This fixes a problem reported by @bgoglin where rank-by was incorrectly generating values when ranking by a type of object (e.g., socket). It also corrects the handling of the pernode, npernode, and npersocket options - these should only set the #procs and the default mapping pattern. They specifically should not prohibit the user from requesting a different mapping.
Thus, the following should be valid:
mpirun -npernode 2 --map-by socket ...
should put 2 procs on each node, mapping them by-socket on each node.

Shorten the loops as much as possible - if someone wants to further optimize, they are welcome to do so.

While it may be faster to reverse the order of the assignment loops, it also results in the wrong answer

Start updating the various mappers to the new procedure. Remove the stale lama component as it is now very out-of-date. Bring round_robin and PPR online, and modify the mindist component (but cannot test/debug it).
Remove unneeded test
Fix memory corruption by re-initializing variable to NULL in loop
Resolve the race condition identified by @ggouaillardet by resetting the
mapped flag within the same event where it was set. There is no need to
retain the flag beyond that point as it isn't used again.
Add a new job attribute ORTE_JOB_FULLY_DESCRIBED to indicate that all the job information (including locations and binding) is included in the launch message. Thus, the backend daemons do not need to do any map computation for the job. Use this for the seq, rankfile, and mindist mappers until someone decides to update them.
Note that this will maintain functionality, but means that users of those three mappers will see large launch messages and less performant scaling than those using the other mappers.
Have the mindist module add procs to the job's proc array as it is a fully described module
Protect the hnp-not-in-allocation case
Per path suggested by Gilles - protect the HNP node when it gets added in the absence of any other allocation or hostfile

Cleanup a typo, and remove no longer needed MCA params for hetero nodes and hetero apps. Hetero nodes will always be automatically detected. We don't support a mix of 32 and 64 bit apps
Modify the orte_node_t to use orte_topology_t instead of hwloc_topology_t, updating all the places that use it. Ensure that we properly update topology when we see a different one on a compute node.

This commit adds support for project_framework_component_* parameter
matching. This is the first step in allowing the same framework name
in multiple projects. This change also bumps the MCA component version
to 2.1.0.
All master frameworks have been updated to use the new component
versioning macro. An mca.h has been added to each project to add a
project specific versioning macro of the form
PROJECT_MCA_VERSION_2_1_0.

Revamp the ORTE global data structures to reduce memory footprint and add new features. Add ability to control/set cpu frequency, though this can only be done if the sys admin has setup the system to support it (or you run as root).
This commit was SVN r31916.
r of slots remaing to be assigned being only one/node. Regardless, it didn't work for the case where nodes were defined in ascending order of slots.
Tetsuya's proposed patch didn't solve the problem for me, but it did correct the case where cpus/proc > 1. The final patch requires that we loop over the assignment
algo until all procs are assigned or all nodes are filled - any remaining procs are then handled in the cleanup loop.

* default to bind-to core
* map-by slot if np=2
* map-by socket (balance across sockets on each node) if np > 2
* map-by <obj> will imply rank-by <obj> by default (leave default binding as above)
Fix a bug in the map-by <obj> mapper where we incorrectly compute the #procs to assign if the #slots > #procs
cmr=v1.7.4:reviewer=jsquyres:subject=Update default binding and mapping values
This commit was SVN r29919.
Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.
This commit was SVN r28236.
"num_app_ctx" - the number of app_contexts in the job
"first_rank" - the MPI rank of the first process in each app_context
"np" - the number of procs in each app_context
Still need clarification on the MPI_Init portion of the ticket. Specifically, does the ticket call for returning an error is someone calls MPI_Init more than once in a program? We set a flag to tell us that we have been initialized, but currently never check it.

The wiki page is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to complete it over the next few days. I will provide updates on the devel list. As the wiki page states, the default and most commonly used options remain unchanged (except as noted below). New, esoteric and complex options have been added, but unless you are a true masochist, you are unlikely to use many of them beyond perhaps an initial curiosity-motivated experimentation.
In a nutshell, this commit revamps the map/rank/bind procedure to take into account topology info on the compute nodes. I have, for the most part, preserved the default behaviors, with three notable exceptions:
1. I have at long last bowed my head in submission to the system admin's of managed clusters. For years, they have complained about our default of allowing users to oversubscribe nodes - i.e., to run more processes on a node than allocated slots. Accordingly, I have modified the default behavior: if you are running off of hostfile/dash-host allocated nodes, then the default is to allow oversubscription. If you are running off of RM-allocated nodes, then the default is to NOT allow oversubscription. Flags to override these behaviors are provided, so this only affects the default behavior.
2. both cpus/rank and stride have been removed. The latter was demanded by those who didn't understand the purpose behind it - and I agreed as the users who requested it are no longer using it. The former was removed temporarily pending implementation.
3. vm launch is now the sole method for starting OMPI. It was just too darned hard to maintain multiple launch procedures - maybe someday, provided someone can demonstrate a reason to do so.
As Jeff stated, it is impossible to fully test a change of this size. I have tested it on Linux and Mac, covering all the default and simple options, singletons, and comm_spawn. That said, I'm sure others will find problems, so I'll be watching MTT results until this stabilizes.
