629b95a2fe Afraid this has a couple of things mixed into the commit. Couldn't be helped - had missed one commit prior to running out the door on vacation.
Fix race conditions in abnormal terminations. We had done a first-cut at this in a prior commit. However, the window remained partially open due to the fact that the HNP has multiple paths leading to orte_finalize. Most of our frameworks don't care if they are finalized more than once, but one of them does, which meant we segfaulted if orte_finalize got called more than once. Besides, we really shouldn't be doing that anyway.

So we now introduce a set of atomic locks that prevent us from multiply calling abort, attempting to call orte_finalize, etc. My initial tests indicate this is working cleanly, but since it is a race condition issue, more testing will have to be done before we know for sure that this problem has been licked.

Also, some updates relevant to the tool comm library snuck in here. Since those also touched the orted code (as did the prior changes), I didn't want to attempt to separate them out - besides, they are coming in soon anyway. More on them later as that functionality approaches completion.

84b2099fe8 Remove the now-unused orte_value_array. As this is the last 'class' split between orte and ompi, remove the big comment about the split in ompi_bitmap.
Also, update some properties (source files should not be executeable...), and remove a couple unneeded inclusions of orte_proc_table.h

5e6928d710 Cleanup recursions in ORTE caused by processing recv'd messages that can cause the system to take action resulting in receipt of another message.
Basically, the method employed here is to have a recv create a zero-time timer event that causes the event library to execute a function that processes the message once the recv returns. Thus, any action taken as a result of processing the message occur outside of a recv.

Created two new macros to assist:

ORTE_MESSAGE_EVENT: creates the zero-time event, passing info in a new orte_message_event_t object

ORTE_PROGRESSED_WAIT: while waiting for specified conditions, just calls progress so messages can be recv'd.

Also fixed the failed_launch function as we no longer block in the orted callback function. Updated the error messages to reflect revision. No change in API to this function, but PLM "owners" may want to check their internal error messages to avoid duplication and excessive output.

This has been tested on Mac, TM, and SLURM.

fff1057597 We do ''not'' want the orted to yield the processor more than
necessary (it already uses blocking semantics while waiting for events
on fd's, so it's not taking more cycles from MPI applications than
necessary), or this can/will cause lengthy delays in orted processing.
The problem we most recently saw was with routed OOB messages getting
significantly delayed before being delivered to the target MPI
processes.  This was problematic for BTLs that use OOB messaging for
wireup.  There is a lengthy comment in orted_main.c that describes
this in more detail.

Setting the orted to not voluntarily call yield() prevents this bad
behavior.  The orted only runs in small bursts anyway (and blocks the
rest of the time), so this is not harmful to application performance.

54b2cf747e These changes were mostly captured in a prior RFC (except for #2 below) and are aimed specifically at improving startup performance and setting up the remaining modifications described in that RFC.
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

f80ea093a2 Ensure that the orteds do not directly respond to USR1/2 signals. Those signals are trapped by mpirun and propagated from there - at most, the orteds are involved in the propagation process, but should never do anything on their own.

d99c764e75 Resolve a problem where the orte daemon comm functions were being accessed by mpirun while still retaining occasional reference to the orted_globals. Remove all dependence on orted_globals from the comm functions. Move those functions back into their own file to make it easier to maintain the separation. Ensure that mpirun ignores any "exit" commands being sent to daemons as it will exit on its own.

41977fcc95 Remove the cellid field from the orte_process_name_t structure. This only affects a handful of files in itself, but...
Cleanup ALL instances of output involving the printing of orte_process_name_t structures using the ORTE_NAME_ARGS macro so that the number of fields and type of data match. Replace those values with a new macro/function pair ORTE_NAME_PRINT that outputs a string (using the new thread safe data capability) so that any future changes to the printing of those structures can be accomplished with a change to a single point.

Note that I could not possibly find outputs that directly print the orte_process_name_t fields, but only dealt with those that used ORTE_NAME_ARGS. Hence, you may still have a few outputs that bark during compilation. Also, I could only verify those that fall within environments I can compile on, so other environments may yield some minor warnings.

2bded34a1d Fix a problem observed by Brian where processes launched local to mpirun lost their environment except for MCA params.
The problem stemmed from no longer launching a local orted on the same node as mpirun. The orted would save and reuse the base environment. Mpirun didn't do that, and the odls was using the orted's globally saved environment (which wasn't being set).

This fix establishes a globally accessible base launch environment that both the orted and mpirun can utilize. Since we now use that, we don't need to pass it to the odls_launch_proc function, so remove that param from the API (and modify all components to handle the change).

bd65f8ba88 Bring in an updated launch system for the orteds. This commit restores the ability to execute singletons and singleton comm_spawn, both in single node and multi-node environments.
Short description: major changes include -

1. singletons now fork/exec a local daemon to manage their operations.

2. the orte daemon code now resides in libopen-rte

3. daemons no longer use the orte triggering system during startup. Instead, they directly call back to their parent pls component to report ready to operate. A base function to count the callbacks has been provided.

I have modified all the pls components except xcpu and poe (don't understand either well enough to do it). Full functionality has been verified for rsh, SLURM, and TM systems. Compile has been verified for xgrid and gridengine.
