Add a framework to support different types of threading models including
user space thread packages such as Qthreads and argobot:
https://github.com/pmodels/argobotshttps://github.com/Qthreads/qthreads
The default threading model is pthreads. Alternate thread models are
specificed at configure time using the --with-threads=X option.
The framework is static. The theading model to use is selected at
Open MPI configure/build time.
mca/threads: implement Argobots threading layer
config: fix thread configury
- Add double quotations
- Change Argobot to Argobots
config: implement Argobots check
If the poll time is too long, MPI hangs.
This quick fix just sets it to 0, but it is not good for the
Pthreads version. Need to find a good way to abstract it.
Note that even 1 (= 1 millisecond) causes disastrous performance
degradation.
rework threads MCA framework configury
It now works more like the ompi/mca/rte configury,
modulo some edge items that are special for threading package
linking, etc.
qthreads module
some argobots cleanup

* Complete rewrite of opal_pointer_array
Instead of a cache oblivious linear search use a bits array
to speed up the management of the free space. As a result we
slightly increase the memory used by the structure, but we get a
significant boost in performance.

* Do not register datatypes in the f2c translation table.
The registration is now done up into the Fortran layer, by
forcing a call to MPI_Type_c2f.

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 was SVN r32317.
(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).
This commit was SVN r17007.
