such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly
long.
= 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.

Update the rsh tree spawn capability so we spawn the next wave of daemons before launching our own local procs.
Add an ability to encode nodenames for large clusters with contiguous node name numbering schemes - this allows communication of all node names in a few bytes instead of tens-of-bytes/node.
This commit was SVN r18338.
We were mistakenly computing the local_rank across -all- jobs with procs on that node. While the two definitions are equivalent for an initial launch, comm_spawn'd procs would get the wrong local_rank. In particular, there would not be a local_rank=0 proc in the comm_spawn'd job on any node that was shared with the initial job.
This commit was SVN r18263.
Fix a potential problem with RM-provided nodenames not matching returns from gethostname - ensure that the HNP's nodename gets DNS-resolved when comparing against RM-provided hostnames. Note that this may be an issue for RM-based clusters that don't have local DNS resolution, but hopefully that is more indicative of a poorly configured system.
This commit was SVN r18252.
Restore the "do-not-launch" functionality so users can test a mapping without launching it.
Add a "do-not-resolve" cmd line flag to mpirun so the opal/util/if.c code does not attempt to resolve network addresses, thus enabling a user to test a hostfile mapping without hanging on network resolve requests.
Add a function to hostfile to generate an ordered list of host names from a hostfile
This commit was SVN r18190.
Only one place used the user name field - session_dir, when formulating the name of the top-level directory. Accordingly, the code for getting the user's id has been moved to the session_dir code.
This commit was SVN r17926.
The change also:
- cleans up and simplifies the command line processing code
- adds an error output if more than one hostfile passed for a single app context
- gets rid of the superfluous orte_app_context_map_t type, and instead use a simple argv of -host options

Cleanup ALL instances of output involving the printing of orte_process_name_t structures using the ORTE_NAME_ARGS macro so that the number of fields and type of data match. Replace those values with a new macro/function pair ORTE_NAME_PRINT that outputs a string (using the new thread safe data capability) so that any future changes to the printing of those structures can be accomplished with a change to a single point.
Note that I could not possibly find outputs that directly print the orte_process_name_t fields, but only dealt with those that used ORTE_NAME_ARGS. Hence, you may still have a few outputs that bark during compilation. Also, I could only verify those that fall within environments I can compile on, so other environments may yield some minor warnings.

You will not see any impact from this change unless you use the syntax described in ticket #1023. I've tried as many of the RAS components as possible and saw no problem - there may be issues with other RAS components that would not compile on any of my systems. Anything that appears should be trivial to fix.
This commit was SVN r15427.
Short description: major changes include -
1. singletons now fork/exec a local daemon to manage their operations.
2. the orte daemon code now resides in libopen-rte
3. daemons no longer use the orte triggering system during startup. Instead, they directly call back to their parent pls component to report ready to operate. A base function to count the callbacks has been provided.
I have modified all the pls components except xcpu and poe (don't understand either well enough to do it). Full functionality has been verified for rsh, SLURM, and TM systems. Compile has been verified for xgrid and gridengine.
This commit was SVN r15390.
1. generalize orte_rml.xcast to become a general broadcast-like messaging system. Messages can now be sent to any tag on the daemons or processes. Note that any message sent via xcast will be delivered to ALL processes in the specified job - you don't get to pick and choose. At a later date, we will introduce an augmented capability that will use the daemons as relays, but will allow you to send to a specified array of process names.
2. extended orte_rml.xcast so it supports more scalable message routing methodologies. At the moment, we support three: (a) direct, which sends the message directly to all recipients; (b) linear, which sends the message to the local daemon on each node, which then relays it to its own local procs; and (b) binomial, which sends the message via a binomial algo across all the daemons, each of which then relays to its own local procs. The crossover points between the algos are adjustable via MCA param, or you can simply demand that a specific algo be used.
3. orteds no longer exhibit two types of behavior: bootproxy or VM. Orteds now always behave like they are part of a virtual machine - they simply launch a job if mpirun tells them to do so. This is another step towards creating an "orteboot" functionality, but also provided a clean system for supporting message relaying.
Note one major impact of this commit: multiple daemons on a node cannot be supported any longer! Only a single daemon/node is now allowed.
This commit is known to break support for the following environments: POE, Xgrid, Xcpu, Windows. It has been tested on rsh, SLURM, and Bproc. Modifications for TM support have been made but could not be verified due to machine problems at LANL. Modifications for SGE have been made but could not be verified. The developers for the non-verified environments will be separately notified along with suggestions on how to fix the problems.

The only place where we attempt to store/retrieve attributes is in the RMAPS framework in support of comm_spawn. So this is where things broke down. The fix was simply to say "if the attribute data type is ORTE_UNDEF, then treat it like a boolean with value true". Trivial fix - solves problem.
This commit was SVN r14910.
To be precise, given this hypothetical launching pattern:
host1: vpids 0, 2, 4, 6
host2: vpids 1, 3, 5, 7
The local_rank for these procs would be:
host1: vpids 0->local_rank 0, v2->lr1, v4->lr2, v6->lr3
host2: vpids 1->local_rank 0, v3->lr1, v5->lr2, v7->lr3
and the number of local procs on each node would be four. If vpid=0 then does a comm_spawn of one process on host1, the values of the parent job would remain unchanged. The local_rank of the child process would be 0 and its num_local_procs would be 1 since it is in a separate jobid.
I have verified this functionality for the rsh case - need to verify that slurm and other cases also get the right values. Some consolidation of common code is probably going to occur in the SDS components to make this simpler and more maintainable in the future.
This commit was SVN r14706.
- Make it so that all the GPR pointer arrays are allocated initially at 16 elements instead of 512. This saves (on a 64 bit machine) approximately 4*(# procs + # nodes) KB.
- Fix up the segment prealloc function so that preallocating an existant segment is not an error, and make the areas where we do large inserts use it.
Fix the orte_pointer_array to efficiently implement setting its size. Before we just realloced the array one block at a time until the desired size was reached. Now we resize it all in one realloc.

Adjust the RMAPS mapped_node object to propagate the required launch_id info now included in the ras_node object. This provides support for those few systems that don't use nodename to launch, but instead want some id (typically an index into the array of allocated nodes). This value gets set for each node in the RAS - the RMAPS just propagates it for easy launch.
This commit was SVN r13581.
This has now been corrected. The singleton startup will dutifully call the mapper framework so that the proper data storage locations get initialized. Unfortunately, we then had to instruct the RMAPS not to allocate a vpid range for this job - otherwise, it would make a mistake and think there were two processes in it. Hence, a change was required to RMAPS to tell it "map this job, but don't allocate a vpid range for it".
This change will need to migrate across to 1.2 after it "soaks" the appropriate time.
This commit was SVN r12952.
Modify the RMAPS framework so we eliminate communicating a map to a backend node when certain attributes are set. The proxy functions are now implemented in the base, and a check made for HNP/non-HNP operation made in the map_jobs function prior to execution.

Add placeholders for the new orte tools. These don't actually do anything yet - in fact, I have set the .ompi_ignore so that you won't compile them (I have set a .ompi_unignore for me). Please let me know if you encounter any trouble with this - the ompi_ignore's should protect everyone.
This commit was SVN r12616.
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).

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 r11270.
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.
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.
This commit will apply cleanly to the v1.1 branch, and should
be moved over once I get someone to verify it.
The problem is outlined in the bug. The fix was to move the
setting of the app context index (idx) before we put it in the
GPR so that it is propogated to the gpr.
The reason this hasn't bitten us before is because we init
app->idx to 0, which is true most of the time. Except that is
when MPI_Comm_spawn_multiple in which we put in more than
one app context, thus care about correct indexing.
This was causing down the line memory corruption by overrunning
the mapping array. This commit also puts in a check to make
sure that we error out if we ever try to do that again.
This commit was SVN r10380.

The INIT counter is supposed to be adjusted when the processes are mapped - this is now done correctly.
The LAUNCHED counter is supposed to be adjusted when the pls sets the process pid info into the registry and changes the state to LAUNCHED. This could probably be changed to have that function use the set_proc_soh API, but this fixes the problem for now.

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.
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.
