However, tools such as mpirun don't need it, and definitely shouldn't be using it. Ditto for procs launched by mpirun.
We used to have a way of dealing with this - we had the PMI component check to see if the process was the HNP or was launched by an HNP. Sadly, moving the OPAL db framework removed
that ability as OPAL has no notion of HNPs or proc type.
So add a boolean flag to the db_base_select API that allows us to restrict selection to "local" components. This gives the PMI component the ability to reject itself as required. W
e then need to pass that param into the ess_base_std_app call so it can pass it all down.

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().
opal: update core and components to mca_base_var system
orte: update core and components to mca_base_var system
ompi: update core and components to mca_base_var system
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.
This commit was SVN r28236.
Update all the orte ess components to remove their associated APIs for retrieving proc data. Update the grpcomm API to reflect transfer of set/get modex info to the db framework.
Note that this doesn't recreate the old GPR. This is strictly a local db storage that may (at some point) obtain any missing data from the local daemon as part of an async methodology. The framework allows us to experiment with such methods without perturbing the default one.

* 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.
Roll in the ORTE state machine. Remove last traces of opal_sos. Remove UTK epoch code.
Please see the various emails about the state machine change for details. I'll send something out later with more info on the new arch.
This commit was SVN r26242.
Note: I am working on a system that buffered all output until the application fishished due to a default of 'fully buffered.' This makes debugging painful. This switch fixed the problem by allowing me to adjust the buffering.
This commit was SVN r26119.
Use hwloc to obtain the cpuset for each process during mpi_init, and share that info in the modex. As it arrives, use a new opal_hwloc_base utility function to parse the value against the local proc's cpuset and determine where they overlap. Cache the value in the pmap object as it may be referenced multiple times.
Thus, the return value from orte_ess.proc_get_locality is a 16-bit bitmask that describes the resources being shared with you. This bitmask can be tested using the macros in opal/mca/paffinity/paffinity.h
Locality is available for all procs, whether launched via mpirun or directly with an external launcher such as slurm or aprun.
This commit was SVN r25331.
To enable the epochs and the resilient orte code, use the configure flag:
--enable-resilient-orte
This will define both:
ORTE_ENABLE_EPOCH
ORTE_RESIL_ORTE
This commit was SVN r25093.
Add a new tm ess module that exploits this capability.
Update the various plm modules to enable it - just a minor change reflecting an added param to a plm base function.
Additional fixes included:
1. remove an erroneous cleanup of session directories in the tool finalize procedure - tools don't create session directories to begin with!
2. fix a duplicate free when attempting to execute a non-existent app
3. cleanup an typo in the comm utilities
4. fix comm_spawn - was perturbed by the changes in pack/unpack of orte_job_t to properly support orte-ps
Been tested on slurm and tm machines, using all tests in orte/test/mpi. May run into issue with command line length on large jobs due to inclusion of node info to support static ports - will fix this next with addition of regexp generator to compress that info.
This commit was SVN r21248.
This causes the orteds in the routing tree to remain alive until all termination "acks" from orteds below them have passed through. Thus, if we use static ports, we no longer require a direct orted-to-mpirun connection.
Also modify the binomial routed module so it conforms to what all the other routed modules do and have all messages pass along the routing tree instead of short-circuiting between orteds. This further reduces the number of ports being opened on backend nodes.
This commit was SVN r21203.
- Delete unnecessary header files using
contrib/check_unnecessary_headers.sh after applying
patches, that include headers, being "lost" due to
inclusion in one of the now deleted headers...
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...)
- To get different MCAs (OpenIB, TM, ALPS), an earlier version was
successfully compiled (yesterday) on:
Linux locally using intel-11, gcc-4.3.2 and gcc-SVN + warnings enabled
Smoky cluster (x86-64 running Linux) using PGI-8.0.2 + warnings enabled
Lens cluster (x86-64 running Linux) using Pathscale-3.2 + warnings enabled

Consolidate the nid/pid lookup code with the rest of the nid/pid code so that changes are easier to track. Add the ability to send cluster profile info as part of the nidmap. Cleanup the setup and teardown of the new global nidmap and pidmap objects.
This commit was SVN r20219.
This commit does that by ensuring that daemons retain knowledge of proc location for all procs in their job family. It required a minor change to the ESS API to allow the daemons to update their pidmaps as data was received. In addition, the routed modules have been updated to take advantage of the newly available info, and the encode/decode pidmap utilities have been updated to communicate the required info in the launch message.
This commit was SVN r20022.
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 r19866.
1. repair of the linear and direct routed modules
2. repair of the ompi/pubsub/orte module to correctly init routes to the ompi-server, and correctly handle failure to correctly parse the provided ompi-server URI
3. modification of orterun to accept both "file" and "FILE" for designating where the ompi-server URI is to be found - purely a convenience feature
4. resolution of a message ordering problem during the connect/accept handshake that allowed the "send-first" proc to attempt to send to the "recv-first" proc before the HNP had actually updated its routes.
Let this be a further reminder to all - message ordering is NOT guaranteed in the OOB
5. Repair the ompi/dpm/orte module to correctly init routes during connect/accept.
Reminder to all: messages sent to procs in another job family (i.e., started by a different mpirun) are ALWAYS routed through the respective HNPs. As per the comments in orte/routed, this is REQUIRED to maintain connect/accept (where only the root proc on each side is capable of init'ing the routes), allow communication between mpirun's using different routing modules, and to minimize connections on tools such as ompi-server. It is all taken care of "under the covers" by the OOB to ensure that a route back to the sender is maintained, even when the different mpirun's are using different routed modules.
6. corrections in the orte/odls to ensure proper identification of daemons participating in a dynamic launch
7. corrections in build/nidmap to support update of an existing nidmap during dynamic launch
8. corrected implementation of the update_arch function in the ESS, along with consolidation of a number of ESS operations into base functions for easier maintenance. The ability to support info from multiple jobs was added, although we don't currently do so - this will come later to support further fault recovery strategies
9. minor updates to several functions to remove unnecessary and/or no longer used variables and envar's, add some debugging output, etc.
10. addition of a new macro ORTE_PROC_IS_DAEMON that resolves to true if the provided proc is a daemon
There is still more cleanup to be done for efficiency, but this at least works.
Tested on single-node Mac, multi-node SLURM via odin. Tests included connect/accept, publish/lookup/unpublish, comm_spawn, comm_spawn_multiple, and singleton comm_spawn.
Fixes ticket #1256
This commit was SVN r18804.
Some minor changes to help facilitate debugger support so that both mpirun and yod can operate with it. Still to be completed.
This commit was SVN r18664.
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.
