c03ea1a5f3 A more clean way to build on Windows.
It's not possible to combine two shared libraries on Windows, so we have to do it a bit different. First generate a small event static library by just linking the object files, and link it into other libraries that needs the libevent API.

e12ca48cd9 A number of C/R enhancements per RFC below:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2010/07/8240.php

Documentation:
  http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/

Major Changes: 
-------------- 
 * Added C/R-enabled Debugging support. 
   Enabled with the --enable-crdebug flag. See the following website for more information: 
   http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/crdebug/ 
 * Added Stable Storage (SStore) framework for checkpoint storage 
   * 'central' component does a direct to central storage save 
   * 'stage' component stages checkpoints to central storage while the application continues execution. 
     * 'stage' supports offline compression of checkpoints before moving (sstore_stage_compress) 
     * 'stage' supports local caching of checkpoints to improve automatic recovery (sstore_stage_caching) 
 * Added Compression (compress) framework to support 
 * Add two new ErrMgr recovery policies 
   * {{{crmig}}} C/R Process Migration 
   * {{{autor}}} C/R Automatic Recovery 
 * Added the {{{ompi-migrate}}} command line tool to support the {{{crmig}}} ErrMgr component 
 * Added CR MPI Ext functions (enable them with {{{--enable-mpi-ext=cr}}} configure option) 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Checkpoint}}} (Fixes trac:2342) 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Restart}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Migrate}}} (may need some more work for mapping rules) 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_INC_register_callback}}} (Fixes trac:2192) 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_start}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_checkpoint}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_end}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_checkpoint_callback}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_restart_callback}}} 
   * {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_continue_callback}}} 
 * The ErrMgr predicted_fault() interface has been changed to take an opal_list_t of ErrMgr defined types. This will allow us to better support a wider range of fault prediction services in the future. 
 * Add a progress meter to: 
   * FileM rsh (filem_rsh_process_meter) 
   * SnapC full (snapc_full_progress_meter) 
   * SStore stage (sstore_stage_progress_meter) 
 * Added 2 new command line options to ompi-restart 
   * --showme : Display the full command line that would have been exec'ed. 
   * --mpirun_opts : Command line options to pass directly to mpirun. (Fixes trac:2413) 
 * Deprecated some MCA params: 
   * crs_base_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_stage_local_snapshot_dir 
   * snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_dir 
   * snapc_base_global_shared deprecated, use sstore_stage_global_is_shared 
   * snapc_base_store_in_place deprecated, replaced with different components of SStore 
   * snapc_base_global_snapshot_ref deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_ref 
   * snapc_base_establish_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, never well supported 
   * snapc_full_skip_filem deprecated, use sstore_stage_skip_filem 

Minor Changes: 
-------------- 
 * Fixes trac:1924 : {{{ompi-restart}}} now recognizes path prefixed checkpoint handles and does the right thing. 
 * Fixes trac:2097 : {{{ompi-info}}} should now report all available CRS components 
 * Fixes trac:2161 : Manual checkpoint movement. A user can 'mv' a checkpoint directory from the original location to another and still restart from it. 
 * Fixes trac:2208 : Honor various TMPDIR varaibles instead of forcing {{{/tmp}}} 
 * Move {{{ompi_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to {{{orte_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to be more flexible in where this should be set. 
 * opal_crs_base_metadata_write* functions have been moved to SStore to support a wider range of metadata handling functionality. 
 * Cleanup the CRS framework and components to work with the SStore framework. 
 * Cleanup the SnapC framework and components to work with the SStore framework (cleans up these code paths considerably). 
 * Add 'quiesce' hook to CRCP for a future enhancement. 
 * We now require a BLCR version that supports {{{cr_request_file()}}} or {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}} in order to make the code more maintainable. Note that {{{cr_request_file}}} has been deprecated since 0.7.0, so we prefer to use {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}}. 
 * Add optional application level INC callbacks (registered through the CR MPI Ext interface). 
 * Increase the {{{opal_cr_thread_sleep_wait}}} parameter to 1000 microseconds to make the C/R thread less aggressive. 
 * {{{opal-restart}}} now looks for cache directories before falling back on stable storage when asked. 
 * {{{opal-restart}}} also support local decompression before restarting 
 * {{{orte-checkpoint}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata 
 * {{{orte-restart}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata 
 * Remove the {{{orte-restart}}} preload option. This was removed since the user only needs to select the 'stage' component in order to support this functionality. 
 * Since the '-am' parameter is saved in the metadata, {{{ompi-restart}}} no longer hard codes {{{-am ft-enable-cr}}}. 
 * Fix {{{hnp}}} ErrMgr so that if a previous component in the stack has 'fixed' the problem, then it should be skipped. 
 * Make sure to decrement the number of 'num_local_procs' in the orted when one goes away. 
 * odls now checks the SStore framework to see if it needs to load any checkpoint files before launching (to support 'stage'). This separates the SStore logic from the --preload-[binary|files] options. 
 * Add unique IDs to the named pipes established between the orted and the app in SnapC. This is to better support migration and automatic recovery activities. 
 * Improve the checks for 'already checkpointing' error path. 
 * A a recovery output timer, to show how long it takes to restart a job 
 * Do a better job of cleaning up the old session directory on restart. 
 * Add a local module to the autor and crmig ErrMgr components. These small modules prevent the 'orted' component from attempting a local recovery (Which does not work for MPI apps at the moment) 
 * Add a fix for bounding the checkpointable region between MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.

872a4047ba Fix the bug that caused by ADD_DEPENDENCIES() from different version of CMake.
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.

4357159ac9 Make sure to check for the NO_CKPT state while waiting. This means that the target was not able to checkpoint [ever | at this time]. So {{{ompi-checkpoint}}} should exit after printing the error message, instead of hanging and waiting.
Will need to be moved to v1.5 and v1.4. v1.4 will require a custom patch, but should apply cleanly to v1.5. CMRs to follow.

16b100219d A patch from UTK to allow orte_init(), opal_init(), and associated
friends also receive &argc and &argv (George asked Jeff to Ralph to
review before committing).  The thought is that passing argv and argc
to opal/orte_init be useful to other projects outside of OMPI that are
using OPAL and/or ORTE (especially in conjunction with some other
bootstrapping code where it is helpful to modify argv).  It's such a
small thing that it's easy to apply here to make others' lives a
little easier.

Ask George for more details; I'm just the messenger.  :-)

Judging by the copyrights on this patch, it's been around for a
while.  :-)

5406fdfb80 Add support for sending SIGSTOP the MPI job after the checkpoint is taken (uses a BLCR feature for the option).
This commit looks larger than it really is since it includes a fair amount of code cleanup.

The SIGSTOP/SIGCONT+checkpointing work uses some of the functionality in r20391. Basic use case below (note that the checkpoint generated is useable as usual if the stopped application is terminated).
{{{
shell 1) mpirun -np 2 -am ft-enable-cr my-app
... running ...

shell 2) ompi-checkpoint --stop -v MPIRUN_PID
[localhost:001300] [  0.00 /   0.20]                 Requested - ...

shell 2) killall -CONT mpirun

... Application Continues execution in shell 1 ...
}}}

Other items in this commit are mostly cleanup that has been sitting off-trunk for too long:
 * Add a new {{{opal_crs_base_ckpt_options_t}}} type that encapsulates the various options that could be passed to the CRS. Currently only TERM and STOP, but this makes adding others ''much'' easier.
 * Eliminate ORTE_SNAPC_CKPT_STATE_PENDING_TERM, since it served a redundant purpose with the new options type.
 * Lay some basic ground work for some future features.

* Add 'orte-checkpoint -l' option that lists all checkpoints currently available on the system.
 * Add 'orte-restart -i' which prints information regarding the checkpoint targeted for restart.
 * Add ability to extract the timing metadata.
 * Fix show_help() in the orte-checkpoint and orte-restart tools. They should be using the opal versions instead of the orte versions (otherwise nothing is printed).

4be24521aa Modify the orte_process_info structure to handle a broader range of process types by replacing the individual booleans with a 32-bit bitmap. Use a set of #define's to define the individual bits, and a set of matching macros to test for them. Update the orte code base to use the macros instead of the booleans.
Minor mod to the ompi layer to use the new #define's - just one-line name replacements.

0deb009225 A bunch of improvements focused on Snapshot Coordination (SnapC) and File Management (FileM).
* Improved timing in SnapC Full Global Coordinator
 * Improved scalability of the SnapC Full protocol
 * Minor improvements to the error reporting mechanisms in SnapC and FileM
 * Improved the memory usage of the metadata routines - now the owner of the data is more explicit.
 * Added a FileM hint to indicate when files stored locally can be moved to/from a globally mounted file system using just the 'cp' command instead of the 'rcp/scp' command. Slightly improves performance, but not too drastically. Can be set using the following SnapC MCA parameter: {{{snapc_base_global_shared=1}}}
 * Implement the ability to throttle the number of outgoing connections in FileM. At larger scales this type of explicit throttling helps prevent overwhelming the HNP machine. Default: 10, set via MCA parameter: {{{filem_rsh_max_outgoing}}}
 * Add a few diagnostic/debugging features to SnapC and FileM.

d81443cc5a - On the way to get the BTLs split out and lessen dependency on orte:
Often, orte/util/show_help.h is included, although no functionality
   is required -- instead, most often opal_output.h, or               
   orte/mca/rml/rml_types.h                                           
   Please see orte_show_help_replacement.sh commited next.            

 - Local compilation (Linux/x86_64) w/ -Wimplicit-function-declaration
   actually showed two *missing* #include "orte/util/show_help.h"     
   in orte/mca/odls/base/odls_base_default_fns.c and

This includes a new OPAL pstat framework and data type, currently with rather weak support for Mac OSX and pretty complete support for Linux. The Sun team promised to add Solaris support as well.
Also, per chat with Jeff, modified the Makefile.am's of a few orte tools so that they were consistent in the way we generate the ompi-equivalent cmds.

7e3ddb09d3 As requested by Aurelien at the July design meeting - long time coming, but finally got around to it.
Enable one mpirun to act as the server for another mpirun when doing MPI_Publish_name and its associated operations. The user is responsible, of course, for ensuring that the mpirun acting as a server outlives any mpiruns using it in that capacity.

Add a cmd line option to mpirun --report-pid that prints out mpirun's pid. Allow the --ompi-server option to now take pid:# (or PID:#) of the mpirun to be used as the server, and then look that pid up by searching the local mpirun contact infos for it.

   pages should get rebuilt.
 * Man pages are now cleaned with "distclean", not "maintainer-clean".

e4172a3c44 Shift the AM "if" logic down from orte/tools/Makefile.am down to the
individual orte/tools/*/Makefile.am files.  This causes "make" to
travese into every directory, even if it's not going to build anything
in that directory (which is a good thing).  It also helps cleanup and
dist issues.

This also affects orte-checkpoint and orte-restart, but I couldn't get
--with-ft to compile properly; I'll pass along a heads-up to Josh to
ensure that I didn't break anything.

9613b3176c Effectively revert the orte_output system and return to direct use of opal_output at all levels. Retain the orte_show_help subsystem to allow aggregation of show_help messages at the HNP.
After much work by Jeff and myself, and quite a lot of discussion, it has become clear that we simply cannot resolve the infinite loops caused by RML-involved subsystems calling orte_output. The original rationale for the change to orte_output has also been reduced by shifting the output of XML-formatted vs human readable messages to an alternative approach.

I have globally replaced the orte_output/ORTE_OUTPUT calls in the code base, as well as the corresponding .h file name. I have test compiled and run this on the various environments within my reach, so hopefully this will prove minimally disruptive.

78f14b5255 Fix the none.checkpoint command.
orte-checkpoint/orte-restart seem to not seem to totally like orte_output so revert them to opal_output for now. Since we have no need for the additional complexity of orte_output we can drop it for now and revisit this if anyone needs it later.

It seems that if you set the verbose level on an output handle then try to call a normal orte_output() on it then the message will *not* be printed. This is the same for opal_output, and seems incorrect to me because it stops some error messages from being printed out if you do not directly specify opal_output(0, ...). Maybe someone should take a look a this.


orte-checkpoint would segv if passed an incorrect PID. Fixed the return code so it errors out properly.

Thanks to Eric Roman for bringing this to my attention.

e7ecd56bd2 This commit represents a bunch of work on a Mercurial side branch. As
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.

dee561d29e Per recent off-list discussions about the build system, I have done
some cleanups and standardizations in the various */tools/*/ 
Makefile.am files.  This commit:

 * Somewhat simplify the tool Makefile.am's 
 * Makes the tool Makefile.am's consistent with each other (do similar
   actions in similar ways)
 * Update the tool Makefile.am's to remove old kruft that was required
   by older versions of AM (trunk requires AM >=1.10)

54b2cf747e These changes were mostly captured in a prior RFC (except for #2 below) and are aimed specifically at improving startup performance and setting up the remaining modifications described in that RFC.
The commit has been tested for C/R and Cray operations, and on Odin (SLURM, rsh) and RoadRunner (TM). I tried to update all environments, but obviously could not test them. I know that Windows needs some work, and have highlighted what is know to be needed in the odls process component.

This represents a lot of work by Brian, Tim P, Josh, and myself, with much advice from Jeff and others. For posterity, I have appended a copy of the email describing the work that was done:

As we have repeatedly noted, the modex operation in MPI_Init is the single greatest consumer of time during startup. To-date, we have executed that operation as an ORTE stage gate that held the process until a startup message containing all required modex (and OOB contact info - see #3 below) info could be sent to it. Each process would send its data to the HNP's registry, which assembled and sent the message when all processes had reported in.

In addition, ORTE had taken responsibility for monitoring process status as it progressed through a series of "stage gates". The process reported its status at each gate, and ORTE would then send a "release" message once all procs had reported in.

The incoming changes revamp these procedures in three ways:

1. eliminating the ORTE stage gate system and cleanly delineating responsibility between the OMPI and ORTE layers for MPI init/finalize. The modex stage gate (STG1) has been replaced by a collective operation in the modex itself that performs an allgather on the required modex info. The allgather is implemented using the orte_grpcomm framework since the BTL's are not active at that point. At the moment, the grpcomm framework only has a "basic" component analogous to OMPI's "basic" coll framework - I would recommend that the MPI team create additional, more advanced components to improve performance of this step.

The other stage gates have been replaced by orte_grpcomm barrier functions. We tried to use MPI barriers instead (since the BTL's are active at that point), but - as we discussed on the telecon - these are not currently true barriers so the job would hang when we fell through while messages were still in process. Note that the grpcomm barrier doesn't actually resolve that problem, but Brian has pointed out that we are unlikely to ever see it violated. Again, you might want to spend a little time on an advanced barrier algorithm as the one in "basic" is very simplistic.

Summarizing this change: ORTE no longer tracks process state nor has direct responsibility for synchronizing jobs. This is now done via collective operations within the MPI layer, albeit using ORTE collective communication services. I -strongly- urge the MPI team to implement advanced collective algorithms to improve the performance of this critical procedure.


2. reducing the volume of data exchanged during modex. Data in the modex consisted of the process name, the name of the node where that process is located (expressed as a string), plus a string representation of all contact info. The nodename was required in order for the modex to determine if the process was local or not - in addition, some people like to have it to print pretty error messages when a connection failed.

The size of this data has been reduced in three ways:

(a) reducing the size of the process name itself. The process name consisted of two 32-bit fields for the jobid and vpid. This is far larger than any current system, or system likely to exist in the near future, can support. Accordingly, the default size of these fields has been reduced to 16-bits, which means you can have 32k procs in each of 32k jobs. Since the daemons must have a vpid, and we require one daemon/node, this also restricts the default configuration to 32k nodes.

To support any future "mega-clusters", a configuration option --enable-jumbo-apps has been added. This option increases the jobid and vpid field sizes to 32-bits. Someday, if necessary, someone can add yet another option to increase them to 64-bits, I suppose.

(b) replacing the string nodename with an integer nodeid. Since we have one daemon/node, the nodeid corresponds to the local daemon's vpid. This replaces an often lengthy string with only 2 (or at most 4) bytes, a substantial reduction.

(c) when the mca param requesting that nodenames be sent to support pretty error messages, a second mca param is now used to request FQDN - otherwise, the domain name is stripped (by default) from the message to save space. If someone wants to combine those into a single param somehow (perhaps with an argument?), they are welcome to do so - I didn't want to alter what people are already using.

While these may seem like small savings, they actually amount to a significant impact when aggregated across the entire modex operation. Since every proc must receive the modex data regardless of the collective used to send it, just reducing the size of the process name removes nearly 400MBytes of communication from a 32k proc job (admittedly, much of this comm may occur in parallel). So it does add up pretty quickly.


3. routing RML messages to reduce connections. The default messaging system remains point-to-point - i.e., each proc opens a socket to every proc it communicates with and sends its messages directly. A new option uses the orteds as routers - i.e., each proc only opens a single socket to its local orted. All messages are sent from the proc to the orted, which forwards the message to the orted on the node where the intended recipient proc is located - that orted then forwards the message to its local proc (the recipient). This greatly reduces the connection storm we have encountered during startup.

It also has the benefit of removing the sharing of every proc's OOB contact with every other proc. The orted routing tables are populated during launch since every orted gets a map of where every proc is being placed. Each proc, therefore, only needs to know the contact info for its local daemon, which is passed in via the environment when the proc is fork/exec'd by the daemon. This alone removes ~50 bytes/process of communication that was in the current STG1 startup message - so for our 32k proc job, this saves us roughly 32k*50 = 1.6MBytes sent to 32k procs = 51GBytes of messaging.

Note that you can use the new routing method by specifying -mca routed tree - if you so desire. This mode will become the default at some point in the future.


There are a few minor additional changes in the commit that I'll just note in passing:

* propagation of command line mca params to the orteds - fixes ticket #1073. See note there for details.

* requiring of "finalize" prior to "exit" for MPI procs - fixes ticket #1144. See note there for details.

* cleanup of some stale header files
