zeroes);
if so, use it for bit-operations like opal_cube_dim and opal_hibit.
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,
measured rdtsc, with loop over 2^27 values).
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.
- Replace various places where the next power-of-two is computed.
Tested on Intel Nehalem Cluster with openib, compilers GNU-4.6.1 and
Intel-12.0.4 using mpi_testsuite -t "Collective" with 128 processes.

OMPI
and a language agnostic part in OPAL. The convertor is completely
moved into OPAL. This offers several benefits as described in RFC
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2009/07/6387.php
namely:
- Fewer basic types (int* and float* types, boolean and wchar
- Fixing naming scheme to ompi-nomenclature.
- Usability outside of the ompi-layer.
- Due to the fixed nature of simple opal types, their information is
completely
known at compile time and therefore constified
- With fewer datatypes (22), the actual sizes of bit-field types may be
reduced
from 64 to 32 bits, allowing reorganizing the opal_datatype
structure, eliminating holes and keeping data required in convertor
(upon send/recv) in one cacheline...
This has implications to the convertor-datastructure and other parts
of the code.
- Several performance tests have been run, the netpipe latency does not
change with
this patch on Linux/x86-64 on the smoky cluster.
- Extensive tests have been done to verify correctness (no new
regressions) using:
1. mpi_test_suite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and
ompi-ddt:
a. running both trunk and ompi-ddt resulted in no differences
(except for MPI_SHORT_INT and MPI_TYPE_MIX_LB_UB do now run
correctly).
b. with --enable-memchecker and running under valgrind (one buglet
when run with static found in test-suite, commited)
2. ibm testsuite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and ompi-ddt:
all passed (except for the dynamic/ tests failed!! as trunk/MTT)
3. compilation and usage of HDF5 tests on Jaguar using PGI and
PathScale compilers.
4. compilation and usage on Scicortex.
- Please note, that for the heterogeneous case, (-m32 compiled
binaries/ompi), neither
ompi-trunk, nor ompi-ddt branch would successfully launch.

Ticket 1392 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1392
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.

Algorithm allows user to specify the segment size to be used for computation/communication overlap.
The additional memory requirement for the algorithm is 2 x segment size.
It performed well for (really) large message sizes over MX and it passed intel Allreduce_c and Allreduce_loc_c tests.
This commit was SVN r13832.
- the block sizes are computed in more uniformn way.
The first k blocks may be 1 element larger than the remaining blocks.
The algorithm passed Intel Allreduce_c and Allreduce_loc_c tests, and
IMB-3.2 Allreduce, over TCP and both btl and mtl MX (up to 128 processes).
The algorithm still only supports commutative operations.
This commit was SVN r13738.
The step used to iterate through buffer was function of true_extent instead of extent.
This may or may not solve ticket #689 because I am still getting failures over btl mx,
but I cannot reproduce failures over mtl mx nor tcp.
This commit was SVN r13459.
- Allreduce algorithms:
- Recursive doubling is used for small messages (up to 10KB) and can be used for
both commutative and non-commutative operations.
Recursive doubling passed OCC, IMB-3.2, Intel (Allreduce_c, Allreduce_loc_c, and
Allreduce_user_c), mpi_test_suite (Allreduce MIN/MAX, and Allreduce MIN/MAX with
MPI_IN_PLACE) tests on TCP up to 36 nodes and MX up to 64 nodes.
- Ring algorithms performs well for larger messages but cannot be used for
non-commutative operations. It passed the same tests as recursive doubling, except
some of the non-commutative tests in Intel benchmarks Allreduce_loc_c and Allreduce_user_c
(which was expected).
- MPI_Allreduce with new decision function passed all of the tests mentioned above.
- Cleaning up coll_tuned_util. Moving isendrecv to static inline just like sendrecv.
This commit was SVN r13252.
- consistent arguments checking (not allowing to select an algorithm which
is not available)
- consistent way of computing the segcount (number of datatypes by segment).
- small cleanups.
- more informative debugging messages.

(1) As pointed out by Torsten after Jeff comment that there are 15 collectives yesterday.. nope.. I have 16 but
miss counted them in my ifdefs (I had two #11s). Replaces with enum...
(2) Added a readonly MCA param for how many backend algorithms are available per collective (used by benchmarker/STS)
This allowed me to remove the tuned query internal functions and replace them with ompi_coll_tuned_forced_max_algorithms[COLL].
(3) I was reading the user forced MCA params for the collectives on each comm create (module init) but I then put the
values into a global set of variables (like ompi_coll_tuned_reduce_forced_algorithm).
To fix this and make the code neater:
(a) The component looks up the MCA param indices on Open if dynamic_rules is set via the
ompi_coll_tuned_COLLECTIVE_intra_check_forced_init () call.
(b) Got rid of the ompi_coll_ompi_coll_tuned_COLLECTIVE_forced_algorithm/segmentsize/etc globals with a struct that
is now cached on the module data hung off the communicator. i.e. done right.
(c) On module init if dynamic rules enabled we call a general getvalues routine (in coll_tuned_forced.c) to get the
CURRENT values using the MCA param indices and then put them on the modules data segment.
A shorter version of getvalues exists for barrier which only needs the algorithm choice

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)

(apparently we've been doing this in opal and orte, but not in ompi
yet). All public symbols begin with "ompi_coll_tuned_" (not
mca_coll_tuned_) except the component struct. Now this component
passes the illegal symbol report with no hits.

Lots of misc fixes: printfs->opal_output, handles fanin/out correctly for forced ops
unused vars, correct calculations on meaning of 'msgsize' for decision functions
(varies depending on algorithm), etc
