Obviously, people like bproc will have to get the app_num via another avenue...but that's a problem for another day. Several options are easily available.
This commit was SVN r12788.
1. implement and enable the non-described buffer operations. I will send out a more detailed explanation separately. However, this mode of operation (which is now the default) significantly reduces message size during startup. If you want the described buffers, set the mca param "-mca dss_describe_buffer 1".
2. revise the xcast system to support both linear and binomial tree broadcast methods. Since we are seeing scenarios where the binomiall tree can cause problems, I have made the linear method the default. To run with the binomial tree, set the mca param "-mca oob_xcast_mode binomial".
3. add some detailed timing reports to the xcast operation. These are enabled via "-mca oob_xcast_timing 1".
4. add some more unit tests for the dss and gpr (focused on support for the non-described buffer)

Ralph identified the problem, I tracked down ''where'' the fd was
being closed, and Brian figured out ''why'' (and the fix).
What was happening is that a remote process was closing its
stdout/stderr and therefore sending a 0-byte IOF message to mpirun.
mpirun, in turn, closed the iof endpoint associated with that stream
(i.e., stdout/stderr). IOF does this to handle the case where
mpirun's stdin is closed -- this therefore causes the stdin on all the
ORTE-started processes to have their stdin's closed as well.
So the workaround here is to check that if we get a 0-byte IOF message
on a sink (indicating a remote closure), and if that sink is the
special stdout or stderr stream, don't actually close anything in the
local process.

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 635 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/635
because they are in ORTE, not OMPI. Also, remove the ORTE_PROCESS_NAME macros
in iof base as they are duplicates of the ones that were in ns_types, which
meant that bad things happened if you changed what an orte_process_name_t
looked like.

We were burned again by the fact that the bproc state monitor creates entries on the node segment for *all* the nodes in the cluster when it is opened during orte_init. As a result, the bjs allocator was never being called, and the system merrily assumed that *all* nodes in the cluster had been allocated to it.
To fix this, I removed a test that had been inserted into the allocation procedure that checked for a non-zero node segment. This was an old artifact - the RAS components already know that they are not to overwrite any existing node segment entries (at least, bproc does - I will check the others. For now, I just want to save the bproc fix on this machine).

Modify the RMAPS framework so we eliminate communicating a map to a backend node when certain attributes are set. The proxy functions are now implemented in the base, and a check made for HNP/non-HNP operation made in the map_jobs function prior to execution.

Add placeholders for the new orte tools. These don't actually do anything yet - in fact, I have set the .ompi_ignore so that you won't compile them (I have set a .ompi_unignore for me). Please let me know if you encounter any trouble with this - the ompi_ignore's should protect everyone.

Note that Bproc won't support this operation, so we just ignore the --reuse-daemons directive.
I'm afraid I don't understand the POE and XGrid environments well enough to attempt the necessary modifications.
Also, please note that XGrid support has been broken on the trunk. I don't understand the code syntax well enough to make the required changes to that PLS component, so it won't compile at the moment. I'm hoping Brian has a few minutes to fix it after SC.
This commit was SVN r12614.
1. new functionality in the pls base to check for reusable daemons and launch upon them
2. an extension of the odls API to allow each odls component to build a notify message with the "correct" data in it for adding processes to the local daemon. This means that the odls now opens components on the HNP as well as on daemons - but that's the price of allowing so much flexibility. Only the default odls has this functionality enabled - the others just return NOT_IMPLEMENTED
3. addition of a new command line option "--reuse-daemons" to orterun. The default, for now, is to NOT reuse daemons. Once we have more time to test this capability, we may choose to reverse the default. For one thing, we probably want to investigate the tradeoffs in start time for comm_spawn'd processes that reuse daemons versus launch their own. On some systems, though, having another daemon show up can cause problems - so they may want to set the default as "reuse".
This is ONLY enabled for rsh launch, at the moment. The code needing to be added to each launcher is about three lines long, so I'll be doing that as I get access to machines I can test it on.
This commit was SVN r12608.
1. use non-blocking sends to transmit commands (this was actually done in a prior commit)
2. have an "ack" message sent back from the orted when it completes the command
The latter item is the new one here. With my prior commit, it was possible for the HNP to move on to other things before the orted had completed its command. This caused the HNP to occassionally exit before the orted, thus generating "lost connection" errors. With this change, we retain the parallel nature of the command communications, but still hold the HNP at that point until the orteds are done.
Best of both worlds.

Accordingly, there are new APIs to the name service to support the ability to get a job's parent, root, immediate children, and all its descendants. In addition, the terminate_job, terminate_orted, and signal_job APIs for the PLS have been modified to accept attributes that define the extent of their actions. For example, doing a "terminate_job" with an attribute of ORTE_NS_INCLUDE_DESCENDANTS will terminate the given jobid AND all jobs that descended from it.
I have tested this capability on a MacBook under rsh, Odin under SLURM, and LANL's Flash (bproc). It worked successfully on non-MPI jobs (both simple and including a spawn), and MPI jobs (again, both simple and with a spawn).

Add some debugger output to the ODLS default component.
Modify the orted command communication system so that it is done via non-blocking sends. This removes the linearity of the transmission and improves the response time.

Ticket 612 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/612
Add some debugging output to the ODLS default module, and the orted.
Remove the nodename data from the ODLS info report - that info is already stored in the registry by the RMAPS framework upon completing the mapping procedure.
Add another test program that does an ORTE-only dynamic spawn (gasp!). Looks just like comm_spawn - just no MPI involved.
Modify the ODLS to release the processor when we "kill" local procs in a more scalable fashion. It previously had a sleep in it that Jeff's prior commit removed. However, he introduced some Windows code into the non-Windows component (protected by "if"s, but unnecessary). This is a more general solution he proposed - included here so I could get things to compile properly.
This commit was SVN r12579.
1. Fix the "hang" condition when an application isn't found. It turned out that the ODLS had some difficulty with the process actually not having been started - hence, it never called the waitpid callback. As a result, the "terminated" trigger didn't fire, and so mpirun didn't wake up. With this change, the HNP's errmgr forces the issue by causing the trigger to fire itself when an abort condition occurs.
2. Shift the recording of the pid and the nodename from mpi_init to the orted launcher. This allows programs such as Eclipse PTP to get the pids even for non-MPI applications. In the case of bproc, the pls handles this chore since we don't use orteds in that system.
