We were burned again by the fact that the bproc state monitor creates entries on the node segment for *all* the nodes in the cluster when it is opened during orte_init. As a result, the bjs allocator was never being called, and the system merrily assumed that *all* nodes in the cluster had been allocated to it.
To fix this, I removed a test that had been inserted into the allocation procedure that checked for a non-zero node segment. This was an old artifact - the RAS components already know that they are not to overwrite any existing node segment entries (at least, bproc does - I will check the others. For now, I just want to save the bproc fix on this machine).

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.
1. ORTE_RMAPS_DISPLAY_AT_LAUNCH: pretty-prints out the process map right before we launch so you can see where everyone is going. This is settable via the command line option "--display-map-at-launch"
2. ORTE_RMGR_STOP_AFTER_SETUP: just setup the job and then return from the spawn command.
3. ORTE_RMGR_STOP_AFTER_ALLOC: return from the rmgr.spawn call after allocating the job
4. ORTE_RMGR_STOP_AFTER_MAP: return from the rmgr.spawn call after mapping the job. This gives folks a chance to retrieve and graphically display the map, let the user edit it, and store the results. They can then call "launch" on their own and the system will use the revised map.
Enjoy! My personal favorite is the first one - helps with debugging.

- Simplified the logic of the ras modules by moving the attribute handling into the base allocation function. This allows us to decide how to allocate based on the situation, and solves some of the allocation problems we were having with comm_spawn.
- moved the proxy component into the base. This was done because we always want to call the proxy functions if we are not on a HNP regardless of the attributes passed.
- Got rid of the hostfile component. What little logic was in it was moved into the base to deal with other circumstances. The hostfile information is currently being propagated into the registry by the RDS, so we just use what is already in the registry.
- renamed some slurm function so that they have the proper prefix. Not strictly necessary as they were static, but it makes debugging much easier.
- fixed a buglet in the round_robin rmaps where we would return an error when really no error occured.
I tried to make proper corrections to all the ras modules, but I cannot test all of them.
This commit was SVN r12202.
In this implementation, we begin mapping on the first node that has at least one slot available as measured by the slots_inuse versus the soft limit. If none of the nodes meet that criterion, we just start at the beginning of the node list since we are oversubscribed anyway.
Note that we ignore this logic if the user specifies a mapping - then it's just "user beware".
The real root cause of the problem is that we don't adjust sched_yield as we add processes onto a node. Hence, the node becomes oversubscribed and performance goes into the toilet. What we REALLY need to do to solve the problem is:
(a) modify the PLS components so they reuse the existing daemons,
(b) create a way to tell a running process to adjust its sched_yield, and
(c) modify the ODLS components to update the sched_yield on a process per the new method
Until we do that, we will continue to have this problem - all this fix (and any subsequent one that focuses solely on the mapper) does is hopefully make it happen less often.
This commit was SVN r12145.
Fix the problem observed by multiple people that comm_spawned children were (once again) being mapped onto the same nodes as their parents. This was caused by going through the RAS a second time, thus overwriting the mapper's bookkeeping that told RMAPS where it had left off.
To solve this - and to continue moving forward on the ORTE development - we introduce the concept of attributes to control the behavior of the RM frameworks. I defined the attributes and a list of attributes as new ORTE data types to make it easier for people to pass them around (since they are now fundamental to the system, and therefore we will be packing and unpacking them frequently). Thus, all the functions to manipulate attributes can be implemented and debugged in one place.
I used those capabilities in two places:
1. Added an attribute list to the rmgr.spawn interface.
2. Added an attribute list to the ras.allocate interface. At the moment, the only attribute I modified the various RAS components to recognize is the USE_PARENT_ALLOCATION one (as defined in rmgr_types.h).
So the RAS components now know how to reuse an allocation. I have debugged this under rsh, but it now needs to be tested on a wider set of platforms.

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.
This commit was SVN r11204.
1. Modifies the RAS framework so it correctly stores and retrieves the actual slots in use, not just those that were allocated. Although the RAS node structure had storage for the number of slots in use, it turned out that the base function for storing and retrieving that information ignored what was in the field and simply set it equal to the number of slots allocated. This has now been fixed.
2. Modified the RMAPS framework so it updates the registry with the actual number of slots used by the mapping. Note that daemons are still NOT counted in this process as daemons are NOT mapped at this time. This will be fixed in 2.0, but will not be addressed in 1.x.
3. Added a new MCA parameter "rmaps_base_no_oversubscribe" that tells the system not to oversubscribe nodes even if the underlying environment permits it. The default is to oversubscribe if needed and the underlying environment permits it. I'm sure someone may argue "why would a user do that?", but it turns out that (looking ahead to dynamic resource reservations) sometimes users won't know how many nodes or slots they've been given in advance - this just allows them to say "hey, I'd rather not run if I didn't get enough".
4. Reorganizes the RMAPS framework to more easily support multiple components. A lot of the logic in the round_robin mapper was very valuable to any component - this has been moved to the base so others can take advantage of it.
5. Added a new test program "hello_nodename" - just does "hello_world" but also prints out the name of the node it is on.
6. Made the orte_ras_node_t object a full ORTE data type so it can more easily be copied, packed, etc. This proved helpful for the RMAPS code reorganization and might be of use elsewhere too.

The logs from this branch are much more descriptive than I will put
here (including a *really* long description from last night). Here's
the short version:
- fixed some broken implementations in ras and rmaps
- "orterun --host ..." now works and has clearly defined semantics
(this was the impetus for the branch and all these fixes -- LANL had
a requirement for --host to work for 1.0)
- there is still a little bit of cleanup left to do post-1.0 (we got
correct functionality for 1.0 -- we did not fix bad implementations
that still "work")
- rds/hostfile and ras/hostfile handshaking
- singleton node segment assignments in stage1
- remove the default hostfile (no need for it anymore with the
localhost ras component)
- clean up pls components to avoid duplicate ras mapping queries
- [possible] -bynode/-byslot being specific to a single app context

would only do slot based allocation, even if the MCA parameter was set properly.
Currently you can specify to orterun a node allocation by either:
-mca ras_base_schedule_policy node
-bynode
and slot allocation (which is the default) by:
-mca ras_base_schedule_policy slot
-byslot

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, instead of the deprecated version.
* Work around dumbness in modern AC_INIT that requires the version
number to be set at autoconf time (instead of at configure time, as
it was before). Set the version number, minus the subversion r number,
at autoconf time. Override the internal variables to include the r
number (if needed) at configure time. Basically, the right thing
should always happen. The only place it might not is the version
reported as part of configure --help will not have an r number.
* Since AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE taks a list of options, no need to specify
them in all the Makefile.am files.
* Addes support for subdir-objects, meaning that object files are put
in the directory containing source files, even if the Makefile.am is
in another directory. This should start making it feasible to
reduce the number of Makefile.am files we have in the tree, which
will greatly reduce the time to run autogen and configure.

ns_replica.c
- Removed the error logging since I use this function in orte_init_stage1 to
check if we have created a cellid yet or not.
ras_types.h & rase_base_node.h
- This was an empty file. moved the orte_ras_node_t from base/ras_base_node.h
to this file.
- Changed the name of orte_ras_base_node_t to orte_ras_node_t to match the
naming mechanisms in place.
ras.h
- Exposed 2 functions:
- node_insert:
This takes a list of orte_ras_base_node_t's and places them in the Node
Segment of the GPR. This is to be used in orte_init_stage1 for singleton
processes, and the hostfile parsing (see rds_hostfile.c). This just puts
in the appropriate API interface to keep from calling the
orte_ras_base_node_insert function directly.
- node_query:
This is used in hostfile parsing. This just puts in the appropriate API
interface to keep from calling the orte_ras_base_node_query function
directly.
- Touched all of the implemented components to add reference to these new
function pointers
ras_base_select.c & ras_base_open.c
- Add and set the global module reference
rds.h
- Exposed 1 function:
- store_resource:
This stores a list of rds_cell_desc_t's to the Resource Segment.
This is used in conjunction with the orte_ras.node_insert function in
both the orte_init_stage1 for singleton processes and rds_hostfile.c
rds_base_select.c & rds_base_open.c
- Add and set the global module reference
rds_hostfile.c
- Added functionality to create a new cellid for each hostfile, placing
each entry in the hostfile into the same cellid. Currently this is
commented out with the cellid hard coded to 0, with the intention of
taking this out once ORTE is able to handle multiple cellid's
- Instead of just adding hosts to the Node Segment via a direct call to
the ras_base_node_insert() function. First add the hosts to the Resource
Segment of the GPR using the orte_rds.store_resource() function then use
the API version of orte_ras.node_insert() to store the hosts on the Node
Segment.
- Add 1 new function pointer to module as required by the API.
rds_hostfile_component.c
- Converted this to use the new MCA parameter registration
orte_init_stage1.c
- It is possible that a cellid was not created yet for the current environment.
So I put in some logic to test if the cellid 0 existed. If it does then
continue, otherwise create the cellid so we can properly interact with the
GPR via the RDS.
- For the singleton case we insert some 'dummy' data into the GPR. The RAS
matches this logic, so I took out the duplicate GPR put logic, and
replaced it with a call to the orte_ras.node_insert() function.
- Further before calling orte_ras.node_insert() in the singleton case,
we also call orte_rds.store_resource() to add the singleton node to the
Resource Segment.
Console:
- Added a bunch of new functions. Still experimenting with many aspects of the
implementation. This is a checkpoint, and has very limited functionality.
- Should not be considered stable at the moment.
