- adding linear algorithm with synchronization for gather.
This algorithm prevents congestion at root process, but introduces
synchronization (serializes non-root processes, but allows messages
to arrive from two processes at the same time).
It performed better than binomial and linear algorithms for large message,
and intermediate and large communicator sizes.
- Updating MPI_Gather decision function to reflect performance results
from MX. I will perform more measurements though - so this one can
change.
This commit was SVN r15165.
- Removing "small" message size limit because it really does not relate to the eager size
accross the board.
Now, the leaf nodes in generalized reduce will use blocking send (DEFAULT/ORIGINAL BEHAVIOR)
either when the maximum number of outstanding requests is 0 or
when the total number of segments is less than the maximum number of outstanding requests.
Otherwise, it will send messages using non-blocking synchronized send operation.
This commit was SVN r14572.
This "feature" is disabled by default and it should not affect the current performance.
In case when the message size is large and segment size is smaller than eager size for particular interface,
the leaf nodes in generalized reduce function can overflood parent nodes by sending all segments without
any synchronization. This can cause the parent to have HIGH number of unexpected messages (think 16MB
message with 1KB segments for example). In case of binomial algorithm root node always has at least one
child which is leaf, so this can potentially affect the root's performance significantly [Especially in
large communicators where root may have quite a few children (binomial tree for example)].
When the segment size is bigger than the eager size, rendezvous protocol ensures that this does
not happen so it is not necessary.
Originally, the problem was exposed in "infinite" bucket allocator clean up time for "small" segment sizes
(which may explain some "deadlocks" on Thunderbird tests).
To prevent this, we allow user to specify mca parameter "--mca coll_tuned_reduce_algorithm_max_requests NUM"
this limits number of outstanding messages from a leaf node in generalized reduce to the parent to NUM.
Messages are sent as non-blocking synchrnous messages, so syncronization happens at "wait" time.
The synchronization actually improved performance of pipeline and binomial algorithm for large message sizes
with 1KB segments over MX, but I need to test it some more to make sure it is consistent.
Since there is no easy way to find out what is "the eager" size for particular btl, I set the limit to 4000B.
If message/individual segment size is greater than 4000B - we will not use this feature. This variable may
or may not be exposed as mca parameter later...
I did not have any problems running it and both "default" and "synchronous" tests passed Intel Reduce* tests
up to 80 processes (over MX).

Per discussions with Brian and Ralph, make a slight correction in
where components are installed. Use $pkglibdir, not $libdir/openmpi,
so that when compiled in the orte trunk, components are installed to
the right directory (because the component search patch is checking
$pkglibdir).

- fixing line lengths and some of the comments
- possible bug fix (but I do not think we exposed it in any tests so far)

true_extent + (count -1) * extent.
Everything is still passing Intel tests over tcp and btl mx up to 64 nodes.

Currently 3 algorithms are available:
- non-overlapping, reduce + scatterv, (works for non-commutative operations)
- recursive halving algorithm (copied from basic module)
- ring algorithm (similar to allreduce ring, for large messages)
This commit was SVN r13929.
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.

- 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.

outstanding requests can be limited using mca parameters.
The implementation passed Intel, IMB-3.2, and mpi_test_suite tests over
TCP and MX up to 128 processes (64 nodes), on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines.
It is not activated by default, but it should be useful for really large
communicator sizes.
This commit was SVN r13720.
Implementation passed intel: MPI_Reduce_c , MPI_Reduce_loc_c, and MPI_Reduce_user_c tests
over TCP, BTL MX, and MTL MX, as well as, mpi_test_suite Reduce tests (up to 64 nodes).
The algorithm is still not activated by decision function (will be in the near future).
This commit was SVN r13657.
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,

- post isends in reverse order of posting irecvs.
if the messages arrive approximately in order, this should
minimize the time spent in matching the requests.
I did not see any performance difference over MX up to 64 nodes, but
the change makes sense and may have some impact when we have (many)
more nodes.
This commit was SVN r13337.
- 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.
- removing static qualification on ompi_coll_tuned_sendrecv
- adding ompi_coll_tuned_isendrecv function which posts isend and irecv requests
These changes are separate from but necessary for new algorithms I am working on.
This commit was SVN r13161.
- utilizing coll_tuned_util functions
- setting line length to 80.
This implementation uses standard send messages (instead of synchronous ones).
The change improved our performance over MX multiple number of times, however,
there exists a small potential that last message to be sent can be delayed
(until next mpi call, which means potentially infinitely).
If this shows to be a problem, I will modify the algorithms to use synchronous
send as last operation (which will incur performance penalty again).
This commit was SVN r13071.
- in allgather algorithms I replaces irecv-isend-waitall sequence with
call to ompi_coll_tuned_sendrecv

It contains four algorithms:
Bruck (ciel(logP) steps), Recursive Doubling (log(P) for power-of-2 processes), Ring (P-1 steps),
and Neighbor Exchange (P/2 steps for even number of processes).
All algorithms passed occ, IMB-2.3, and intel verification tests from ompi-tests/ for up to 56 processes.
The fixed decision function is based on results collected over MX on the Grig cluster at
the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
I have also added (and commented out) copy of MPICH2 decision function for allgather
(from their IJHPCA 2005 paper).

description. Most of the bcast algorithms can be completed using this
generic function once we create the tree structure. Add all kind of
trees.
There are 2 versions of the generic bcast function. One using overlapping
between receives (for intermediary nodes) and then blocking sends to all
childs and another where all sends are non blocking. I still have to
figure out which one give the smallest overhead.
This commit was SVN r12530.
the default decision functions (for broadcast, reduce and barrier) are based on a
high performance network (not TCP). It should give good performance (really good) for
any network having the following caracteristics: small latency (5 microseconds) and good
bandwidth (more than 1Gb/s).
+ Cleanup of the reduce algorithms, plus 2 new algorithms (binary and binomial). Now most
of the reduce algorithms use a generic tree based function for completing the reduce.
+ Added macros for computing the trees (they are used for bcast and reduce right now).
+ Allow the usage of all 5 topologies.
+ Jelena's implementation of a binary tree that can be used for non commutative operations.
Right now only the tree building function is there, it will get activated soon.
+ Some others minor cleanups.

- all iovec manipulation functions where the iov_len is again an int

As these only happens on Windows, so I think we're set for now :)

George: ompi_ddt_type_size() returns a signed int only because of the
MPI spec; it will never return a negative value. So casting the
return value out of it to a (uint32_t) is safe, and makes the

(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

this was implemented using a chain (tree followed with pipeline) by setting the chain fanout to a factor of size etc but the chain datastructure was fixed in length and if exceeded the topo create returned a null which isn't helpfull in cid next function of comdup...
Anyway two fixes, first we do have a real linear function so changed the decision function and second altered the
topo chain create to force chain fanouts of less than 1 to 1 and fanouts bigger than max to max.
next check in will change chain to dynamically allocd array (reallocable) but we shouldn't ever use a chain fanout for a linear tree anyway.
(lession must rerun all tests for all data sizes when changing decision functions)
