These two macros set the prefix for the OPAL and ORTE libraries,
respectively. Specifically, the OPAL library will be named
libPREFIXopen-pal.la and the ORTE library will be named
libPREFIXopen-rte.la.
These macros must be called, even if the prefix argument is empty.
The intent is that Open MPI will call these macros with an empty
prefix, but other projects (such as ORCM) will call these macros with
a non-empty prefix. For example, ORCM libraries can be named
liborcm-open-pal.la and liborcm-open-rte.la.
This scheme is necessary to allow running Open MPI applications under
systems that use their own versions of ORTE and OPAL. For example,
when running MPI applications under ORTE, if the ORTE and OPAL
libraries between OMPI and ORCM are not identical (which, because they
are released at different times, are likely to be different), we need
to ensure that the OMPI applications link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries, but the ORCM executables link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries.
the OPAL and ORTE libraries. This is required by projects such as ORCM
that have their own ORTE and OPAL libraries in order to avoid library
confusion. By renaming their version of the libraries, the OMPI
applications can correctly dynamically load the correct one for their
build."

Will be reconsidered via RFC as it represents a significant change in behavior
1. It's actually hashing now, whereas the old OPAL hash table was not. Thus, it is a bug fix for and, as such, should be included in the 1.8 series.
2. It is dynamic and can grow and shrink the number of buckets in accordance with job size, whereas the old OPAL hash table had a fixed number of buckets which resulted in poor retrieval performance at large scale.
This scheme has been deployed in the field on very large H.P./Mellanox systems and has been demonstrated to significantly decrease job start-up time (~ 20% improvement) when launching applications directly with srun in SLURM environments. However, neither SLURM nor direct launch are prerequisites to take advantage of this change as any entity that utilizes OPAL hash table objects can benefit (at least partially) from this contribution.
With --enable-memchecker builds, use calloc(3) for OBJ_NEW instead of
malloc(3). This cuts down on a lot of valgrind/memory checker false
positive output.
Also make a minor change in the valgrind configure.m4; have it assign
0xf to a char. The prior assignment (of 0xff) was warning about an
overflow. This didn't really matter, but we might as well make the
test not have a gratuitious warning in it.

WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.

turned out to be a nightmare, as the pointers to the classes are
located in shared libraries memory areas, and are not accesible
after the shared library is unloaded. Thus, OPAL cannot cleanup
the left-over classes from the other shared libraries.

more:
- Remove OPAL_ENABLE_MULTI_THREADS, since it didn't really do anything
correctly. Opal always has threads enabled at this point.
- Remove OMPI_ENABLE_PROGRESS_THREADS, since this hasn't worked in
8 years and it has performance issues we'll never be able to
overcome. Note that we have plans for re-adding async progress, using
a hybrid protocol of async and sync sends.
- OMPI_ENABLE_THREAD_MULTIPLE now determines whether the thread lock
macros do the check or not.
- Condition variables are ALWAYS polling right now, which fixes the thread
live-lock currently found when THREAD_MULTIPLE is turned on.

following:
* Provides a fixed number of resource slots (i.e., "hotel rooms").
* Allows one thing to occupy a resource slot at a time (i.e., each
hotel room can have an occupant check in to that room).
* Resource slots can be vacated at any time (i.e., occupants can
voluntarily check out of their hotel room).
* Resource slots can be occupied for a specific maximum amount of
time. If that time expires, the occupant is forcibly evicted and
the upper layer is notified via (libevent) callback (i.e., the maid
will kick an occupant of out of their room when their reservation
is over).
This class can be to be used for things like retransmission schemes
for unreliable transports. For example, a message sent on an
unreliable transport can be checked in to a hotel room. If an ACK for
that message is received, the message can be checked out. But if the
ACK is never received, the message will eventually be evicted from its
room and the upper layer will be notified that the message failed to
check out in time (i.e., that an ACK for that message was not received
in time).
Code using this class is currently being developed off-trunk, but will
be coming to SVN soon.
