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.

* If something goes wrong during ompi_mpi_init, don't erroneously
report that it is illegal to invoke MPI_INIT* before MPI_INIT
* Aggregate help messages when possible when something goes wring
during ompi_mpi_init

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.

1. replacing mpi_paffinity_alone with opal_paffinity_alone - for back-compatibility, I have aliased mpi_paffinity_alone to the new param name. This caus
es a mild abstraction break in the opal/mca/paffinity framework - per the devel discussion...live with it. :-) I also moved the ompi_xxx global variable
that tracked maffinity setup so it could be properly closed in MPI_Finalize to the opal/mca/maffinity framework to avoid an abstraction break.
2. Added code to the odls/default module to perform paffinity binding and maffinity init between process fork and exec. This has been tested on IU's odi
n cluster and works for both MPI and non-MPI apps.
3. Revise MPI_Init to detect if affinity has already been set, and to attempt to set it if not already done. I have *not* tested this as I haven't yet f
igured out a way to do so - I couldn't get slurm to perform cpu bindings, even though it supposedly does do so.
This has only been lightly tested and would definitely benefit from a wider range of evaluation...

for the F90 type create functions to the requirements of MPI 2.1 standard.
Advice to implementors. An application may often repeat a call to
MPI_TYPE_CREATE_F90_xxxx with the same combination of (xxxx,p,r).
The application is not allowed to free the returned predefined, unnamed
datatype handles. To prevent the creation of a potentially huge amount of
handles, the MPI implementation should return the same datatype handle for
the same (REAL/COMPLEX/INTEGER,p,r) combination. Checking for the
combination (p,r) in the preceding call to MPI_TYPE_CREATE_F90_xxxx and
using a hash-table to find formerly generated handles should limit the
overhead of finding a previously generated datatype with same combination
of (xxxx,p,r). (End of advice to implementors.)

Ticket 1239 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1239
* use "warn_on_fork" instead of "do_not_warn_on_fork" -- i.e.,
use positive logic instead of negative logic
* ensure that pthread_atfork() is only called once
* amended the error message to include the hostname, PID, and
MPI_COMM_WORLD rank of the offender
* ensure that the warn_fork_cb() function is only defined if
HAVE_PTHREAD_H so that we don't get a compiler warning if it isn't
used

This is setup so that it only is issued once (as opposed to every time they do it), and goes through orte_show_help so the user doesn't get hammered by #procs copies of the warning. In addition, there is a new MCA param (can't have too many!) to shut the warning off altogether.
This closes ticket #1244

* 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
light because of the new MPI handle debugging stuff).
Fixes trac:1209.

* Don't need the 2 process case -- we'll send an extra message, but
at very little cost and less code is better.
* Use COMPLETE sends instead of STANDARD sends so that the connection
is fully established before we move on to the next connection. The
previous code was still causing minor connection flooding for huge
numbers of processes.
* mpi_preconnect_all now connects both OOB and MPI layers. There's
also mpi_preconnect_mpi and mpi_preconnect_oob should you want to
be more specific.
* Since we're only using the MCA parameters once at the beginning
of time, no need for global constants. Just do the quick param
lookup right before the parameter is needed. Save some of that
global variable space for the next guy.

r10877:
add warm up connection option.. of course this only warms up the first
eager btl but this should be adequate for now..
r10881:
Consulted with Galen and did a few things:
- Fix the algorithm to actually make the connections that we want
- Rename the MCA param to mpi_preconnect_all
- Cleanup the code a bit:
- move the logic to a separate .c file
- check return codes properly

API is still a bit unstable and may change.
- Add a primitive "first use" component that simply has each process
"touch" the pages that they want to use, thereby [hopefully] locking
them locally to a specific processor
- Add hooks in ompi_mpi_init to enable memory affinity when processor
affinity is used.
- Added hooks in ompi_mpi_finalize to shut down memory affinity when
it was initialized during ompi_mpi_init.
- Added right hooks in ompi_info to display maffinity components.
