allgather.
The new collectives provide a signifigant performance increase over tuned for
small and medium messages. We are initially setting the priority lower than
tuned until this has had some time to soak in the trunk. Please set
coll_ml_priority to 90 for MTT runs.

Commit details (for reference):
Import ORNL's collectives for MPI_Allreduce, MPI_Reduce, and MPI_Allgather.
We need to take the basesmuma header into account when calculating the
ptpcoll small message thresholds. Add a define to bcol.h indicating the
maximum header size so we can take the header into account while not
making ptpcoll dependent on information from basesmuma.
This resolves an issue with allreduce where ptpcoll overwrites the
header of the next buffer in the basesmuma bank.
Fix reduce and make a sequential collective launcher in coll_ml_inlines.h
The root calculation for reduce was wrong for any root != 0. There are
four possibilities for the root:
- The root is not the current process but is in the current hierarchy. In
this case the root is the index of the global root as specified in the
root vector.
- The root is not the current process and is not in the next level of the
hierarchy. In this case 0 must be the local root since this process will
never communicate with the real root.
- The root is not the current process but will be in next level of the
hierarchy. In this case the current process must be the root.
- I am the root. The root is my index.
Tested with IMB which rotates the root on every call to MPI_Reduce. Consider
IMB the reproducer for the issue this commit solves.
Make the bcast algorithm decision an enumerated variable
Resolve various asset failures when destructing coll ml requests.
Two issues:
- Always reset the request to be invalid before returning it to the
free list. This will avoid an asset in ompi_request_t's destructor.
OMPI_REQUEST_FINI does this (and also releases the fortran handle
index).
- Never explicitly construct or destruct the superclass of an opal
object. This screws up the class function tables and will cause
either an assert failure or a segmentation fault when destructing
coll ml requests.
Cleanup allgather.
I removed the duplicate non-blocking and blocking functions and modeled
the cleanup after what I found in allreduce. Also cleaned up the code
somewhat.
Don't bother copying from the send to the recieve buffer in
bcol_basesmuma_allreduce_intra_fanin_fanout if the pointers are the
same.
The eliminates a warning about memcpy and aliasing and avoids an
unnecessary call to memcpy.
Alwasy call CHECK_AND_RELEASE on memsync collectives.
There was a call to OBJ_RELEASE on the collective communicator but
because CHECK_AND_RECYLCE was never called there was not matching call
to OBJ_RELEASE. This caused coll ml to leak communicators.
Make allreduce use the sequential collective launcher in coll_ml_inlines.h
Just launch the next collective in the component progress.
I am a little unsure about this patch. There appears to be some sort
of race between collectives that causes buffer exhaustion in some cases
(IMB Allreduce is a reproducer). Changing progress to only launch the
next bcol seems to resolve the issue but might not be the best fix.
Note that I see little-no performance penalty for this change.
Fix allreduce when there are extra sources.
There was an issue with the buffer offset calculation when there are
extra sources. In the case of extra sources == 1 the offset was set
to buffer_size (just past the header of the next buffer). I adjusted
the buffer size to take into accoun the maximum header size (see the
earlier commit that added this) and simplified the offset calculation.
Make reduce/allreduce non-blocking. This is required for MPI_Comm_idup
to work correctly.
This has been tested with various layouts using the ibm testsuite and
imb and appears to have the same performance as the old blocking version.
Fix allgather for non-contiguous layouts and simplify parsing the
topology.
Some things in this patch:
- There were several comments to the effect that level 0 of the
hierarchy MUST contain all of the ranks. At least one function
made this assumption but it was not true. I changed the sbgp
components and the coll ml initization code to enforce this
requirement.
- Ensure that hierarchy level 0 has the ranks in the correct
scatter gather order. This removes the need for a separate
sort list and fixes the offset calculation for allgather.
- There were several passes over the hierarchy to determine
properties of the hierarchy. I eliminated these extra passes
and the memory allocation associated with them and calculate the
tree properties on the fly. The same DFS recursion also handles
the re-order of level 0.
All these changes have been verified with MPI_Allreduce, MPI_Reduce, and
MPI_Allgather. All functions now pass all IBM/Open MPI, and IMB tests.
coll/ml: correct pointer usage for MPI_BOTTOM
Since contiguous datatypes are copied via memcpy (bypassing the convertor) we
need to adjust for the lb of the datatype. This corrects problems found testing
code that uses MPI_BOTTOM (NULL) as the send pointer.
Add fallback collectives for allreduce and reduce.

value to signal that the operation of retrieving the element from the free list
failed. However in this case the returned pointer was set to NULL as well, so the
error code was redundant. Moreover, this was a continuous source of warnings when
the picky mode is on.
The attached parch remove the rc argument from the OMPI_FREE_LIST_GET and
OMPI_FREE_LIST_WAIT macros, and change to check if the item is NULL instead of
using the return code.
This commit was SVN r28722.
Notes:
- This commit also eliminates the need for an available components list in use
in several frameworks. None of the code in question was making use of the
priority field of the priority component list item so these extra lists were
removed.
- Cleaned up selection code in several frameworks to sort lists using opal_list_sort.
- Cleans up the ompi/orte-info functions. Expose the functions that construct the
list of params so they can be used elsewhere.
patches for mtl/portals4 from brian
missed a few output variables in openib
This commit was SVN r28241.
Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.

pml/v:
- If vprotocol is not being used vprotocol_include_list is leaked. Assume vprotocol never takes ownership (see below) and always free the string.
coll/ml:
- (patch verified) calling mca_base_param_lookup_string after mca_base_param_reg_string is unnecessary. The call to mca_base_param_lookup_string causes the value returned by mca_base_param_reg_string to be leaked.
- Need to free mca_coll_ml_component.config_file_name on component close.
btl/openib:
- calling mca_base_param_lookup_string after mca_base_param_reg_string is unnecessary. The call to mca_base_param_lookup_string causes the value returned by mca_base_param_reg_string to be leaked.
vprotocol/base:
- There was no way for pml/v to determine if vprotocol took ownership of vprotocol_include_list. Fix by always never ownership (use strdup).
mca/base:
- param_lookup will result in storage->stringval to be a newly allocated string if the mca parameter has a string value. ensure this string is always freed.

The project includes following components and frameworks:
- ML Collective component
- NETPATTERNS and COMMPATTERNS common components
- BCOL framework
- SBGP framework
Note: By default the ML collective component is disabled. In order to enable
new collectives user should bump up the priority of ml component (coll_ml_priority)
