A little background. Historically ob1 always registered the entire memory
region when the RGET protocol was in use. This changed when Mellanox
added support to fragment RGET using the btl_prepare_dst function. Now
that the BTL layer has changed to split out the limits of get/put there
is explicit fragmentation code in ob1. Before this commit the registration
was still done per RGET fragment.
This commit will attempt to register the entire region before creating
RGET fragments. If the registration is successfull then all RGET
fragments will use this registration otherwise they will each attempt
to register their own segment of the receive buffer. If that fails
enough times each fragment will give up and fall back on send/recv.

These two macros set the prefix for the OPAL and ORTE libraries,
respectively. Specifically, the OPAL library will be named
libPREFIXopen-pal.la and the ORTE library will be named
libPREFIXopen-rte.la.
These macros must be called, even if the prefix argument is empty.
The intent is that Open MPI will call these macros with an empty
prefix, but other projects (such as ORCM) will call these macros with
a non-empty prefix. For example, ORCM libraries can be named
liborcm-open-pal.la and liborcm-open-rte.la.
This scheme is necessary to allow running Open MPI applications under
systems that use their own versions of ORTE and OPAL. For example,
when running MPI applications under ORTE, if the ORTE and OPAL
libraries between OMPI and ORCM are not identical (which, because they
are released at different times, are likely to be different), we need
to ensure that the OMPI applications link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries, but the ORCM executables link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries.
WHAT: Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
server-to-server collectives
WHY: We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
requirements.
WHEN: Mon, Aug 25
WHERE: https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git
Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.
All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.
Accordingly, we have:
* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.
* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.
* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint
* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code
* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.
* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand

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 change also updates the BTL version to 3.0.0. This commit does
not represent the final version of BTL 3.0.0. More changes are coming.
In making this change I updated all of the BTLs as well as BTL user's
to use the new structure members. Please evaluate your component to
ensure the changes are correct.
RFC text:
This is the first of several BTL interface changes I am proposing for
the 1.9/2.0 release series.
What: Change naming of btl descriptor members. I propose we change
des_src and des_dst (and their associated counts) to be des_local and
des_remote. For receive callbacks the des_local member will be used to
communicate the segment information to the callback. The proposed change
will include updating all of the doxygen in btl.h as well as updating
all BTLs and BTL users to use the new naming scheme.
Why: My btl usage makes use of both put and get operations on the same
descriptor. With the current naming scheme I need to ensure that there
is consistency beteen the segments described in des_src and des_dst
depending on whether a put or get operation is executed. Additionally,
the current naming prevents BTLs that do not require prepare/RMA matched
operations (do not set MCA_BTL_FLAGS_RDMA_MATCHED) from executing
multiple simultaneous put AND get operations. At the moment the
descriptor can only be used with one or the other. The naming change
makes it easier for BTL users to setup/modify descriptors for RMA
operations as the local segment and remote segment are always in the
same member field. The only issue I forsee with this change is that it
will require a little more work to move BTL fixes to the 1.8 release
series.

This corner case is now handled in the pml so the same code
is invoked for both MPI_Start and MPI_Startall.
This also correctly report an error if MPI_Startall is invoked twice
on a MPI_PROC_NULL persistent request.

Based on a suggestion from George on #31806, use the pre-computed
sizes rather than duplicating the computation math (which may change
someday in the future).

MPI_Isend.
I filed an RFC for this optimization some time back. It is a
relatively simple optimization. If the data associated with an
MPI_Isend can be put on the wire without allocating an MPI_Request
then do so. In this case we can legally return omp_request_empty
which will correctly indicate that the request is complete and that is
was not cancelled (these are the only requirements on send requests).
cmr=v1.8.3:reviewer=bosilca
This commit was SVN r31828.
r30343 introduced the optimization of putting the OB1 sendreq and
recvreq on the stack for blocking sends and receives. However, the
requests did not contain enough storage for the data that is normally
immediately ''after'' the request (e.g., BTL data).
This commit changes these requests to be pointers and to use alloca()
to get enough total space for the OB1 request and all the associated
data.
The change is smaller than it looks; most of it is just changing from
"foo.bar" to "foo->bar" notation (etc.).
Submitted by Jeff, reviewed by Nathan. But we want George to look at
this (and get a little soak time on the trunk) before moving to v1.8.

top_ompi_builddir -> OMPI_TOP_BUILDDIR
We also split the srcdir/builddir flags according to their local tree (e.g., OPAL_TOP_SRCDIR), and tied them all together in configure.ac. Renamed ompi_ignore and ompi_unignore to be opal_<foo> as these are agnostic markers.
Only thing left is ompilibdir being treated similar to what we dif for srcdir/builddir. Coming soon.
