- 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.

Update the mapper so it correctly points to the next node to be used if we are mapping by slots. As it was, if we had an app_context that used only one slot on a node, the next app_context would start on the next node - leaving a blank slot in-between.
This commit was SVN r12193.
Modify the mapper to better bookmark its stopping place each time, and to pick up the next time from there. This needs to be validated on a multi-node system.
Fix a major memory corruption problem in the registry put/get functions that was doing multiple free's. Not sure how valgrind missed this one, though it only occurred in specific circumstances (such as comm_spawn).
This commit was SVN r12179.
This change does a couple of things:
1. Since the USE_PARENT_ALLOC attribute is a directive about regarding allocation of resources to a job, it more properly should be an attribute of the RAS. Change the name to reflect that and move the attribute define to the ras_types.h file.
2. Add the attributes list to the RMAPS map_job interface. This provides us with the desired flexibility to dynamically specify directives for mapping. The system will - in the absence of any attribute-based directive - default to the values provided in the MCA parameters (either from environment or command-line interface).
This commit was SVN r12164.
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.

I have tested on rsh, slurm, bproc, and tm. Bproc continues to have a problem (will be asking for help there).
Gridengine compiles but I cannot test (believe it likely will run).
Poe and xgrid compile to the extent they can without the proper include files.

Plus a full implementation for the orte_wait functions.
This commit was SVN r11347.
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.

Update the help text to report errors when not following that rule.
Also updated the RMAPS help text to reflect the reorganization of some of the round-robin code into the base.
The new functionality has been tested under Mac OS-X and on Odin using an MPI program. Both byslot and bynode mapping have been checked and verified. Operational support for other systems needs to be verified - I respectfully request people's help in doing so.
This commit was SVN r10708.
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.

This commit was SVN r10651.
We were stuck in an infinite loop inside the rmaps round_robin
component when the user specified a host, then over subscribed it.
Instead of retuning an error, we looped forever.
For example:
$ cat hostfile
A slots=2 max-slots=2
B slots=2 max-slots=2
$ mpirun -np 3 --hostfile hostfile --host B
<hang>
The loop would not terminate because both host A and B are in the
'nodes' structure as they are both allocated to the job. However,
after allocating 2 slots to host B, we remove it from the node list
leaving us with a 'nodes' structure with just A in it. Since we can't
use host A, we keep looping here until we find a node that we can use.
This patch checks to make sure that if we get into this situation where
rmaps is looping over the list a second time without finding a node
during the first pass then we know that there are no nodes left to
use, so we have a resource allocation error, and should return to the user.
This patch should be moved to all of the release branches

- 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)

(where "." is a trunk checkout)
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
This commit was SVN r7664.
- change the framework opens to [mostly] use the new MCA param API
- properly pass in framework debug output streams to the
mca_base_component_open() function
This commit was SVN r6888.
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.

his e-mail:
I ran into a small bug in rmaps_rr.c: map_app_by_slot which was
triggered by using multiple app contexts. Basically, if not all the
slots we allocated on a node were used by an app, we would
automatically move onto the next node. This caused a problem with
multiple app contexts when the first app takes a partial allocation of
a node, the second app would not be able to access these slots because
we had already move past the node, and the byslot routine does not
wrap back around the list.
