in the v1.2 series the cid's could never go above the max. allowed for a
particular pml. Because of that, pml_add_comm never checked for the cid, and
in fact pml_add_comm was called in comm_set, which is *before* we knew the
cid.
in the v1.3 series (and trunk) we check now the cid to detect overflow, and
because of that pml_add_comm has been moved *after* the cid allocation
routine, namely into the comm_activate routine.
in the v1.2 series, the comm_activate contained a synchronization step of the
old communicator in order to prevent incoming fragments on the new
communicator, with the main problem being that the allreduce in the
communicator allocation finished at different times on different processes,
and thus, this scenario could and did really occur.
in the v1.3 series, the comm_activate does not contain the synchronization
step anymore, since we introduced the new queue for fragments with unknown
cid. The problem is however, that whether a fragment is known or not is
decided by using ompi_comm_lookup(), which will return something useful as
soon as the cid allocation finished, even before pml_add_comm has been
called. So there is a small time gap where we will not post a message into
queue for unknown cid's, but we can also not look up the process structure
belonging to the rank in that comm ( that is in pml_ob1_match_recv_frag or
something like that).
The current fix reintroduces the synchronization step in comm_activate, and
ensures that no fragment can be received for a new communicator before the
synchronization occurs , and thus comm_nextcid() and pml_add_comm has been
called. It seems to be the safest and easiest way for now. Welcome back, v1.2.

different processes have requested different levels of thread support. This
verification is restricted to MPI_COMM_WORLD.
In case one ore more processes have requested support for MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE,
the cid selection algorithm will fall back to the original, thread safe
approach. Else, it uses the block-algorithm.
For dynamic communicators, we always fall back now to the original algorithm.
This has been tested for homogeneous and heterogeneous settings for
MCW. However, I could not test yet the dynamic comm scenario for technical
reasons, and that's why I don't close yet ticket 1949.

- modify the comm_activate step to take an additional argument, indicating
whether the new communicatio has to go through the collective selection
step. This is not required sometimes (e.g. when a process calls
MPI_COMM_SPLIT with color=MPI_UNDEFINED), and contributed significantly to
the exhaustion of cids.
- when freeing a communicator, check whether we can reuse the block of cids
assigned to that comm. This only works if the current front of the cid
assignment (cid_block_start) is right ater the block of cids assigned to this

What this patch do:
- it use the unexpected queue create by commit r19562 to dispatch the
unexpected message to the right communicator (once this communicator
is created and initialized).
- delay the PML comm_add until we have the context_id for the new communicator.
- only do the PML comm_add on processes that really belong to the new
communicator. Please read the lengthy comment in the source code for the
reason behind this.

Ticket 1236 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1236
The optimization that was introduced a year ago for saving a collective
synchronization step for certain communicator creation functions has to be
disabled for now. The bug has been exposed by the hierarch module, but could
appear as well for inter-communicator creations. The problem is, that within a
communicator creation step we invoke a comm_dup (for intercomm_create) or
other collective operations (in case of hierarch) before all processes have
been synchronized. This lead to the "Dropped message for non-existant
communicators" error. This commit disables the optimization without removing
it from the code base. In theory, it can be enabled again as soon as we have
the unexpected message queues for unknown cid's, which were required if I
remember right anyway for the multi-threaded scenarios and potentially for
fault tolerance.
Before moving the patch to 1.3 I would like to let it soak for a couple of
days on trunk. Please note, taht my 2nd comment on ticket #1408 was
semi-correct, since the order of activation of the communicator and quering
the collective module have already been changed earlier.

The issue is that the field mca_topo_base_comm_t->mtc_periods_or_edges
has a different length, depending on whether the communicator is a
graph or a cart. One of the comm dup functions always assumed that it
was the length required by graph comms, which could lead to badness in
some cases. This commit makes the legnth of that field on a comm dup
be the proper length and copies the data over appropriately.
I also changed the syntax of the ompi_comm_copy_topo() function to use

This commit was SVN r18664.
After much work by Jeff and myself, and quite a lot of discussion, it has become clear that we simply cannot resolve the infinite loops caused by RML-involved subsystems calling orte_output. The original rationale for the change to orte_output has also been reduced by shifting the output of XML-formatted vs human readable messages to an alternative approach.
I have globally replaced the orte_output/ORTE_OUTPUT calls in the code base, as well as the corresponding .h file name. I have test compiled and run this on the various environments within my reach, so hopefully this will prove minimally disruptive.

such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly
long.
= ORTE Job-Level Output Messages =
Add two new interfaces that should be used for all new code throughout
the ORTE and OMPI layers (we already make the search-and-replace on
the existing ORTE / OMPI layers):
* orte_output(): (and corresponding friends ORTE_OUTPUT,
orte_output_verbose, etc.) This function sends the output directly
to the HNP for processing as part of a job-specific output
channel. It supports all the same outputs as opal_output()
(syslog, file, stdout, stderr), but for stdout/stderr, the output
is sent to the HNP for processing and output. More on this below.
* orte_show_help(): This function is a drop-in-replacement for
opal_show_help(), with two differences in functionality:
1. the rendered text help message output is sent to the HNP for
display (rather than outputting directly into the process' stderr
stream)
1. the HNP detects duplicate help messages and does not display them
(so that you don't see the same error message N times, once from
each of your N MPI processes); instead, it counts "new" instances
of the help message and displays a message every ~5 seconds when
there are new ones ("I got X new copies of the help message...")
opal_show_help and opal_output still exist, but they only output in
the current process. The intent for the new orte_* functions is that
they can apply job-level intelligence to the output. As such, we
recommend that all new ORTE and OMPI code use the new orte_*
functions, not thei opal_* functions.
=== New code ===
For ORTE and OMPI programmers, here's what you need to do differently
in new code:
* Do not include opal/util/show_help.h or opal/util/output.h.
Instead, include orte/util/output.h (this one header file has
declarations for both the orte_output() series of functions and
orte_show_help()).
* Effectively s/opal_output/orte_output/gi throughout your code.
Note that orte_output_open() takes a slightly different argument
list (as a way to pass data to the filtering stream -- see below),
so you if explicitly call opal_output_open(), you'll need to
slightly adapt to the new signature of orte_output_open().
* Literally s/opal_show_help/orte_show_help/. The function signature
is identical.
=== Notes ===
* orte_output'ing to stream 0 will do similar to what
opal_output'ing did, so leaving a hard-coded "0" as the first
argument is safe.
* For systems that do not use ORTE's RML or the HNP, the effect of
orte_output_* and orte_show_help will be identical to their opal
counterparts (the additional information passed to
orte_output_open() will be lost!). Indeed, the orte_* functions
simply become trivial wrappers to their opal_* counterparts. Note
that we have not tested this; the code is simple but it is quite
possible that we mucked something up.
= Filter Framework =
Messages sent view the new orte_* functions described above and
messages output via the IOF on the HNP will now optionally be passed
through a new "filter" framework before being output to
stdout/stderr. The "filter" OPAL MCA framework is intended to allow
preprocessing to messages before they are sent to their final
destinations. The first component that was written in the filter
framework was to create an XML stream, segregating all the messages
into different XML tags, etc. This will allow 3rd party tools to read
the stdout/stderr from the HNP and be able to know exactly what each
text message is (e.g., a help message, another OMPI infrastructure
message, stdout from the user process, stderr from the user process,
etc.).
Filtering is not active by default. Filter components must be
specifically requested, such as:
{{{
$ mpirun --mca filter xml ...
}}}
There can only be one filter component active.
= New MCA Parameters =
The new functionality described above introduces two new MCA
parameters:
* '''orte_base_help_aggregate''': Defaults to 1 (true), meaning that
help messages will be aggregated, as described above. If set to 0,
all help messages will be displayed, even if they are duplicates
(i.e., the original behavior).
* '''orte_base_show_output_recursions''': An MCA parameter to help
debug one of the known issues, described below. It is likely that
this MCA parameter will disappear before v1.3 final.
= Known Issues =
* The XML filter component is not complete. The current output from
this component is preliminary and not real XML. A bit more work
needs to be done to configure.m4 search for an appropriate XML
library/link it in/use it at run time.
* There are possible recursion loops in the orte_output() and
orte_show_help() functions -- e.g., if RML send calls orte_output()
or orte_show_help(). We have some ideas how to fix these, but
figured that it was ok to commit before feature freeze with known
issues. The code currently contains sub-optimal workarounds so
that this will not be a problem, but it would be good to actually
solve the problem rather than have hackish workarounds before v1.3 final.
This commit was SVN r18434.
* New/improved bootstrapping technique for DLLs
* First cut of the MPI handle debugging interface. It is still
evolving, but the interface is getting more stable.
* Some minor bugs were fixed in the unity topo component (brought to

(sometimes after the merge with the ORTE branch), the opal_pointer_array

This commit was SVN r17007.
The commit has been tested for C/R and Cray operations, and on Odin (SLURM, rsh) and RoadRunner (TM). I tried to update all environments, but obviously could not test them. I know that Windows needs some work, and have highlighted what is know to be needed in the odls process component.
This represents a lot of work by Brian, Tim P, Josh, and myself, with much advice from Jeff and others. For posterity, I have appended a copy of the email describing the work that was done:
As we have repeatedly noted, the modex operation in MPI_Init is the single greatest consumer of time during startup. To-date, we have executed that operation as an ORTE stage gate that held the process until a startup message containing all required modex (and OOB contact info - see #3 below) info could be sent to it. Each process would send its data to the HNP's registry, which assembled and sent the message when all processes had reported in.
In addition, ORTE had taken responsibility for monitoring process status as it progressed through a series of "stage gates". The process reported its status at each gate, and ORTE would then send a "release" message once all procs had reported in.
The incoming changes revamp these procedures in three ways:
1. eliminating the ORTE stage gate system and cleanly delineating responsibility between the OMPI and ORTE layers for MPI init/finalize. The modex stage gate (STG1) has been replaced by a collective operation in the modex itself that performs an allgather on the required modex info. The allgather is implemented using the orte_grpcomm framework since the BTL's are not active at that point. At the moment, the grpcomm framework only has a "basic" component analogous to OMPI's "basic" coll framework - I would recommend that the MPI team create additional, more advanced components to improve performance of this step.
The other stage gates have been replaced by orte_grpcomm barrier functions. We tried to use MPI barriers instead (since the BTL's are active at that point), but - as we discussed on the telecon - these are not currently true barriers so the job would hang when we fell through while messages were still in process. Note that the grpcomm barrier doesn't actually resolve that problem, but Brian has pointed out that we are unlikely to ever see it violated. Again, you might want to spend a little time on an advanced barrier algorithm as the one in "basic" is very simplistic.
Summarizing this change: ORTE no longer tracks process state nor has direct responsibility for synchronizing jobs. This is now done via collective operations within the MPI layer, albeit using ORTE collective communication services. I -strongly- urge the MPI team to implement advanced collective algorithms to improve the performance of this critical procedure.
2. reducing the volume of data exchanged during modex. Data in the modex consisted of the process name, the name of the node where that process is located (expressed as a string), plus a string representation of all contact info. The nodename was required in order for the modex to determine if the process was local or not - in addition, some people like to have it to print pretty error messages when a connection failed.
The size of this data has been reduced in three ways:
(a) reducing the size of the process name itself. The process name consisted of two 32-bit fields for the jobid and vpid. This is far larger than any current system, or system likely to exist in the near future, can support. Accordingly, the default size of these fields has been reduced to 16-bits, which means you can have 32k procs in each of 32k jobs. Since the daemons must have a vpid, and we require one daemon/node, this also restricts the default configuration to 32k nodes.
To support any future "mega-clusters", a configuration option --enable-jumbo-apps has been added. This option increases the jobid and vpid field sizes to 32-bits. Someday, if necessary, someone can add yet another option to increase them to 64-bits, I suppose.
(b) replacing the string nodename with an integer nodeid. Since we have one daemon/node, the nodeid corresponds to the local daemon's vpid. This replaces an often lengthy string with only 2 (or at most 4) bytes, a substantial reduction.
(c) when the mca param requesting that nodenames be sent to support pretty error messages, a second mca param is now used to request FQDN - otherwise, the domain name is stripped (by default) from the message to save space. If someone wants to combine those into a single param somehow (perhaps with an argument?), they are welcome to do so - I didn't want to alter what people are already using.
While these may seem like small savings, they actually amount to a significant impact when aggregated across the entire modex operation. Since every proc must receive the modex data regardless of the collective used to send it, just reducing the size of the process name removes nearly 400MBytes of communication from a 32k proc job (admittedly, much of this comm may occur in parallel). So it does add up pretty quickly.
3. routing RML messages to reduce connections. The default messaging system remains point-to-point - i.e., each proc opens a socket to every proc it communicates with and sends its messages directly. A new option uses the orteds as routers - i.e., each proc only opens a single socket to its local orted. All messages are sent from the proc to the orted, which forwards the message to the orted on the node where the intended recipient proc is located - that orted then forwards the message to its local proc (the recipient). This greatly reduces the connection storm we have encountered during startup.
It also has the benefit of removing the sharing of every proc's OOB contact with every other proc. The orted routing tables are populated during launch since every orted gets a map of where every proc is being placed. Each proc, therefore, only needs to know the contact info for its local daemon, which is passed in via the environment when the proc is fork/exec'd by the daemon. This alone removes ~50 bytes/process of communication that was in the current STG1 startup message - so for our 32k proc job, this saves us roughly 32k*50 = 1.6MBytes sent to 32k procs = 51GBytes of messaging.
Note that you can use the new routing method by specifying -mca routed tree - if you so desire. This mode will become the default at some point in the future.
There are a few minor additional changes in the commit that I'll just note in passing:
* propagation of command line mca params to the orteds - fixes ticket #1073. See note there for details.
* requiring of "finalize" prior to "exit" for MPI procs - fixes ticket #1144. See note there for details.
* cleanup of some stale header files
