y combination of comma-separated values and ranges. Daemons will use the first port in the range, MPI procs will use the other ports in the range assuming that they know their node rank in time and enough ports were specified.
NOTE: this capability only works under specific conditions. I will outline more about this in a note to devel as the remainder of the implementation progresses. For now, the only environment where this works is slurm. The linear routed module has also been adjusted to work with static ports so that all messaging flows strictly through the topology, including the initial daemon callback - thus limiting the number of sockets opened by mpirun.
This commit was SVN r20390.
1. remove direct routed module (hooray!)
2. add radix tree routed module (binomial remains default)
3. remove duplicate data storage - orteds were storing nidmap and pidmap data in odls, everyone else in ess
4. add ess APIs to update nidmap, add new pidmap - used only by orteds for MPI-2 support
5. modify code to eliminate multiple calls to orte_routed.update_route that recreated info already in ess pidmap. Add ess API to lookup that info instead. Modify routed modules to utilize that capability
6. setup new ability to shutdown orteds without sending back an "ack" message to mpirun - not utilized yet, will require some changes to plm terminate_orteds functions in managed environments (coming soon)
Initial tests indicating that fully routing comm via defined routing trees may not actually have a significant cost for operations like IB QP setup. More tests required to confirm.
This will require an autogen...

This commit was SVN r18664.
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.
This commit was SVN r18434.
Update the rsh tree spawn capability so we spawn the next wave of daemons before launching our own local procs.
Add an ability to encode nodenames for large clusters with contiguous node name numbering schemes - this allows communication of all node names in a few bytes instead of tens-of-bytes/node.
This commit was SVN r18338.
The problem was caused by a bad ordering between the restart of the ORTE level tcp connections (in the OOB - out-of-band communication) and the Open MPI level tcp connections (BTLs). Before this commit ORTE would shutdown and restart the OOB completely before the OMPI level restarted its tcp connections. What would happen is that a socket descriptor used by the OMPI level on checkpoint was assigned to the ORTE level on restart. But the OMPI level had no knowledge that the socket descriptor it was previously using has been recycled so it closed it on restart. This caused the ORTE level to break as the newly created socket descriptor was closed without its knowledge.
The fix is to have the OMPI level shutdown tcp connections, allow the ORTE level to restart, and then allow the OMPi level to restart its connections. This seems obvious, and I'm surprised that this bug has not cropped up sooner. I'm confident that this specific problem has been fixed with this commit.
Thanks to Eric Roman and Tamer El Sayed for their help in identifying this problem, and patience while I was fixing it.
* Add a new state {{{OPAL_CRS_RESTART_PRE}}}. This state identifies when we are on the down slope of the INC (finalize-like) which is useful when you want to close, but not reopen a component set for fear of interfering with a lower level.
* Use this new state in OMPI level coordination. Here we want to make sure to play well with both the OMPI/BTL/TCP and ORTE/OOB/TCP components.
* Update ft_event functions in PML and BML to handle the new restart state.
* Add an additional flag to the error output in OOB/TCP so we can see what the socket descriptor was on failure as this can be helpful in debugging.

Like btl_tcp_disable_family, this parameter more or less disables
a whole address family. Though the sockets are still created, the
corresponding information isn't added to the connection strings.
Likewise, we don't try to connect to addresses matching the disabled
address family.
This is particularly important for multidomain clusters, where IPv4 is
oftenly filtered (firewalled), sometimes by simply dropping the packets
instead of rejecting them (thus causing a connection timeout instead of
a quick "no route to host").
This commit was SVN r18163.
Specifically, add two new APIs:
1. lost_route: allows the OOB to report that a connection has failed, thereby giving the routed module an opportunity to respond appropriately to its topology. Creating the API also allows each routed component to hold its own definition of "lifeline" - in some cases, this may be a single connection, but in others it may be multiple connections. Some modules may choose to re-route messaging if the lifeline or any other connection is lost, while others may choose to abort the job.
Both the tree and unity modules retain the current behavior and abort the job if the lifeline connection is lost, while ignoring other lost connections.
2. get_wireup_info: returns (in a provided buffer) info required to wireup connections for the specified job. Some routed modules do not need to return any info as they can wireup via alternative means, while some need to xchg data with their peers. If info is inserted into the buffer, the plm_base_launch_apps function will xcast the contents to the specified job.
The commit also removes the "lifeline" entry from the orte_process_info struct (and the associated ORTE_PROC_MY_LIFELINE definition) as the lifeline info is now contained within the respective routed module.
This commit was SVN r17969.
This has been a long-time problem. I tried to reduce the problem by having the orteds tell the HNP they were finalizing, and having the HNP wait until all orteds had reported or we timed out.
What was observed was that all the orteds were correctly reporting that they are leaving, but the HNP is able to exit before the orteds, thus closing the orteds lifeline socket and generating the error output. This is caused by the fact that the orteds have to whack all remaining session directories, which includes that blasted monster shared memory file! Cleaning up the SM file can take quite a while.
The HNP doesn't have that problem as there is no SM file there! So it gets out first.
What we had done in the past to resolve that problem was put a little test in the OOB that checks to see if we are finalizing. If we are, then we ignore the lifeline connection being lost. That check was still in the code - however, we had lost the line in orte_finalize that set the flag!!
This commit was SVN r17893.
This commit adds definition for a "lifeline" connection. For an HNP, there is no lifeline, so the lifeline proc is NULL. For a daemon, the lifeline is the HNP - the daemon should abort if it loses that connection.
For a proc using unity routed, the lifeline is the HNP since it connects directly to the HNP.
For a proc using tree routed, the lifeline is the local daemon.
Adjusted OOB to call abort if the lifeline (as opposed to HNP) connection is lost.
