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
ompi/pmix framework.

Bring singletons back online. Implement the comm_spawn operation using pmix - not tested yet

Cleanup comm_spawn - procs now starting, error in connect_accept

Complete integration

4853457b93 The RML posted recvs are controlled by the async progress thread when in an application process. The call to finalize and close the RML is done from the main thread, and so we need to shift the actual destruct of the posted recv list to the async thread for handling or else we encounter a race condition when accessing the posted recvs.
Thanks to Gilles for providing the required debug info

b5382c9bf9 Rework the OOB selection logic to allow a component (e.g., usock) to direct that it be the sole active component. Remove prior disqualifying code in the oob/tcp component as it was too restrictive - if usock wasn't able to run, it left apps with no way to communicate to their daemon. Have the local daemon check the global modex for the RML URI info of the local procs so it can route messages between them when tcp is the primary channel.
A few other minor cleanups included.

This commit adds support for project_framework_component_* parameter
matching. This is the first step in allowing the same framework name
in multiple projects. This change also bumps the MCA component version
to 2.1.0.

All master frameworks have been updated to use the new component

This commit adds an owner file in each of the component directories
for each framework.  This allows for a simple script to parse
the contents of the files and generate, among other things, tables
to be used on the project's wiki page.  Currently there are two

the files and generate tables for the wiki page will be added
in a subsequent commit.

2809c21e0f rml/oob: check peer param in send methods
The rml/oob was not doing sanity checks on the input peer
parameter for the orte_rml_oob_send_nb and orte_rml_oob_send_buffer_nd.
Owing to the fact that there are places in the ompi/orte stack
where things like orte_show_help_norender are called way before
ORTE_PROC_MY_HNP, are setup properly, all kinds of weird
startup failures can occur as the rml/oob tries to process send
requests where the peer is junk.

Rather than try to expand this kind of thing:

    /* if we are the HNP, or the RML has not yet been setup,
     * or ROUTED has not been setup,
     * or we weren't given an HNP, or we are running in standalone
     * mode, then all we can do is process this locally
     */
    if (ORTE_PROC_IS_HNP || orte_standalone_operation ||
        NULL == orte_rml.send_buffer_nb ||
        NULL == orte_routed.get_route ||
        NULL == orte_process_info.my_hnp_uri) {
        rc = show_help(filename, topic, output, ORTE_PROC_MY_NAME);
    }

do the right thing in the rml level and return an error rather than
eventually failing in the send owing to peer not being valid.

8ffad75a0a Introduce timing interval measurement facility in timing framework 2014-12-10 16:47:49 +06:00
Ralph Castain
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

This will only appear in ORTE-based installations, but it is only being used by a couple of researchers at the moment.
Update the orte/test/mpi/coll_test.c test to show the revised example.

42bf7466fc This isn't as big a change as it appears - a change in one place caused a whole bunch of files to require updated #include's due to some arcane linkage. Rework the orte_wait code to reflect the introduction of the state machine. If we are in cleanup mode and just want to kill all our local children, then there is no reason to be polite about it as that introduces *very* long delays at scale. Just kill the procs and move on.

286ff6d552 For large scale systems, we would like to avoid doing a full modex during MPI_Init so that launch will scale a little better. At the moment, our options are somewhat limited as only a few BTLs don't immediately call modex_recv on all procs during startup. However, for those situations where someone can take advantage of it, add the ability to do a "modex on demand" retrieval of data from remote procs when we launch via mpirun.
NOTE: launch performance will be absolutely awful if you do this with BTLs that aren't configured to modex_recv on first message!

Even with "modex on demand", we still have to do a barrier in place of the modex - we simply don't move any data around, which does reduce the time impact. The barrier is required to ensure that the other proc has in fact registered all its BTL info and therefore is prepared to hand over a complete data package. Otherwise, you may not get the info you need. In addition, the shared memory BTL can fail to properly rendezvous as it expects the barrier to be in place.

This behavior will *only* take effect under the following conditions:

1. launched via mpirun

2. #procs is greater than ompi_hostname_cutoff, which defaults to UINT32_MAX

3. mca param rte_orte_direct_modex is set to 1. At the moment, we are having problems getting this param to register properly, so only the first two conditions are in effect. Still, the bottom line is you have to *want* this behavior to get it.

The planned next evolution of this will be to make the direct modex be non-blocking - this will require two fixes:

1. if the remote proc doesn't have the required info, then let it delay its response until it does. This means we need a way for the MPI layer to tell the RTE "I am done entering modex data".

2. adjust the SM rendezvous logic to loop until the required file has been created

Creating a placeholder to bring this over to 1.7.5 when ready.

497c7e6abb Fixes trac:2904
The intercomm "merge" function can create a linkage between procs that was not reflected anywhere in a modex, and so at least some of the procs in the resulting communicator don't know how to talk to some of the new communicator's peers.

For example, consider the case where:

1. parent job A comm_spawns a process (job B) - these processes exchange modex and can communicate

2. parent job A now comm_spawns another process (job C) - again, these can communicate, but the proc in C knows nothing of B

3. do an intercomm merge across the communicators created by the two comm_spawns. This puts B and C into the same communicator, but they know nothing about how to talk to each other as they were not involved in any exchange of contact info. Hence, collectives on that communicator now fail. 

This fix adds an API to the ompi/dpm framework that (a) exchanges the modex info across the procs in the merge to ensure all procs know how to communicate, and (b) calls add_procs to give the btl's a chance to select transports to any new procs.

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

611d7f9f6b When we direct launch an application, we rely on PMI for wireup support. In doing so, we lose the de facto data compression we get from the ORTE modex since we no longer get all the wireup info from every proc in a single blob. Instead, we have to iterate over all the procs, calling PMI_KVS_get for every value we require.
This creates a really bad scaling behavior. Users have found a nearly 20% launch time differential between mpirun and PMI, with PMI being the slower method. Some of the problem is attributable to poor exchange algorithms in RM's like Slurm and Alps, but we make things worse by calling "get" so many times.

Nathan (with a tad advice from me) has attempted to alleviate this problem by reducing the number of "get" calls. This required the following changes:

* upon first request for data, have the OPAL db pmi component fetch and decode *all* the info from a given remote proc. It turned out we weren't caching the info, so we would continually request it and only decode the piece we needed for the immediate request. We now decode all the info and push it into the db hash component for local storage - and then all subsequent retrievals are fulfilled locally

* reduced the amount of data by eliminating the exchange of the OMPI_ARCH value if heterogeneity is not enabled. This was used solely as a check so we would error out if the system wasn't actually homogeneous, which was fine when we thought there was no cost in doing the check. Unfortunately, at large scale and with direct launch, there is a non-zero cost of making this test. We are open to finding a compromise (perhaps turning the test off if requested?), if people feel strongly about performing the test

* reduced the amount of RTE data being automatically fetched, and fetched the rest only upon request. In particular, we no longer immediately fetch the hostname (which is only used for error reporting), but instead get it when needed. Likewise for the RML uri as that info is only required for some (not all) environments. In addition, we no longer fetch the locality unless required, relying instead on the PMI clique info to tell us who is on our local node (if additional info is required, the fetch is performed when a modex_recv is issued).

Again, all this only impacts direct launch - all the info is provided when launched via mpirun as there is no added cost to getting it

Barring objections, we may move this (plus any required other pieces) to the 1.7 branch once it soaks for an appropriate time.
