- mca_base_param_file_prefix
(Default: NULL)
This is the fullname of the "-am" mpirun option. Used to specify a ':'
separated list of AMCA parameter set files.
- mca_base_param_file_path
(Default: $SYSCONFDIR/amca-param-sets/:$CWD)
The path to search for AMCA files with relative paths. A warning will be
printed if the AMCA file cannot be found.
* Added a new function "mca_base_param_recache_files" the re-reads the file
configurations. This is used internally to help bootstrap the MCA system.
* Added a new orterun/mpirun command line option '-am' that aliases for the
mca_base_param_file_prefix MCA parameter
* Exposed the opal_path_access function as it is generally useful in other
places in the code.
* New function "opal_cmd_line_make_opt_mca" which will allow you to append a
new command line option with MCA parameter identifiers to set at the same
time. Previously this could only be done at command line declaration time.
* Added a new directory under the $pkgdatadir named "amca-param-sets" where all
the 'shipped with' Open MPI AMCA parameter sets are placed. This is the first
place to search for AMCA sets with relative paths.
* An example.conf AMCA parameter set file is located in
contrib/amca-param-sets/.
* Jeff Squyres contributed an OpenIB AMCA set for benchmarking.
Note: You will need to autogen with this commit as it adds a configure param.
Sorry :(

1. if the user has specified sched_yield, we simply do what we are told
2. if they didn't specify anything, try to get the number of processors on this node. Note that we already now get the number of local procs in our job that are sharing this node - that now comes in through the proc callback and is stored in the ompi_proc_t structures.
3. if we can get the number of processors, compare that to the number of local procs from my job that are sharing my node. If the number of local procs exceeds the number of processors, then set sched_yield to true. If not, then be a hog and set sched_yield to false
4. if we can't get the number of processors, default to conservative behavior and set sched_yield to true.
Note that I have not yet dealt with the need to dynamically adjust this setting as more processes are added via comm_spawn. So far, we are *only* looking within our own job. Given that we have now moved this logic to mpi_init (and away from the orteds), it isn't yet clear to me how a process will be informed about the number of procs in *other* jobs that are also sharing this node.
Something to continue to ponder.
This commit was SVN r13430.
1. add a "cancel_operation" API to the pls components that allows orterun to demand that an orted operation (e.g., terminate_job) be immediately cancelled and abandoned.
2. changes the pls orted commands from blocking to non-blocking. This allows us to interrupt those operations should an orted be non-responsive. The change also adds an orte_abort_timeout that limits how long orterun will automatically wait for the orteds to respond - if the terminate command, for example, doesn't see orted response within that time, then we printout an appropriate error message and just give up.
3. modifies orterun to allow multiple ctrl-c's to simply abort the program even if the orteds have not responded
4. does some cleanup on the orte-level mca params so that their implementation looks a lot more like that of ompi - makes it easier to maintain. This change also includes the definition of an orte_abort_timeout struct and associated MCA param (can't have too many!) so you can set the time after which orterun gives up on waiting for orteds to respond
This needs more testing before migrating to 1.2.
This commit was SVN r13304.
1. new functionality in the pls base to check for reusable daemons and launch upon them
2. an extension of the odls API to allow each odls component to build a notify message with the "correct" data in it for adding processes to the local daemon. This means that the odls now opens components on the HNP as well as on daemons - but that's the price of allowing so much flexibility. Only the default odls has this functionality enabled - the others just return NOT_IMPLEMENTED
3. addition of a new command line option "--reuse-daemons" to orterun. The default, for now, is to NOT reuse daemons. Once we have more time to test this capability, we may choose to reverse the default. For one thing, we probably want to investigate the tradeoffs in start time for comm_spawn'd processes that reuse daemons versus launch their own. On some systems, though, having another daemon show up can cause problems - so they may want to set the default as "reuse".
This is ONLY enabled for rsh launch, at the moment. The code needing to be added to each launcher is about three lines long, so I'll be doing that as I get access to machines I can test it on.

1. use non-blocking sends to transmit commands (this was actually done in a prior commit)
2. have an "ack" message sent back from the orted when it completes the command
The latter item is the new one here. With my prior commit, it was possible for the HNP to move on to other things before the orted had completed its command. This caused the HNP to occassionally exit before the orted, thus generating "lost connection" errors. With this change, we retain the parallel nature of the command communications, but still hold the HNP at that point until the orteds are done.
Best of both worlds.
This commit was SVN r12605.
Accordingly, there are new APIs to the name service to support the ability to get a job's parent, root, immediate children, and all its descendants. In addition, the terminate_job, terminate_orted, and signal_job APIs for the PLS have been modified to accept attributes that define the extent of their actions. For example, doing a "terminate_job" with an attribute of ORTE_NS_INCLUDE_DESCENDANTS will terminate the given jobid AND all jobs that descended from it.
I have tested this capability on a MacBook under rsh, Odin under SLURM, and LANL's Flash (bproc). It worked successfully on non-MPI jobs (both simple and including a spawn), and MPI jobs (again, both simple and with a spawn).
This commit was SVN r12597.
Add some debugger output to the ODLS default component.
Modify the orted command communication system so that it is done via non-blocking sends. This removes the linearity of the transmission and improves the response time.
This commit was SVN r12585.
Add some debugging output to the ODLS default module, and the orted.
Remove the nodename data from the ODLS info report - that info is already stored in the registry by the RMAPS framework upon completing the mapping procedure.
Add another test program that does an ORTE-only dynamic spawn (gasp!). Looks just like comm_spawn - just no MPI involved.
Modify the ODLS to release the processor when we "kill" local procs in a more scalable fashion. It previously had a sleep in it that Jeff's prior commit removed. However, he introduced some Windows code into the non-Windows component (protected by "if"s, but unnecessary). This is a more general solution he proposed - included here so I could get things to compile properly.
This commit was SVN r12579.
1. Fix the "hang" condition when an application isn't found. It turned out that the ODLS had some difficulty with the process actually not having been started - hence, it never called the waitpid callback. As a result, the "terminated" trigger didn't fire, and so mpirun didn't wake up. With this change, the HNP's errmgr forces the issue by causing the trigger to fire itself when an abort condition occurs.
2. Shift the recording of the pid and the nodename from mpi_init to the orted launcher. This allows programs such as Eclipse PTP to get the pids even for non-MPI applications. In the case of bproc, the pls handles this chore since we don't use orteds in that system.
This commit was SVN r12558.
Fix the persistent daemon problem where it was exiting when a job completed. Problem was that the persistent daemon would order the job daemons to exit. They would then send an 'ack' back to the persistent daemon - but the ack consisted of an echo of the "exit" command, which was recv'd by the wrong listener who treated it as a properly sent cmd....and exited.
This commit was SVN r12243.
Also, I am no longer seeing any issue with the child job spawning its own daemons - this appears to be fixed. We still don't reuse the existing daemons, however, but that will come.
This commit was SVN r12229.
Other changes:
1. Remove the old xcpu components as they are not functional.
2. Fix a "bug" in orterun whereby we called dump_aborted_procs even when we normally terminated. There is still some kind of bug in this procedure, however, as we appear to be calling the orterun job_state_callback function every time a process terminates (instead of only once when they have all terminated). I'll continue digging into that one.
This will require an autogen/configure, I'm afraid.
This commit was SVN r11228.
Clean up the remainder of the size_t references in the runtime itself. Convert to orte_std_cntr_t wherever it makes sense (only avoid those places where the actual memory size is referenced).
Remove the obsolete oob barrier function (we actually obsoleted it a long time ago - just never bothered to clean it up).
I have done my best to go through all the components and catch everything, even if I couldn't test compile them since I wasn't on that type of system. Still, I cannot guarantee that problems won't show up when you test this on specific systems. Usually, these will just show as "warning: comparison between signed and unsigned" notes which are easily fixed (just change a size_t to orte_std_cntr_t).
In some places, people didn't use size_t, but instead used some other variant (e.g., I found several places with uint32_t). I tried to catch all of them, but...
Once we get all the instances caught and fixed, this should once and for all resolve many of the heterogeneity problems.

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)

it is possible that if the receive has been arrived the callback will
be called before recv_buffer_nb() returns. This causes deadlock
as we try to acquire the lock, but already hold it.
This was causing orterun and orteds to stall in certian situations.

caller to specify a subset of the state variables that it can can subscribe to.
This is specified with one of three special flags defined in rmgr/rmgr_types.h
This is useful when we only care about a subset of the state changes, such as
in orted which only needs to know when a job has terminated or aborted.

waiting instead for the SOH to indicate that the jobid has terminated.
In a scheduled environment, if your program has a section of MPI code
followed by a section of computation that some processes execute while
other proceses terminate normally. This patch keeps the scheduler from
terminating all of the processes and the allocation if all of the processes
on an allocated node exit well before other processes on other nodes.

- Change orte_base_infrastructre to orte_infrastructre to conform with
ompi_info's needs
- Move MCA Param registration in ORTE to a centralized function that is
called first in orte_init_stage1
- Set the infrastructre flag as an argument to orte_init
- Adjust initalization functions to properly pass down the infrastructre
flag.

Somehow, in changing over to the new MCA interfaces, the "set" part of that logic got lost, so the singleton flag was always being set. This should repair some of the anomalous behavior seen recently where the local host was always being used for an application process.

Removed the "--version" command line option, since they should
get this from ompi_info [later to be orte_info].
If we find an invalid command line option print out the help
screen before exiting.
