This commit adds an API for registering and querying performance
variables (mca_base_pvar) in the MCA base. The existing MCA variable
system API has been updated to reflect the new API: MCA variable
groups have performance variables, and new types have been added (double,
unsigned long long) to reflect what is required by the MPI_T
interface. Additionally, the MCA variable group code has been split
into its own set of files: mca_base_var_group.[ch].
Details of the new API can be found in doxygen comments in the header:
mca_base_pvar.h.
Other changes to the variable system:
- Use an opal_hash_table to speed up variable/group lookup.
- Clean up code associated with MCA variable types.
- Registered performance variables are printed by ompi_info -a. In the
future an option should be added to control this behavior.
Changes to OMPI:
- Added full support for the MPI_T performance variable interface.
This commit was SVN r28800.
