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.

- it use the unexpected queue create by commit r19562 to dispatch the

is created and initialized).
- delay the PML comm_add until we have the context_id for the new communicator.
- only do the PML comm_add on processes that really belong to the new
communicator. Please read the lengthy comment in the source code for the

got a whole lot smaller, decreasing the memory footprint of the
running application. How much it's a good question. Here is a
breakdown:
- in mca_bml_base_endpoint_t: 3 *size_t + 1 * uint32_t
- in mca_bml_base_btl_t: 1 * int + 1 * double - 1 * float
+ 6 * size_t + 9 * (void*)
The decrease in mca_bml_base_endpoint_t is for each peer and the
decrease in mca_bml_base_btl_t is for each BTL for each peer.
So, if we consider the most convenient case where there is only
one network between all peers, this decrease the memory foot print
per peer by
9*size_t + 9*(void*) + 2 * int32_t + 1 * double - 1 * float.
On a 64 bits machine this will be 156 bytes per peer.
Now we access all these fields directly from the underlying BTL
structure, and as this structure is common to multiple BML endpoint,
we are a lot more cache friendly. Even if this do not improve the
latency, it makes the SM performance graph a lot smoother.

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.
This commit was SVN r18619.
1. The send path get shorter. The BTL is allowed to return > 0 to specify that the
descriptor was pushed to the networks, and that the memory attached to it is
available again for the upper layer. The MCA_BTL_DES_SEND_ALWAYS_CALLBACK flag
can be used by the PML to force the BTL to always trigger the callback.
Unmodified BTL will continue to work as expected, as they will return OMPI_SUCCESS
which force the PML to have exactly the same behavior as before. Some BTLs have
been modified: self, sm, tcp, mx.
2. Add send immediate interface to BTL.
The idea is to have a mechanism of allowing the BTL to take advantage of
send optimizations such as the ability to deliver data "inline". Some
network APIs such as Portals allow data to be sent using a "thin" event
without packing data into a memory descriptor. This interface change
allows the BTL to use such capabilities and allows for other optimizations
in the future. All existing BTLs except for Portals and sm have this interface
set to NULL.

such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly

= 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.

The problem was caused by a bad ordering between the restart of the ORTE level tcp connections (in the OOB - out-of-band communication) and the Open MPI level tcp connections (BTLs). Before this commit ORTE would shutdown and restart the OOB completely before the OMPI level restarted its tcp connections. What would happen is that a socket descriptor used by the OMPI level on checkpoint was assigned to the ORTE level on restart. But the OMPI level had no knowledge that the socket descriptor it was previously using has been recycled so it closed it on restart. This caused the ORTE level to break as the newly created socket descriptor was closed without its knowledge.
The fix is to have the OMPI level shutdown tcp connections, allow the ORTE level to restart, and then allow the OMPi level to restart its connections. This seems obvious, and I'm surprised that this bug has not cropped up sooner. I'm confident that this specific problem has been fixed with this commit.
Thanks to Eric Roman and Tamer El Sayed for their help in identifying this problem, and patience while I was fixing it.
* Add a new state {{{OPAL_CRS_RESTART_PRE}}}. This state identifies when we are on the down slope of the INC (finalize-like) which is useful when you want to close, but not reopen a component set for fear of interfering with a lower level.
* Use this new state in OMPI level coordination. Here we want to make sure to play well with both the OMPI/BTL/TCP and ORTE/OOB/TCP components.
* Update ft_event functions in PML and BML to handle the new restart state.
* Add an additional flag to the error output in OOB/TCP so we can see what the socket descriptor was on failure as this can be helpful in debugging.

- the registration array is now global instead of one by BTL.
- each framework have to declare the entries in the registration array reserved. Then
it have to define the internal way of sharing (or not) these entries between all
components. As an example, the PML will not share as there is only one active PML
at any moment, while the BTLs will have to. The tag is 8 bits long, the first 3
are reserved for the framework while the remaining 5 are use internally by each
framework.
- The registration function is optional. If a BTL do not provide such function,
nothing happens. However, in the case where such function is provided in the BTL
structure, it will be called by the BML, when a tag is registered.
Now, it's time for the second step... Converting OB1 from a switch based PML to an

The commit has been tested for C/R and Cray operations, and on Odin (SLURM, rsh) and RoadRunner (TM). I tried to update all environments, but obviously could not test them. I know that Windows needs some work, and have highlighted what is know to be needed in the odls process component.
This represents a lot of work by Brian, Tim P, Josh, and myself, with much advice from Jeff and others. For posterity, I have appended a copy of the email describing the work that was done:
As we have repeatedly noted, the modex operation in MPI_Init is the single greatest consumer of time during startup. To-date, we have executed that operation as an ORTE stage gate that held the process until a startup message containing all required modex (and OOB contact info - see #3 below) info could be sent to it. Each process would send its data to the HNP's registry, which assembled and sent the message when all processes had reported in.
In addition, ORTE had taken responsibility for monitoring process status as it progressed through a series of "stage gates". The process reported its status at each gate, and ORTE would then send a "release" message once all procs had reported in.
The incoming changes revamp these procedures in three ways:
1. eliminating the ORTE stage gate system and cleanly delineating responsibility between the OMPI and ORTE layers for MPI init/finalize. The modex stage gate (STG1) has been replaced by a collective operation in the modex itself that performs an allgather on the required modex info. The allgather is implemented using the orte_grpcomm framework since the BTL's are not active at that point. At the moment, the grpcomm framework only has a "basic" component analogous to OMPI's "basic" coll framework - I would recommend that the MPI team create additional, more advanced components to improve performance of this step.
The other stage gates have been replaced by orte_grpcomm barrier functions. We tried to use MPI barriers instead (since the BTL's are active at that point), but - as we discussed on the telecon - these are not currently true barriers so the job would hang when we fell through while messages were still in process. Note that the grpcomm barrier doesn't actually resolve that problem, but Brian has pointed out that we are unlikely to ever see it violated. Again, you might want to spend a little time on an advanced barrier algorithm as the one in "basic" is very simplistic.
Summarizing this change: ORTE no longer tracks process state nor has direct responsibility for synchronizing jobs. This is now done via collective operations within the MPI layer, albeit using ORTE collective communication services. I -strongly- urge the MPI team to implement advanced collective algorithms to improve the performance of this critical procedure.
2. reducing the volume of data exchanged during modex. Data in the modex consisted of the process name, the name of the node where that process is located (expressed as a string), plus a string representation of all contact info. The nodename was required in order for the modex to determine if the process was local or not - in addition, some people like to have it to print pretty error messages when a connection failed.
The size of this data has been reduced in three ways:
(a) reducing the size of the process name itself. The process name consisted of two 32-bit fields for the jobid and vpid. This is far larger than any current system, or system likely to exist in the near future, can support. Accordingly, the default size of these fields has been reduced to 16-bits, which means you can have 32k procs in each of 32k jobs. Since the daemons must have a vpid, and we require one daemon/node, this also restricts the default configuration to 32k nodes.
To support any future "mega-clusters", a configuration option --enable-jumbo-apps has been added. This option increases the jobid and vpid field sizes to 32-bits. Someday, if necessary, someone can add yet another option to increase them to 64-bits, I suppose.
(b) replacing the string nodename with an integer nodeid. Since we have one daemon/node, the nodeid corresponds to the local daemon's vpid. This replaces an often lengthy string with only 2 (or at most 4) bytes, a substantial reduction.
(c) when the mca param requesting that nodenames be sent to support pretty error messages, a second mca param is now used to request FQDN - otherwise, the domain name is stripped (by default) from the message to save space. If someone wants to combine those into a single param somehow (perhaps with an argument?), they are welcome to do so - I didn't want to alter what people are already using.
While these may seem like small savings, they actually amount to a significant impact when aggregated across the entire modex operation. Since every proc must receive the modex data regardless of the collective used to send it, just reducing the size of the process name removes nearly 400MBytes of communication from a 32k proc job (admittedly, much of this comm may occur in parallel). So it does add up pretty quickly.
3. routing RML messages to reduce connections. The default messaging system remains point-to-point - i.e., each proc opens a socket to every proc it communicates with and sends its messages directly. A new option uses the orteds as routers - i.e., each proc only opens a single socket to its local orted. All messages are sent from the proc to the orted, which forwards the message to the orted on the node where the intended recipient proc is located - that orted then forwards the message to its local proc (the recipient). This greatly reduces the connection storm we have encountered during startup.
It also has the benefit of removing the sharing of every proc's OOB contact with every other proc. The orted routing tables are populated during launch since every orted gets a map of where every proc is being placed. Each proc, therefore, only needs to know the contact info for its local daemon, which is passed in via the environment when the proc is fork/exec'd by the daemon. This alone removes ~50 bytes/process of communication that was in the current STG1 startup message - so for our 32k proc job, this saves us roughly 32k*50 = 1.6MBytes sent to 32k procs = 51GBytes of messaging.
Note that you can use the new routing method by specifying -mca routed tree - if you so desire. This mode will become the default at some point in the future.
There are a few minor additional changes in the commit that I'll just note in passing:
* propagation of command line mca params to the orteds - fixes ticket #1073. See note there for details.
* requiring of "finalize" prior to "exit" for MPI procs - fixes ticket #1144. See note there for details.
* cleanup of some stale header files

receive queues are shared among all PMLs, they are declared in the base PML,
and the selected PML is in charge of initializing and releasing them.
The CM PML is slightly different compared with OB1 or DR. Internally it use
2 different types of requests: light and heavy. However, now with this patch
both types of requests are stored in the same queue, and cast appropriately
on the allocation macro. This means we might use less memory than we allocate,
but in exchange we got full support for most of the parallel debuggers.
Another thing with this patch, is that now for all PML (CM included) the basic
PML requests start with the same fields, and they are declared in the same order
in the request structure. Moreover, the fields have been moved in such a way
that only one volatile/atomic will exist per line of cache (hopefully).

single threaded builds. In its default configuration, all this does
is ensure that there's at least a good chance of threads building
based on non-threaded development (since the variable names will be
checked). There is also code to make sure that a "mutex" is never
"double locked" when using the conditional macro mutex operations.
This is off by default because there are a number of places in both
ORTE and OMPI where this alarm spews mega bytes of errors on a
simple test. So we have some work to do on our path towards
thread support.
Also removed the macro versions of the non-conditional thread locks,
as the only places they were used, the author of the code intended
to use the conditional thread locks. So now you have upper-case
macros for conditional thread locks and lowercase functions for
non-conditional locks. Simple, right? :).

This is required to tighten up the BTL semantics. Ordering is not guaranteed,
but, if the BTL returns a order tag in a descriptor (other than
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER) then we may request another descriptor that will obey
ordering w.r.t. to the other descriptor.
This will allow sane behavior for RDMA networks, where local completion of an
RDMA operation on the active side does not imply remote completion on the
passive side. If we send a FIN message after local completion and the FIN is
not ordered w.r.t. the RDMA operation then badness may occur as the passive
side may now try to deregister the memory and the RDMA operation may still be
pending on the passive side.
Note that this has no impact on networks that don't suffer from this
limitation as the ORDER tag can simply always be specified as
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER.
This commit was SVN r14768.
The primary change that underlies all this is in the OOB. Specifically, the problem in the code until now has been that the OOB attempts to resolve an address when we call the "send" to an unknown recipient. The OOB would then wait forever if that recipient never actually started (and hence, never reported back its OOB contact info). In the case of an orted that failed to start, we would correctly detect that the orted hadn't started, but then we would attempt to order all orteds (including the one that failed to start) to die. This would cause the OOB to "hang" the system.
Unfortunately, revising how the OOB resolves addresses introduced a number of additional problems. Specifically, and most troublesome, was the fact that comm_spawn involved the immediate transmission of the rendezvous point from parent-to-child after the child was spawned. The current code used the OOB address resolution as a "barrier" - basically, the parent would attempt to send the info to the child, and then "hold" there until the child's contact info had arrived (meaning the child had started) and the send could be completed.
Note that this also caused comm_spawn to "hang" the entire system if the child never started... The app-failed-to-start helped improve that behavior - this code provides additional relief.
With this change, the OOB will return an ADDRESSEE_UNKNOWN error if you attempt to send to a recipient whose contact info isn't already in the OOB's hash tables. To resolve comm_spawn issues, we also now force the cross-sharing of connection info between parent and child jobs during spawn.
Finally, to aid in setting triggers to the right values, we introduce the "arith" API for the GPR. This function allows you to atomically change the value in a registry location (either divide, multiply, add, or subtract) by the provided operand. It is equivalent to first fetching the value using a "get", then modifying it, and then putting the result back into the registry via a "put".

This commit was SVN r14574.
There is a binomial algorithm in the code (i.e., the HNP would send to a subset of the orteds, which then relay it on according to the typical log-2 algo), but that has a bug in it so the code won't let you select it even if you tried (and the mca param doesn't show, so you'd *really* have to try).
This also involved a slight change to the oob.xcast API, so propagated that as required.
Note: this has *only* been tested on rsh, SLURM, and Bproc environments (now that it has been transferred to the OMPI trunk, I'll need to re-test it [only done rsh so far]). It should work fine on any environment that uses the ORTE daemons - anywhere else, you are on your own... :-)
Also, correct a mistake where the orte_debug_flag was declared an int, but the mca param was set as a bool. Move the storage for that flag to the orte/runtime/params.c and orte/runtime/params.h files appropriately.
