores by looking for the

try to find the Nth PU.

* Convert from AC_TRY_RUN to AC_RUN_IFELSE.
* Excellent suggestion from Paul Hargrove: use AC_CHECK_FUNC to look
for a Linuxthreads-specific symbol when we're cross compiling to
see if threads will have different PIDs (because AC_CHECK_FUNC
works properly even when in cross-compiling environments).
Background: the old/Linuxthreads-based pthreads implementation used
the Linux clone() call to make threads, which effectively meant that
each thread had a different PID. The new NPTL pthreads implementation
does things better, meaning that threads have the same PID.
Open MPI no longer supports threads with different PIDs -- we ripped
out the supporting code for threads with different PIDs because we
don't have systems available to test this on anymore (anyone who still
has such a system can still use older versions of Open MPI). Hence,
configure needs to determine whether the target system will have the
same PID for threads or not -- even if we're cross-compiling. The
current test compiles and runs a multi-threaded app that checks PIDs
of different threads, but we clearly can't do that in a
cross-compiling environment. So use AC_CHECK_FUNC in cross-compiling
environments.
Simple, no?
This commit was SVN r24537.
There was no compelling reason to support such old kernels. Accordingly, convert the test to print a nice error message indicating we no longer support old kernels (but indicate that earlier OMPI versions do) and error out.

Temporarily remove hwloc's internal version of myriexpress.h. It is
causing a problem when compiling Open MPI with MX support because
hwloc uses AC_CONFIG_HEADER in hwloc's hwloc.m4 to generate
opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc/include/hwloc/config.h.
AC_CONFIG_HEADER apparently has the (undocumented) side effect of
adding -I$(top_builddir)/opal/mca/paffinity/hwloc/hwloc/include/hwloc
to OMPI's compilation flags. Hence, when the OMPI MX components are
compiled and #include "myriexpress.h" (or <myriexpress.h>) they see
hwloc's myriexpress.h before the system one. Badness ensures.
This removal is temporary because we need to figure out a better
solution. But for now, OMPI is not using hwloc's myriexpress.h file --
so it's safe to remove. I'll push this issue upstream to hwloc to
figure out a better solution...

The problem was that the restarted process was waiting for the socket to the local daemon to finish establishing during the 'sync' operation. The core problem was that the daemon was sending a header of 36 bytes, but the restarted process only received 35 bytes of the message. So the restarted process became stuck waiting for the last byte to arrive.
After many hours of digging, I figured out that the event engine was using the same file descriptor for its evsig_cb functionality (to signal itself when a signal arrives). So when the daemon wrote in to the new fd the event engine was stealing the first byte (*shakes fist at event engine*) before the recv() could be posted.
The solution is to use the event_reinit() function on restart to re-establish the now-stale file descriptors in the event engine. This seems to have fixed the problem.
A few other minor things:
-------------------------
* Add a check to make sure the event engine is balanced in its init/finalize
* Add the opal_event_base_close() to the BLCR restart exec function (still not 100% sure it is needed, but there it is).

Add new MCA param: maffinity_libnuma_policy. Thanks to David
Singleton for the suggestion. Here's the help text about it:
{{{
MCA maffinity: parameter "maffinity_libnuma_policy" (current value:
<loose>, data source: default value)
Binding policy that determines what happens if memory
is unavailable on the local NUMA node. A value of
"strict" means that the memory allocation will fail;
a value of "loose" means that the memory allocation
will spill over to another NUMA node.
}}}
