c84c05bab7 ompi/comm: fix comm_[i]dup on intracommunicators
The behavior of ompi_comm_set was changed to get the remote size from
the remote group. This broke how ompi_comm_[i]dup were using
ompi_comm_set. In order to adapt to the new behavior these functions
now pass NULL for the remote group if the communicator is not an
inter-communicator.

This commit updates the behavior of ompi_comm_set to explicitly take
either local/remote group(s) OR local/remote array(s). If array(s) are
in use the sizes will be taken from the appropriate group(s).

c45789a222 ompi/comm: improve comm_split_type scalability
This commit includes two changes. First, the locality code has been
factored out to improve readability and maintainability. Second,
instead of looking up each proc using ompi_group_peer_lookup the code
now uses ompi_group_peer_lookup_existing. The code falls back on modex
if a proc doesn't exist. This will prevent MPI_Comm_split_type from
allocating ompi_proc_t's for every process in the job.

5b7943db78 ompi/group: do not allocate ompi_proc_t's on group union/difference
This commit modifies the ompi_group_t union/difference code to compare/copy the
raw group values. This will either be a ompi_proc_t or a sentinel value. This
commit also adds helper functions to convert between opal process names and
sentinel values.

0bf06de3f1 group|comm: add initial support for group sentinel values
This commit modifies ompi's process list group object to support a
sentinel value for non-existant ompi_proc_t objects. The sentinel was
chosen to be the negative of the opal_process_name_t of the associated
ompi_proc_t. This takes advantage of the fact that on most (all?)
systems the top bit of a user-space pointer is never set. If this
changes then a new sentinel will be needed.

In addition this commit modifies the way ompi_mpi_comm_world is
initialized to fill in the group with sentinel values if the number of
processes exceeds the new add_procs behavior cutoff.

cf6137b530 Integrate PMIx 1.0 with OMPI.
Bring Slurm PMI-1 component online
Bring the s2 component online

Little cleanup - let the various PMIx modules set the process name during init, and then just raise it up to the ORTE level. Required as the different PMI environments all pass the jobid in different ways.

Bring the OMPI pubsub/pmi component online

Get comm_spawn working again

Ensure we always provide a cpuset, even if it is NULL

pmix/cray: adjust cray pmix component for pmix

Make changes so cray pmix can work within the integrated

OPAL_FREE_LIST_RETURN -> opal_free_list_return_st

3deda3dc82 Added several new COMM_TYPE_<> splits
Using the underlying hardware identification to split
communicators based on locality has been enabled using
the MPI_Comm_Split_Type function.

Currently implemented split's are:
  HWTHREAD
  CORE
  L1CACHE
  L2CACHE
  L3CACHE
  SOCKET
  NUMA
  NODE
  BOARD
  HOST
  CU
  CLUSTER

However only NODE is defined in the standard which is why the
remaning splits are referred to using the OMPI_ prefix instead
of the standard MPI_ prefix.

I have tested this using --without-hwloc and --with-hwloc=<path>
which both give the same output.

NOTE: I think something fishy is going on in the locality operators.
In my test-program I couldn't get the correct split on these requests:
  NUMA, SOCKET, L3CACHE
where I suspected a full communicator but only got one.

780c93ee57 Per the PR and discussion on today's telecon, extend the process name definition as a two-field struct of uint32_t's down to the OPAL layer. This resolves issues created by prior commits that impacted both heterogeneous and SPARC support. This also simplifies the OMPI code base by removing the need for frequent memcpy's when transitioning between the OMPI/ORTE layers and OPAL.
We recognize that this means other users of OPAL will need to "wrap" the opal_process_name_t if they desire to abstract it in some fashion. This is regrettable, and we are looking at possible alternatives that might mitigate that requirement. Meantime, however, we have to put the needs of the OMPI community first, and are taking this step to restore hetero and SPARC support.

aec5cd08bd Per the PMIx RFC:
WHAT:    Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
               OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
               Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
               server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
               server-to-server collectives

WHY:      We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
               and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
               requirements.

WHEN:   Mon, Aug 25

WHERE:  https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git

Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.

All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.

Accordingly, we have:

* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.

* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.

* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint

* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code

* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.

* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand

552c9ca5a0 George did the work and deserves all the credit for it. Ralph did the merge, and deserves whatever blame results from errors in it :-)
WHAT:    Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL

All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies.  This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP.  Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose.  UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs.  A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.

This commit fixes two leaks:

 - We never destructed the attributes on MPI_COMM_WORLD. All other

   ompi_comm_free which does the attribute destruction. For

As part of this work I implemented a basic request scheduler in
ompi/comm/comm_request.c. This scheduler might be useful for more
than just communicator requests and could be moved to ompi/request
if there is a demand. Otherwise I will leave it where it is.

Added a non-blocking version of ompi_comm_set to support ompi_comm_idup.
The call makes a recursive call to comm_dup and a non-blocking version
was needed. To simplify the code the blocking version calls the nonblocking
version and waits on the resulting request if one exists.

a200e4f865 As per the RFC, bring in the ORTE async progress code and the rewrite of OOB:
*** THIS RFC INCLUDES A MINOR CHANGE TO THE MPI-RTE INTERFACE ***

Note: during the course of this work, it was necessary to completely separate the MPI and RTE progress engines. There were multiple places in the MPI layer where ORTE_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION was being used. A new OMPI_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION macro was created (defined in ompi/mca/rte/rte.h) that simply cycles across opal_progress until the provided flag becomes false. Places where the MPI layer blocked waiting for RTE to complete an event have been modified to use this macro.

***************************************************************************************

I am reissuing this RFC because of the time that has passed since its original release. Since its initial release and review, I have debugged it further to ensure it fully supports tests like loop_spawn. It therefore seems ready for merge back to the trunk. Given its prior review, I have set the timeout for one week.

The code is in  https://bitbucket.org/rhc/ompi-oob2


WHAT:    Rewrite of ORTE OOB

WHY:       Support asynchronous progress and a host of other features

WHEN:    Wed, August 21

SYNOPSIS:
The current OOB has served us well, but a number of limitations have been identified over the years. Specifically:

* it is only progressed when called via opal_progress, which can lead to hangs or recursive calls into libevent (which is not supported by that code)

* we've had issues when multiple NICs are available as the code doesn't "shift" messages between transports - thus, all nodes had to be available via the same TCP interface.

* the OOB "unloads" incoming opal_buffer_t objects during the transmission, thus preventing use of OBJ_RETAIN in the code when repeatedly sending the same message to multiple recipients

* there is no failover mechanism across NICs - if the selected NIC (or its attached switch) fails, we are forced to abort

* only one transport (i.e., component) can be "active"


The revised OOB resolves these problems:

* async progress is used for all application processes, with the progress thread blocking in the event library

* each available TCP NIC is supported by its own TCP module. The ability to asynchronously progress each module independently is provided, but not enabled by default (a runtime MCA parameter turns it "on")

* multi-address TCP NICs (e.g., a NIC with both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, or with virtual interfaces) are supported - reachability is determined by comparing the contact info for a peer against all addresses within the range covered by the address/mask pairs for the NIC.

* a message that arrives on one TCP NIC is automatically shifted to whatever NIC that is connected to the next "hop" if that peer cannot be reached by the incoming NIC. If no TCP module will reach the peer, then the OOB attempts to send the message via all other available components - if none can reach the peer, then an "error" is reported back to the RML, which then calls the errmgr for instructions.

* opal_buffer_t now conforms to standard object rules re OBJ_RETAIN as we no longer "unload" the incoming object

* NIC failure is reported to the TCP component, which then tries to resend the message across any other available TCP NIC. If that doesn't work, then the message is given back to the OOB base to try using other components. If all that fails, then the error is reported to the RML, which reports to the errmgr for instructions

* obviously from the above, multiple OOB components (e.g., TCP and UD) can be active in parallel

* the matching code has been moved to the RML (and out of the OOB/TCP component) so it is independent of transport

* routing is done by the individual OOB modules (as opposed to the RML). Thus, both routed and non-routed transports can simultaneously be active

* all blocking send/recv APIs have been removed. Everything operates asynchronously.


KNOWN LIMITATIONS:

* although provision is made for component failover as described above, the code for doing so has not been fully implemented yet. At the moment, if all connections for a given peer fail, the errmgr is notified of a "lost connection", which by default results in termination of the job if it was a lifeline

* the IPv6 code is present and compiles, but is not complete. Since the current IPv6 support in the OOB doesn't work anyway, I don't consider this a blocker

* routing is performed at the individual module level, yet the active routed component is selected on a global basis. We probably should update that to reflect that different transports may need/choose to route in different ways

* obviously, not every error path has been tested nor necessarily covered

* determining abnormal termination is more challenging than in the old code as we now potentially have multiple ways of connecting to a process. Ideally, we would declare "connection failed" when *all* transports can no longer reach the process, but that requires some additional (possibly complex) code. For now, the code replicates the old behavior only somewhat modified - i.e., if a module sees its connection fail, it checks to see if it is a lifeline. If so, it notifies the errmgr that the lifeline is lost - otherwise, it notifies the errmgr that a non-lifeline connection was lost.

* reachability is determined solely on the basis of a shared subnet address/mask - more sophisticated algorithms (e.g., the one used in the tcp btl) are required to handle routing via gateways

* the RML needs to assign sequence numbers to each message on a per-peer basis. The receiving RML will then deliver messages in order, thus preventing out-of-order messaging in the case where messages travel across different transports or a message needs to be redirected/resent due to failure of a NIC

5fae72b9aa Add the MPI 2.2 MPI_Dist_graph functionality.
This patch reshape the way we deal with topologies completely. Where
our topologies were mainly storage components (they were not capable
of creating the new communicator), the new version is built around a
[possibly] common representation (in mca/topo/topo.h), but the functions
to attach and retrieve the topological information are specific to each
component. As a result the ompi_create_cart and ompi_create_graph functions
become useless and have been removed.

In addition to adding the internal infrastructure to manage the topology
information, it updates the MPI interface, and the debuggers support and
provides all Fortran interfaces.

1c281a224c Cleanup the communicator cid allocation function. The value of the old_com
that has been temporarily stored in the communicator_array should be removed
or the finalization will segfault (the same communicator will be released
twice).
