of individual regions (each region is a multiple of page size in
length), and each process claims its own regions by binding it to its
local memory. Each process would end up membining something like 16
individual regions in the overall shmem segment.
There were two errors in this code relating to the memory affinity
pinning. Some combination of these two errors would lead to kernel
panics (!) on my RHEL 6.2 x86_64 machines when used with mmap'ed
shared memory (not posix or sysv shared memory, curiously enough):
1. The shared memory segment is initially divided into two regions:
control and data. The control starts at the beginning of the shmem
segment, the data starts after that. The data portion, unfortunately,
was ''not'' aligned to a page. So all the multiple-of-page-size
regions that we divvy up were also not alined on page boundaries. And
therefore all the regions we tried to membind were not on page
boundaries.
The solution was to ensure that the data portion started on a page
boundary. Then all of the individual regions were on page boundaries,
too.
That being said, in my tests, Linux mbind() fails gracefully when the
address is not on a page boundary. So I'm not sure how this worked at
all / led to a kernel panic...
2. There was some bad pointer math that resulted in membinding regions
larger than they should have been, resulting in region overlaps.
There were definitely overlaps between regions in the same process;
it's likely that there were overlaps between regions of multiple
processes, too -- I'm not sure (and don't care to figure out :-) ).
The solution was to fix the pointer math so that each region membinds
exactly only itself and no neighboring/overlapping regions.

This commit was SVN r28442.
Notes:
- This commit also eliminates the need for an available components list in use
in several frameworks. None of the code in question was making use of the
priority field of the priority component list item so these extra lists were
removed.
- Cleaned up selection code in several frameworks to sort lists using opal_list_sort.
- Cleans up the ompi/orte-info functions. Expose the functions that construct the
list of params so they can be used elsewhere.
patches for mtl/portals4 from brian
missed a few output variables in openib
This commit was SVN r28241.
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.

Remove stale configure.params files from the sbgp framework as the OMPI build system no longer looks at those files.
This commit was SVN r27377.
* Remove paffinity, maffinity, and carto frameworks -- they've been
wholly replaced by hwloc.
* Move ompi_mpi_init() affinity-setting/checking code down to ORTE.
* Update sm, smcuda, wv, and openib components to no longer use carto.
Instead, use hwloc data. There are still optimizations possible in
the sm/smcuda BTLs (i.e., making multiple mpools). Also, the old
carto-based code found out how many NUMA nodes were ''available''
-- not how many were used ''in this job''. The new hwloc-using
code computes the same value -- it was not updated to calculate how
many NUMA nodes are used ''by this job.''
* Note that I cannot compile the smcuda and wv BTLs -- I ''think''
they're right, but they need to be verified by their owners.
* The openib component now does a bunch of stuff to figure out where
"near" OpenFabrics devices are. '''THIS IS A CHANGE IN DEFAULT
BEHAVIOR!!''' and still needs to be verified by OpenFabrics vendors
(I do not have a NUMA machine with an OpenFabrics device that is a
non-uniform distance from multiple different NUMA nodes).
* Completely rewrite the OMPI_Affinity_str() routine from the
"affinity" mpiext extension. This extension now understands
hyperthreads; the output format of it has changed a bit to reflect
this new information.
* Bunches of minor changes around the code base to update names/types
from maffinity/paffinity-based names to hwloc-based names.
* Add some helper functions into the hwloc base, mainly having to do
with the fact that we have the hwloc data reporting ''all''
topology information, but sometimes you really only want the
(online | available) data.
This commit was SVN r26391.
This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.
Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.
This commit was SVN r23764.
Configure Option:
--enable-sysv
MCA Parameter:
mpi_common_sm
mpi_common_sm accepts a comma delimited list of: [sysv],mmap (order
dependent). The first component that is successfully selected is used. For
example, -mca mpi_common_sm sysv,mmap will first try sysv. If sysv is not
successfully selected, then mmap will be used. mmap will be used if
mpi_common_sm is not provided.
Notes:
Please make certain that your system's shmmax limit, or equivalent, is larger
than mpool_sm_min_size. Otherwise, shmget may fail.

In CMake 2.6 and earlier, this function add dependencies for targets and also link the target libraries automatically, but in CMake 2.8,this behavior has been changed, i.e. it will only add the dependencies but no link, which will cause linking errors at compilation time.
This commit was SVN r22405.
This commit does a bunch of things:
* Address all remaining code review items from CMR #2023:
* Defer mmap setup to be lazy; only set it up the first time we
invoke a collective. In this way, we don't penalize apps that
make lots of communicators but don't invoke collectives on them
(per #2027).
* Remove the extra assignments of mca_coll_sm_one (fixing a
convertor count setup that was the real problem).
* Remove another extra/unnecessary assignment.
* Increase libevent polling frequency when using the RML to
bootstrap mmap'ed memory.
* Fix a minor procs-related memory leak in btl_sm.
* Commit a datatype fix that George and I discovered along the way to
fixing the coll sm.
* Improve error messages when mmap fails, potentially trying to
de-alloc any allocated memory when that happens.
* Fix a previously-unnoticed confusion between extent and true_extent
in coll sm reduce.

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 2023 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2023
shmem progress (or the Windows equiv). Instead, poll hard on the
condition, but periocially call opal_progress(). This allows
badly-formed apps (e.g., the ibm test communicator/bsend_free) to
actually complete.
To be clear, there are far too many apps out there that assume that
MPI collectives will actually progress the rest of MPI. I don't like
putting in a feature to enable broken apps, but I have a dim
recollection of this issue coming up before (apps "hanging" when
testing the sm coll because they assumed that calling collectives
would trigger other MPI progress). Rather than have people claim that
OMPI is broken, I prefer to put in this "workaround". :-(
Indeed, the bsend_free test ''may'' be coded that way for exactly that
reason...? I don't remember offhand...
This commit was SVN r21984.
* Various cosmetic/style updates in the btl sm
* Clean up concept of mpool module (I think that code was written way
back when the concept of "modules" was fuzzy)
* Bring over some old fixes from the /tmp/timattox-sm-coll/ tree to
fix potential segv's when mmap'ed regions were at different
addresses in different processes (thanks Tim!).
* Change sm coll to no longer use mpool as its main source of shmem;
rather, just mmap its own segment (because it's fixed size --
there was nothing to be gained by using mpool; shedding the use of
mpool saved a lot of complexity in the sm coll setup). This
effectively made Tim's fixes moot (because now everything is an
offset into the mmap that is computed locally; there are no global
pointers). :-)
* Slightly updated common/sm to allow making mmap's for a specific
set of procs (vs. ''all'' procs in the process). This potentially
allows for same-host-inter-proc mmaps -- yay!
* Fixed many, many things in the coll sm (particularly in reduce):
* Fixed handling of MPI_IN_PLACE in reduce and allreduce
* Fixed handling of non-contiguous datatypes in reduce
* Changed the order of reductions to go from process (n-1)'s data
to process 0's data, because that's how all other OMPI coll
components work
* Fixed lots of usage of ddt functions
* When using a non-contiguous datatype, if the root process is not
(n-1), now we used a 2nd convertor to copy from shmem to the rbuf
(saves a memory copy vs. what was done before)
* Lots and lots of little cleanups, clarifications, and minor
optimizations (although still more could be done -- e.g., I think
the use of write memory barriers is fairly sub-optimal; they
could be ganged together at the root, for example)
I'm marking this as "fixes trac:1988" and closing the ticket; if something
is still broken, we can re-open the ticket.

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.

In total 817 files are touched.
In ompi/mpi/c/ header files are moved up into the actual c-file,
where necessary (these are the only additional #include),
otherwise it is only deletions of #include (apart from the above
additions required due to notifier...)

The prior ompi_proc_t structure had a uint8_t flag field in it, where only one
bit was used to flag that a proc was "local". In that context, "local" was
constrained to mean "local to this node".
This commit provides a greater degree of granularity on the term "local", to include tests
to see if the proc is on the same socket, PC board, node, switch, CU (computing
unit), and cluster.
Add #define's to designate which bits stand for which local condition. This
was added to the OPAL layer to avoid conflicting with the proposed movement of
the BTLs. To make it easier to use, a set of macros have been defined - e.g.,
OPAL_PROC_ON_LOCAL_SOCKET - that test the specific bit. These can be used in
the code base to clearly indicate which sense of locality is being considered.
All locations in the code base that looked at the current proc_t field have
been changed to use the new macros.
Also modify the orte_ess modules so that each returns a uint8_t (to match the
ompi_proc_t field) that contains a complete description of the locality of this
proc. Obviously, not all environments will be capable of providing such detailed
info. Thus, getting a "false" from a test for "on_local_socket" may simply
indicate a lack of knowledge.

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