This commit adds an owner file in each of the component directories
for each framework. This allows for a simple script to parse
the contents of the files and generate, among other things, tables
to be used on the project's wiki page. Currently there are two
"fields" in the file, an owner and a status. A tool to parse
the files and generate tables for the wiki page will be added
in a subsequent commit.
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.
The only user of this code was coll/sm. I implemented a basic replacement
for the removed code. This gets the trunk compiling again with
--disable-dlopen.

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.

top_ompi_srcdir -> OMPI_TOP_SRCDIR
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.
This commit was SVN r31678.
pkg{data,lib,includedir}, use our own ompi{data,lib,includedir}, which is
always set to {datadir,libdir,includedir}/openmpi. This will keep us from
having help files in prefix/share/open-rte when building without Open MPI,
but in prefix/share/openmpi when building with Open MPI.

of individual regions (each region is a multiple of page size in
length), and each process claims its own regions by binding it to its
local memory. Each process would end up membining something like 16
individual regions in the overall shmem segment.
There were two errors in this code relating to the memory affinity
pinning. Some combination of these two errors would lead to kernel
panics (!) on my RHEL 6.2 x86_64 machines when used with mmap'ed
shared memory (not posix or sysv shared memory, curiously enough):
1. The shared memory segment is initially divided into two regions:
control and data. The control starts at the beginning of the shmem
segment, the data starts after that. The data portion, unfortunately,
was ''not'' aligned to a page. So all the multiple-of-page-size
regions that we divvy up were also not alined on page boundaries. And
therefore all the regions we tried to membind were not on page
boundaries.
The solution was to ensure that the data portion started on a page
boundary. Then all of the individual regions were on page boundaries,
too.
That being said, in my tests, Linux mbind() fails gracefully when the
address is not on a page boundary. So I'm not sure how this worked at
all / led to a kernel panic...
2. There was some bad pointer math that resulted in membinding regions
larger than they should have been, resulting in region overlaps.
There were definitely overlaps between regions in the same process;
it's likely that there were overlaps between regions of multiple
processes, too -- I'm not sure (and don't care to figure out :-) ).
The solution was to fix the pointer math so that each region membinds
exactly only itself and no neighboring/overlapping regions.

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().
opal: update core and components to mca_base_var system
orte: update core and components to mca_base_var system
ompi: update core and components to mca_base_var system
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.
This commit was SVN r28236.
ompi_show_help, because opal_show_help is replaced with an

directly call orte_show_help.

ompi/mca/sbgp/basesmsocket

Remove stale configure.params files from the sbgp framework as the OMPI build system no longer looks at those files.
This commit was SVN r27377.
* Remove paffinity, maffinity, and carto frameworks -- they've been
wholly replaced by hwloc.
* Move ompi_mpi_init() affinity-setting/checking code down to ORTE.
* Update sm, smcuda, wv, and openib components to no longer use carto.
Instead, use hwloc data. There are still optimizations possible in
the sm/smcuda BTLs (i.e., making multiple mpools). Also, the old
carto-based code found out how many NUMA nodes were ''available''
-- not how many were used ''in this job''. The new hwloc-using
code computes the same value -- it was not updated to calculate how
many NUMA nodes are used ''by this job.''
* Note that I cannot compile the smcuda and wv BTLs -- I ''think''
they're right, but they need to be verified by their owners.
* The openib component now does a bunch of stuff to figure out where
"near" OpenFabrics devices are. '''THIS IS A CHANGE IN DEFAULT
BEHAVIOR!!''' and still needs to be verified by OpenFabrics vendors
(I do not have a NUMA machine with an OpenFabrics device that is a
non-uniform distance from multiple different NUMA nodes).
* Completely rewrite the OMPI_Affinity_str() routine from the
"affinity" mpiext extension. This extension now understands
hyperthreads; the output format of it has changed a bit to reflect
this new information.
* Bunches of minor changes around the code base to update names/types
from maffinity/paffinity-based names to hwloc-based names.
* Add some helper functions into the hwloc base, mainly having to do
with the fact that we have the hwloc data reporting ''all''
topology information, but sometimes you really only want the
(online | available) data.

This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.
Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.
This commit was SVN r23764.
Configure Option:
--enable-sysv
MCA Parameter:
mpi_common_sm
mpi_common_sm accepts a comma delimited list of: [sysv],mmap (order
dependent). The first component that is successfully selected is used. For
example, -mca mpi_common_sm sysv,mmap will first try sysv. If sysv is not
successfully selected, then mmap will be used. mmap will be used if
mpi_common_sm is not provided.
Notes:
Please make certain that your system's shmmax limit, or equivalent, is larger
than mpool_sm_min_size. Otherwise, shmget may fail.

In CMake 2.6 and earlier, this function add dependencies for targets and also link the target libraries automatically, but in CMake 2.8,this behavior has been changed, i.e. it will only add the dependencies but no link, which will cause linking errors at compilation time.
This commit was SVN r22405.
This commit does a bunch of things:
* Address all remaining code review items from CMR #2023:
* Defer mmap setup to be lazy; only set it up the first time we
invoke a collective. In this way, we don't penalize apps that
make lots of communicators but don't invoke collectives on them
(per #2027).
* Remove the extra assignments of mca_coll_sm_one (fixing a
convertor count setup that was the real problem).
* Remove another extra/unnecessary assignment.
* Increase libevent polling frequency when using the RML to
bootstrap mmap'ed memory.
* Fix a minor procs-related memory leak in btl_sm.
* Commit a datatype fix that George and I discovered along the way to
fixing the coll sm.
* Improve error messages when mmap fails, potentially trying to
de-alloc any allocated memory when that happens.
* Fix a previously-unnoticed confusion between extent and true_extent
in coll sm reduce.

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 2023 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2023
shmem progress (or the Windows equiv). Instead, poll hard on the
condition, but periocially call opal_progress(). This allows
badly-formed apps (e.g., the ibm test communicator/bsend_free) to
actually complete.
To be clear, there are far too many apps out there that assume that
MPI collectives will actually progress the rest of MPI. I don't like
putting in a feature to enable broken apps, but I have a dim
recollection of this issue coming up before (apps "hanging" when
testing the sm coll because they assumed that calling collectives
would trigger other MPI progress). Rather than have people claim that
OMPI is broken, I prefer to put in this "workaround". :-(
Indeed, the bsend_free test ''may'' be coded that way for exactly that
reason...? I don't remember offhand...
This commit was SVN r21984.
* Various cosmetic/style updates in the btl sm
* Clean up concept of mpool module (I think that code was written way
back when the concept of "modules" was fuzzy)
* Bring over some old fixes from the /tmp/timattox-sm-coll/ tree to
fix potential segv's when mmap'ed regions were at different
addresses in different processes (thanks Tim!).
* Change sm coll to no longer use mpool as its main source of shmem;
rather, just mmap its own segment (because it's fixed size --
there was nothing to be gained by using mpool; shedding the use of
mpool saved a lot of complexity in the sm coll setup). This
effectively made Tim's fixes moot (because now everything is an
offset into the mmap that is computed locally; there are no global
pointers). :-)
* Slightly updated common/sm to allow making mmap's for a specific
set of procs (vs. ''all'' procs in the process). This potentially
allows for same-host-inter-proc mmaps -- yay!
* Fixed many, many things in the coll sm (particularly in reduce):
* Fixed handling of MPI_IN_PLACE in reduce and allreduce
* Fixed handling of non-contiguous datatypes in reduce
* Changed the order of reductions to go from process (n-1)'s data
to process 0's data, because that's how all other OMPI coll
components work
* Fixed lots of usage of ddt functions
* When using a non-contiguous datatype, if the root process is not
(n-1), now we used a 2nd convertor to copy from shmem to the rbuf
(saves a memory copy vs. what was done before)
* Lots and lots of little cleanups, clarifications, and minor
optimizations (although still more could be done -- e.g., I think
the use of write memory barriers is fairly sub-optimal; they
could be ganged together at the root, for example)
I'm marking this as "fixes trac:1988" and closing the ticket; if something
is still broken, we can re-open the ticket.
This commit was SVN r21967.
The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 1988 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1988
OMPI
and a language agnostic part in OPAL. The convertor is completely
moved into OPAL. This offers several benefits as described in RFC
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2009/07/6387.php
namely:
- Fewer basic types (int* and float* types, boolean and wchar
- Fixing naming scheme to ompi-nomenclature.
- Usability outside of the ompi-layer.
- Due to the fixed nature of simple opal types, their information is
completely
known at compile time and therefore constified
- With fewer datatypes (22), the actual sizes of bit-field types may be
reduced
from 64 to 32 bits, allowing reorganizing the opal_datatype
structure, eliminating holes and keeping data required in convertor
(upon send/recv) in one cacheline...
This has implications to the convertor-datastructure and other parts
of the code.
- Several performance tests have been run, the netpipe latency does not
change with
this patch on Linux/x86-64 on the smoky cluster.
- Extensive tests have been done to verify correctness (no new
regressions) using:
1. mpi_test_suite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and
ompi-ddt:
a. running both trunk and ompi-ddt resulted in no differences
(except for MPI_SHORT_INT and MPI_TYPE_MIX_LB_UB do now run
correctly).
b. with --enable-memchecker and running under valgrind (one buglet
when run with static found in test-suite, commited)
2. ibm testsuite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and ompi-ddt:
all passed (except for the dynamic/ tests failed!! as trunk/MTT)
3. compilation and usage of HDF5 tests on Jaguar using PGI and
PathScale compilers.
4. compilation and usage on Scicortex.
- Please note, that for the heterogeneous case, (-m32 compiled
binaries/ompi), neither
ompi-trunk, nor ompi-ddt branch would successfully launch.
This commit was SVN r21641.
- Delete unnecessary header files using
contrib/check_unnecessary_headers.sh after applying
patches, that include headers, being "lost" due to
inclusion in one of the now deleted headers...
In total 817 files are touched.
In ompi/mpi/c/ header files are moved up into the actual c-file,
where necessary (these are the only additional #include),
otherwise it is only deletions of #include (apart from the above
additions required due to notifier...)
- To get different MCAs (OpenIB, TM, ALPS), an earlier version was
successfully compiled (yesterday) on:
Linux locally using intel-11, gcc-4.3.2 and gcc-SVN + warnings enabled
Smoky cluster (x86-64 running Linux) using PGI-8.0.2 + warnings enabled
Lens cluster (x86-64 running Linux) using Pathscale-3.2 + warnings enabled
