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 commit changes the underlying opal complex datatypes to match the
C99 types: float _Complex, double _Complex, and long double _Complex. The
fortran and C++ types now are aliases to these basic types instead of
structure types. The operators in ompi/mca/op/base now work on only the
C99 types and the fortran types use these operators if the fortran type
matches a C complex type (this should almost always be the case.)
C99 is not is use in both the datatype and operator code and should make
the code both cleaner and much less fragile.

Add support for MPI_Count type and MPI_COUNT datatype and add the required
MPI-3 functions MPI_Get_elements_x, MPI_Status_set_elements_x,
MPI_Type_get_extent_x, MPI_Type_get_true_extent_x, and MPI_Type_size_x.
This commit adds only the C bindings. Fortran bindins will be added in
another commit. For now the MPI_Count type is define to have the same size
as MPI_Offset. The type is required to be at least as large as MPI_Offset
and MPI_Aint. The type was initially intended to be a ssize_t (if it was
the same size as a long long) but there were issues compiling romio with
that definition (despite the inclusion of stddef.h).
I updated the datatype engine to use size_t instead of uint32_t to support
large datatypes. This will require some review to make sure that 1) the
changes are beneficial, 2) nothing was broken by the change (I doubt
anything was), and 3) there are no performance regressions due to this
change.

max bound and not provided on the unpacking side, so the unpacking
buffer could become out of sync with the content stored after the

The fix force the packing operation itself before reporting the length,
so we always report now the real number of bytes in the packed
representation.

1. The mpi module has been re-implemented and is significantly "mo' bettah"
1. The mpi_f08 module offers many, many improvements over mpif.h and the mpi module
This stuff is coming from a VERY long-lived mercurial branch (3 years!); it'll almost certainly take a few SVN commits and a bunch of testing before I get it correctly committed to the SVN trunk.
== More details ==
Craig Rasmussen and I have been working with the MPI-3 Fortran WG and Fortran J3 committees for a long, long time to make a prototype MPI-3 Fortran bindings implementation. We think we're at a stable enough state to bring this stuff back to the trunk, with the goal of including it in OMPI v1.7.
Special thanks go out to everyone who has been incredibly patient and helpful to us in this journey:
* Rolf Rabenseifner/HLRS (mastermind/genius behind the entire MPI-3 Fortran effort)
* The Fortran J3 committee
* Tobias Burnus/gfortran
* Tony !Goetz/Absoft
* Terry !Donte/Oracle
* ...and probably others whom I'm forgetting :-(
There's still opportunities for optimization in the mpi_f08 implementation, but by and large, it is as far along as it can be until Fortran compilers start implementing the new F08 dimension(..) syntax.
Note that gfortran is currently unsupported for the mpi_f08 module and the new mpi module. gfortran users will a) fall back to the same mpi module implementation that is in OMPI v1.5.x, and b) not get the new mpi_f08 module. The gfortran maintainers are actively working hard to add the necessary features to support both the new mpi_f08 module and the new mpi module implementations. This will take some time.
As mentioned above, ompi/mpi/f77 and ompi/mpi/f90 no longer exist. All the fortran bindings implementations have been collated under ompi/mpi/fortran; each implementation has its own subdirectory:
{{{
ompi/mpi/fortran/
base/ - glue code
mpif-h/ - what used to be ompi/mpi/f77
use-mpi-tkr/ - what used to be ompi/mpi/f90
use-mpi-ignore-tkr/ - new mpi module implementation
use-mpi-f08/ - new mpi_f08 module implementation
}}}
There's also a prototype 6-function-MPI implementation under use-mpi-f08-desc that emulates the new F08 dimension(..) syntax that isn't fully available in Fortran compilers yet. We did that to prove it to ourselves that it could be done once the compilers fully support it. This directory/implementation will likely eventually replace the use-mpi-f08 version.
Other things that were done:
* ompi_info grew a few new output fields to describe what level of Fortran support is included
* Existing Fortran examples in examples/ were renamed; new mpi_f08 examples were added
* The old Fortran MPI libraries were renamed:
* libmpi_f77 -> libmpi_mpifh
* libmpi_f90 -> libmpi_usempi
* The configury for Fortran was consolidated and significantly slimmed down. Note that the F77 env variable is now IGNORED for configure; you should only use FC. Example:
{{{
shell$ ./configure CC=icc CXX=icpc FC=ifort ...
}}}
All of this work was done in a Mercurial branch off the SVN trunk, and hosted at Bitbucket. This branch has got to be one of OMPI's longest-running branches. Its first commit was Tue Apr 07 23:01:46 2009 -0400 -- it's over 3 years old! :-) We think we've pulled in all relevant changes from the OMPI trunk (e.g., Fortran implementations of the new MPI-3 MPROBE stuff for mpif.h, use mpi, and use mpi_f08, and the recent Fujitsu Fortran patches).
I anticipate some instability when we bring this stuff into the trunk, simply because it touches a LOT of code in the MPI layer in the OMPI code base. We'll try our best to make it as pain-free as possible, but please bear with us when it is committed.

Fix another potential problem not yet reported. If we convert the
MPI datatypes direclty into OPAL datatypes, we will restrict their
number to the locally different types. Which might not be identical
on the remote node, if we are in a heterogeneous environment. So,
for MPI One sided only deal with MPI level types, never simplify
them on OPAL types (at least on the args). The unfortunate
outcome is that we need to create the args for all datatypes.

Anyway, the first items in the datatype list belong to OPAL, the second round
are MPI datatypes created by composing basic OPAL datatypes, and the last
batch are mapped datatype (direct correspondance between an OMPI datatype and
an OPAL one such as int -> int32_t).

This commit adds a lengthy comment in ompi_datatype.h that explains
why a one-sided datatype check was removed. The short version is that
we do have to allow some datatypes that may be unwise to use (e.g.,
"h" types of datatypes that have offsets in bytes -- MPI says it's ok
to use these), and our DDT engine can't currently detect datatypes
with absolute offsets, which MPI says it's ''not'' ok to use with
one-sided operations. Hence, we don't check for some datatypes that
are invalid to use with one-sided operations, and erroneous programs
may crash and burn. Life is hard.
The main point of this commit is that we now do allow datatypes for
one-sided operations that are supposed to be allowed.
