1. ORTE_RMAPS_DISPLAY_AT_LAUNCH: pretty-prints out the process map right before we launch so you can see where everyone is going. This is settable via the command line option "--display-map-at-launch"
2. ORTE_RMGR_STOP_AFTER_SETUP: just setup the job and then return from the spawn command.
3. ORTE_RMGR_STOP_AFTER_ALLOC: return from the rmgr.spawn call after allocating the job
4. ORTE_RMGR_STOP_AFTER_MAP: return from the rmgr.spawn call after mapping the job. This gives folks a chance to retrieve and graphically display the map, let the user edit it, and store the results. They can then call "launch" on their own and the system will use the revised map.
Enjoy! My personal favorite is the first one - helps with debugging.

- Simplified the logic of the ras modules by moving the attribute handling into the base allocation function. This allows us to decide how to allocate based on the situation, and solves some of the allocation problems we were having with comm_spawn.
- moved the proxy component into the base. This was done because we always want to call the proxy functions if we are not on a HNP regardless of the attributes passed.
- Got rid of the hostfile component. What little logic was in it was moved into the base to deal with other circumstances. The hostfile information is currently being propagated into the registry by the RDS, so we just use what is already in the registry.
- renamed some slurm function so that they have the proper prefix. Not strictly necessary as they were static, but it makes debugging much easier.
- fixed a buglet in the round_robin rmaps where we would return an error when really no error occured.
I tried to make proper corrections to all the ras modules, but I cannot test all of them.

This change does a couple of things:
1. Since the USE_PARENT_ALLOC attribute is a directive about regarding allocation of resources to a job, it more properly should be an attribute of the RAS. Change the name to reflect that and move the attribute define to the ras_types.h file.
2. Add the attributes list to the RMAPS map_job interface. This provides us with the desired flexibility to dynamically specify directives for mapping. The system will - in the absence of any attribute-based directive - default to the values provided in the MCA parameters (either from environment or command-line interface).

In this implementation, we begin mapping on the first node that has at least one slot available as measured by the slots_inuse versus the soft limit. If none of the nodes meet that criterion, we just start at the beginning of the node list since we are oversubscribed anyway.
Note that we ignore this logic if the user specifies a mapping - then it's just "user beware".
The real root cause of the problem is that we don't adjust sched_yield as we add processes onto a node. Hence, the node becomes oversubscribed and performance goes into the toilet. What we REALLY need to do to solve the problem is:
(a) modify the PLS components so they reuse the existing daemons,
(b) create a way to tell a running process to adjust its sched_yield, and
(c) modify the ODLS components to update the sched_yield on a process per the new method
Until we do that, we will continue to have this problem - all this fix (and any subsequent one that focuses solely on the mapper) does is hopefully make it happen less often.
This commit was SVN r12145.
Fix the problem observed by multiple people that comm_spawned children were (once again) being mapped onto the same nodes as their parents. This was caused by going through the RAS a second time, thus overwriting the mapper's bookkeeping that told RMAPS where it had left off.
To solve this - and to continue moving forward on the ORTE development - we introduce the concept of attributes to control the behavior of the RM frameworks. I defined the attributes and a list of attributes as new ORTE data types to make it easier for people to pass them around (since they are now fundamental to the system, and therefore we will be packing and unpacking them frequently). Thus, all the functions to manipulate attributes can be implemented and debugged in one place.
I used those capabilities in two places:
1. Added an attribute list to the rmgr.spawn interface.
2. Added an attribute list to the ras.allocate interface. At the moment, the only attribute I modified the various RAS components to recognize is the USE_PARENT_ALLOCATION one (as defined in rmgr_types.h).
So the RAS components now know how to reuse an allocation. I have debugged this under rsh, but it now needs to be tested on a wider set of platforms.

LoadLeveler only sets LOADL_PROCESSOR_LIST when there are 128 or less tasks allocated to a job. The POE RAS relied on this variable so I created a new RAS which uses the LoadLeveler API instead of relying on the environment variable. This still needs some testing, so for now we use the POE RAS whenever LOADL_PROCESSOR_LIST, otherwise we fall back on this component.
Unfortunately, this will require an autogen...
This commit was SVN r11732.
Allow the POE RAS to be compled for linux as well as AIX.
The POE RAS is really a Loadleveler RAS, and IU now has
a cluster that uses Loadleveler in a Linux environment (BigRed).
This seems to be the only thing we need to do so far to run
Open MPI on BigRed. Yay :)

Other changes:
1. Remove the old xcpu components as they are not functional.
2. Fix a "bug" in orterun whereby we called dump_aborted_procs even when we normally terminated. There is still some kind of bug in this procedure, however, as we appear to be calling the orterun job_state_callback function every time a process terminates (instead of only once when they have all terminated). I'll continue digging into that one.
This will require an autogen/configure, I'm afraid.
This commit was SVN r11228.
Clean up the remainder of the size_t references in the runtime itself. Convert to orte_std_cntr_t wherever it makes sense (only avoid those places where the actual memory size is referenced).
Remove the obsolete oob barrier function (we actually obsoleted it a long time ago - just never bothered to clean it up).
I have done my best to go through all the components and catch everything, even if I couldn't test compile them since I wasn't on that type of system. Still, I cannot guarantee that problems won't show up when you test this on specific systems. Usually, these will just show as "warning: comparison between signed and unsigned" notes which are easily fixed (just change a size_t to orte_std_cntr_t).
In some places, people didn't use size_t, but instead used some other variant (e.g., I found several places with uint32_t). I tried to catch all of them, but...
Once we get all the instances caught and fixed, this should once and for all resolve many of the heterogeneity problems.

Fixed a few very minor compiler complaints in the pls_gridengine_module.c file. ISO C is less forgiving about where variables get declared.
This commit was SVN r11156.
1. Modifies the RAS framework so it correctly stores and retrieves the actual slots in use, not just those that were allocated. Although the RAS node structure had storage for the number of slots in use, it turned out that the base function for storing and retrieving that information ignored what was in the field and simply set it equal to the number of slots allocated. This has now been fixed.
2. Modified the RMAPS framework so it updates the registry with the actual number of slots used by the mapping. Note that daemons are still NOT counted in this process as daemons are NOT mapped at this time. This will be fixed in 2.0, but will not be addressed in 1.x.
3. Added a new MCA parameter "rmaps_base_no_oversubscribe" that tells the system not to oversubscribe nodes even if the underlying environment permits it. The default is to oversubscribe if needed and the underlying environment permits it. I'm sure someone may argue "why would a user do that?", but it turns out that (looking ahead to dynamic resource reservations) sometimes users won't know how many nodes or slots they've been given in advance - this just allows them to say "hey, I'd rather not run if I didn't get enough".
4. Reorganizes the RMAPS framework to more easily support multiple components. A lot of the logic in the round_robin mapper was very valuable to any component - this has been moved to the base so others can take advantage of it.
5. Added a new test program "hello_nodename" - just does "hello_world" but also prints out the name of the node it is on.
6. Made the orte_ras_node_t object a full ORTE data type so it can more easily be copied, packed, etc. This proved helpful for the RMAPS code reorganization and might be of use elsewhere too.
This commit was SVN r10697.
Basically, the problem was that the allocator was grabbing everything on the cluster for which the user had access privilege. Thus, if a user had two sessions operable, each with its own allocation, mpirun in each session would grab both sets of nodes and use them. Not very polite.
