communicator that we created has a lower CID than the parent comm. This can
happen when using the hierarch collective communication module or for
inter-communicators (since we make a duplicate of the original communicator).
This is not a problem as long as the user calls MPI_Comm_free on the parent
communicator. However, if the communicators are not freed by the user but
released by Open MPI in MPI_Finalize, we walk through the list of still
available communicators and free them one by one. Thus, local_comm is freed
before the actual inter-communicator. However, the local_comm pointer in the
inter communicator will still contain the 'previous' address of the local_comm
and thus this will lead to a segmentation violation. In order to prevent that
from happening, we increase the reference counter local_comm by one if its CID
is lower than the parent. We cannot increase however its reference counter if
the CID of local_comm is larger than the CID of the inter communicators, since
a regular MPI_Comm_free would leave in that the case the local_comm hanging
around and thus we would not recycle CID's properly, which was the reason and
the cause for this trouble.

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.

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)

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.

deactivated by default. It is activated by setting either of the
following two MCA parameters to values greater than 0:
* coll_sync_barrier_before
* coll_sync_barrier_after
If !_before is >0, then the sync coll collective will insert itself
before the underlying collective operations and invoke a barrier
before every Nth barrier (N == coll_sync_barrier_before). Similar for
!_after. Note that N is a _per communicator_ value; not global to the
MPI process.
If both are 0 (which is the default), this component returns NULL for
the comm query, meaning that it is not insertted into the coll module
stack.
The intent of this component is to provide a a workaround for
applications with large numbers of collectives of short messages that
can cause unbounded unexpected messages. Specifically, it is possible
for some iterative collective communication patterns to cause
unbounded unexpected messages. Forcing a barrier before or after
every Nth collective operation would prevent that behavior by forcing
applications to synchronize (and thereby consume any outstanding
unexpected messages caused by collectives on the same communicator).
Open MPI still needs to bound unexpected messages resource consumption
at the receiver, but this is a viable workaround for at least some
symptoms of the problem.
Additionally, there has been anecdotal evidence of some applications
that "perfom better" when they put barriers after other collective
operations. This could be due to many factors -- including shortening
the unexpected message queue. Putting this component in Open MPI
allows people to try this with their own applications and give real
world feedback on this kind of behavior.

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.

* New "op" MPI layer framework
* Addition of the MPI_REDUCE_LOCAL proposed function (for MPI-2.2)
= Op framework =
Add new "op" framework in the ompi layer. This framework replaces the
hard-coded MPI_Op back-end functions for (MPI_Op, MPI_Datatype) tuples
for pre-defined MPI_Ops, allowing components and modules to provide
the back-end functions. The intent is that components can be written
to take advantage of hardware acceleration (GPU, FPGA, specialized CPU
instructions, etc.). Similar to other frameworks, components are
intended to be able to discover at run-time if they can be used, and
if so, elect themselves to be selected (or disqualify themselves from
selection if they cannot run). If specialized hardware is not
available, there is a default set of functions that will automatically
be used.
This framework is ''not'' used for user-defined MPI_Ops.
The new op framework is similar to the existing coll framework, in
that the final set of function pointers that are used on any given
intrinsic MPI_Op can be a mixed bag of function pointers, potentially
coming from multiple different op modules. This allows for hardware
that only supports some of the operations, not all of them (e.g., a
GPU that only supports single-precision operations).
All the hard-coded back-end MPI_Op functions for (MPI_Op,
MPI_Datatype) tuples still exist, but unlike coll, they're in the
framework base (vs. being in a separate "basic" component) and are
automatically used if no component is found at runtime that provides a
module with the necessary function pointers.
There is an "example" op component that will hopefully be useful to
those writing meaningful op components. It is currently
.ompi_ignore'd so that it doesn't impinge on other developers (it's
somewhat chatty in terms of opal_output() so that you can tell when
its functions have been invoked). See the README file in the example
op component directory. Developers of new op components are
encouraged to look at the following wiki pages:

framework pretty easy -- you can do it in serial rather than via
parallel reductions). There's even a man page!

there is right now always the trade-off between using non-blocking operations

algorithms in a blocking manner.
- bcast_intra_seg used the bcast of lcomm and llcomm, similarly
to original algorithm in hierarch. However, it can segment
the message, such that we might get an overlap between the two
layers. This overlap is based on the assumption, that a process
might be done early with a bcast and can start the next one.

hierarch disables itself now if the pml module used is *not* ob1. The reason
is, that the multi-level hierarchy detection algorithm checks the names of the
btl modules used. In case there are no btl's, we would segfault.
Furthermore, three minor changes:
- the 2-level hierarchy detection is now the default (sm vs. everything else
in the world).
- add udapl to the list of protocols checked for by the multi-level hierarch detection
- some of the verbose statements of hierarch were inaccurate. Fixed those comments/messages.

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.

= 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.

yesterday. This actually exposed a very, very long-standing bug where
part of the coll base was incorrectly checking the coll API version
against the MCA API version. When coll went to v1.1 (yesterday) and
was no longer the same as the MCA v1.0, the test started failing.
This commit fixes to check for v1.1 everywhere in the coll base, and
to ensure to check coll framework/API version numbers against coll
framework/API version numbers (vs. against the MCA API version
number).

- adding linear algorithm with synchronization for gather.
This algorithm prevents congestion at root process, but introduces
synchronization (serializes non-root processes, but allows messages
to arrive from two processes at the same time).
It performed better than binomial and linear algorithms for large message,
and intermediate and large communicator sizes.
- Updating MPI_Gather decision function to reflect performance results
from MX. I will perform more measurements though - so this one can

- Removing "small" message size limit because it really does not relate to the eager size
accross the board.
Now, the leaf nodes in generalized reduce will use blocking send (DEFAULT/ORIGINAL BEHAVIOR)
either when the maximum number of outstanding requests is 0 or
when the total number of segments is less than the maximum number of outstanding requests.
Otherwise, it will send messages using non-blocking synchronized send operation.
This commit was SVN r14572.
This "feature" is disabled by default and it should not affect the current performance.
In case when the message size is large and segment size is smaller than eager size for particular interface,
the leaf nodes in generalized reduce function can overflood parent nodes by sending all segments without
any synchronization. This can cause the parent to have HIGH number of unexpected messages (think 16MB
message with 1KB segments for example). In case of binomial algorithm root node always has at least one
child which is leaf, so this can potentially affect the root's performance significantly [Especially in
large communicators where root may have quite a few children (binomial tree for example)].
When the segment size is bigger than the eager size, rendezvous protocol ensures that this does
not happen so it is not necessary.
Originally, the problem was exposed in "infinite" bucket allocator clean up time for "small" segment sizes
(which may explain some "deadlocks" on Thunderbird tests).
To prevent this, we allow user to specify mca parameter "--mca coll_tuned_reduce_algorithm_max_requests NUM"
this limits number of outstanding messages from a leaf node in generalized reduce to the parent to NUM.
Messages are sent as non-blocking synchrnous messages, so syncronization happens at "wait" time.
The synchronization actually improved performance of pipeline and binomial algorithm for large message sizes
with 1KB segments over MX, but I need to test it some more to make sure it is consistent.
Since there is no easy way to find out what is "the eager" size for particular btl, I set the limit to 4000B.
If message/individual segment size is greater than 4000B - we will not use this feature. This variable may
or may not be exposed as mca parameter later...
I did not have any problems running it and both "default" and "synchronous" tests passed Intel Reduce* tests
up to 80 processes (over MX).

Per discussions with Brian and Ralph, make a slight correction in
where components are installed. Use $pkglibdir, not $libdir/openmpi,
so that when compiled in the orte trunk, components are installed to
the right directory (because the component search patch is checking
$pkglibdir).

Currently 3 algorithms are available:
- non-overlapping, reduce + scatterv, (works for non-commutative operations)
- recursive halving algorithm (copied from basic module)
- ring algorithm (similar to allreduce ring, for large messages)
This commit was SVN r13929.
Algorithm allows user to specify the segment size to be used for computation/communication overlap.
The additional memory requirement for the algorithm is 2 x segment size.
It performed well for (really) large message sizes over MX and it passed intel Allreduce_c and Allreduce_loc_c tests.
