= 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.

(sometimes after the merge with the ORTE branch), the opal_pointer_array
will became the only pointer_array implementation (the orte_pointer_array
will be removed).

allocated from mpool memory (which is registered memory for RDMA transports)
This is not a problem for a small jobs, but for a big number of ranks an
amount of waisted memory is big.

* Make sure that the pval always writes to the correct portion of the
lval. This only matters on 32 bit big endian machines.
* On 32 bit machines when assigning to pval, the other 4 bytes of lval
weren't being written, which could lead to bogus data
We use macros so that there aren't casts all over the code and the pval
assignment can occur to the correct 4 bytes. Refs trac:587

udapl/openib/vapi/gm mpools a deprecated. rdma mpool has parameter that allows
to limit its size mpool_rdma_rcache_size_limit (default is 0 - unlimited).

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).

I've introduced a race condition - seeing occasional LOCAL_LENGTH errors on the receive side. I think I'm mixing up eager/max somehow - will look at it more on monday.
This commit was SVN r10690.
1. ompi/mca/btl/udapl/btl_udapl_proc.c should be including
btl_udapl_endpoint.h for mca_btl_udapl_proc_insert function.
2. btl_udapl_endpoint.c it looks like you are using
&endpoint->endpoint_lock when you should use &ep->endpoint_lock in a
OPAL_THREAD_LOCK call.
3. btl_udapl_frag.h has a couple opal_list_item_t's that should be
ompi_free_list_item_t in the _FRAG_ALLOC_{EAGER,MAX} macros.
This commit was SVN r10442.
- Added some basic flow control to limit number of posted sends.
- Merged endpoint send/recv lock into single endpoint lock.
- Set the LMR triplet length in the send path, not at allocation time.
This has to be done because upper layers might send less than the
amount allocated.
- Alter the tie-breaker if statement protecting the second call
to dat_ep_connect(). The logic was reversed compared to the tie-
breaker for the first dat_ep_connect(), making it possible for
3 or more processes to form a deadlock loop.
- Some asserts were added for debugging purposes.. leaving them
in place for now.
This commit was SVN r10317.
Trying to remember what I did here.. eager/max messages should work now, no RDMA yet. A number of other fixes and cleanups.
I do know of two problems:
Bad stuff happens when flooded with send frags too quickly - the BTL doesn't handle flow control.
Certain IBM tests turn up a length assertion in the datatype engine - needs more investigation.
This commit was SVN r10070.
- Some initial work on prepare_src
- Move some fragment initialization around
- Fix a union casting issue on picky compilers, identified by Don Kerr
- Other small cleanups/bugfixes
This commit was SVN r9662.
we send our local addr_t OOB. Remote side then matches endpoints and calls
dat_ep_connect(). Everything should be the same as before from here, except
that client/server roles are reversed.
- Properly set our buffer size when posting receives. When the frag used to
transfer address information is recycled by the free list, the wrong buffer
size was being used, which caused buffer overflow errors.
- Finally put the uDAPL error handling stuff in the mpool component.
- Remove a few more OPAL_OUTPUTs.
This commit was SVN r9569.
Not much got tested that wasn't already - I've uncovered a connection
establishment deadlock and wanted to get these changes committed before I
attack it.
The big changes:
- Moved much of the connection code from btl_udapl_component.c to
btl_udapl_endpoint.c.
- Cleaned up initialization of various fragment members.
- MCA_BTL_UDAPL_ERROR macro, which is compiled in/out appropriately.
This commit was SVN r9496.
- Grab the mpool_registration in _frag_common_constructor()
- Save the LMR context in the segment key
- No need for cookie variables - can just cast the frag
- No need to memcpy() data when recv'ing
- Add an LMR triplet to the fragment structure and initialize it
in btl_udapl_alloc().
- Whitespace/typo fixes, remove some opal_output() calls
Looks like I can use triplets describing sub-regions of registered LMR's. So I
do this - prior to this patch I was sending the entire free list memory over,
which isn't correct :)
Back to an earlier problem - when sending address information right after
connection establishment, the receiving end receives a DTO completion event and
appears to have good data. But the sending end never receives a DTO completion
event indicating the send completed, and never completes the client side of the
connection.
This commit was SVN r9386.
In short, I'm very close to having connection establishment and eager send/recv working.
Part of the connection process involves sending address information from the
client to server. For some reason, I am never receiving an event indicating
completetion of the send on the client side. Otherwise, connection
establishment is working and eager send/recv should be trivial from here.
Some more detailed changes:
- Send partially implemented, just handles starting up new connections.
- Several support functions implemented for establishing connection. Client
side code went in btl_udapl_endpoint.c, server side in btl_udapl_component.c
- Frags list and send/recv locks added to the endpoint structure.
- BTL sets up a public service point, which listens for new connections.
Steps over ports that are already bound, iterating through a range of ports.
- Remove any traces of recv frags, don't think I need them after all.
- Pieces of component_progress() implemented for connection establishment.
- Frags have two new types for connection establishment - CONN_SEND and
CONN_RECV.
- Many other minor cleanups not affecting functionality
This commit was SVN r9345.
- 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)
This commit was SVN r8985.
- Start filling in the progress function, focusing on connection establishment.
- Initialize udapl mpool and free lists
- Create/destroy a protection zone with each IA
- Misc organization as I learn how things work
