and implementation. This has shown drastic performance benefit when
transferring Many files at roughly the same time.
I tested this for many different filem operations and everything was working
fine. Let me know if you have any problems with this functionality.
Some Notes:
- opal-checkpoint now has a 'quiet' flag to keep it from being too verbose.
- FileM RSH component is fully non-blocking.
- FileM RSH component has incomming connection throttling since by default
ssh only allows 10 concurrent scp connections to any single host. This
default can be adjusted via an MCA parameter.
{{{-mca filem_rsh_max_incomming 10}}}
- There is an MCA parameter for max outgoing connections, but it is currently
not implemented. If someone needs it then it should not be hard to implement.
{{{-mca filem_rsh_max_outgoing 10}}}
- Changed the FileM request structure so that it is a bit more explicit and
flexible.
- Moved the 'preload-binary' and 'preload-files' functionality into odls/base
allowing for code reuse in the 'process' and 'default' ODLS components.
- Fixed a bug in the process name resolution which broke the 'preload-*'
functionality due to GPR table structure changes.
- The FileM RSH component might be able to see even more speedup from using a
thread pool to operate on the work_pool structures, but that is for future
work.
- Added a 'opal-show-help' file to ODLS Base
