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.
This commit was SVN r18434.
Only one place used the user name field - session_dir, when formulating the name of the top-level directory. Accordingly, the code for getting the user's id has been moved to the session_dir code.
This commit was SVN r17926.
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.
This commit was SVN r15517.
than just the PML/BTLs these days. Also clean up the code so that it
handles the situation where not all nodes register information for a given
node (rather than just spinning until that node sends information, like
we do today).
Includes r15234 and r15265 from the /tmp/bwb-modex branch.
This commit was SVN r15310.
The following SVN revisions from the original message are invalid or
inconsistent and therefore were not cross-referenced:
r15234
r15265
1. ompi/mca/btl/udapl/btl_udapl_proc.c should be including
btl_udapl_endpoint.h for mca_btl_udapl_proc_insert function.
2. btl_udapl_endpoint.c it looks like you are using
&endpoint->endpoint_lock when you should use &ep->endpoint_lock in a
OPAL_THREAD_LOCK call.
3. btl_udapl_frag.h has a couple opal_list_item_t's that should be
ompi_free_list_item_t in the _FRAG_ALLOC_{EAGER,MAX} macros.
This commit was SVN r10442.
- Grab the mpool_registration in _frag_common_constructor()
- Save the LMR context in the segment key
- No need for cookie variables - can just cast the frag
- No need to memcpy() data when recv'ing
- Add an LMR triplet to the fragment structure and initialize it
in btl_udapl_alloc().
- Whitespace/typo fixes, remove some opal_output() calls
Looks like I can use triplets describing sub-regions of registered LMR's. So I
do this - prior to this patch I was sending the entire free list memory over,
which isn't correct :)
Back to an earlier problem - when sending address information right after
connection establishment, the receiving end receives a DTO completion event and
appears to have good data. But the sending end never receives a DTO completion
event indicating the send completed, and never completes the client side of the
connection.
This commit was SVN r9386.
In short, I'm very close to having connection establishment and eager send/recv working.
Part of the connection process involves sending address information from the
client to server. For some reason, I am never receiving an event indicating
completetion of the send on the client side. Otherwise, connection
establishment is working and eager send/recv should be trivial from here.
Some more detailed changes:
- Send partially implemented, just handles starting up new connections.
- Several support functions implemented for establishing connection. Client
side code went in btl_udapl_endpoint.c, server side in btl_udapl_component.c
- Frags list and send/recv locks added to the endpoint structure.
- BTL sets up a public service point, which listens for new connections.
Steps over ports that are already bound, iterating through a range of ports.
- Remove any traces of recv frags, don't think I need them after all.
- Pieces of component_progress() implemented for connection establishment.
- Frags have two new types for connection establishment - CONN_SEND and
CONN_RECV.
- Many other minor cleanups not affecting functionality

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
