It is anticipated * that ORTE users will execute an "mpirun" or other command that * invokes ORTE through one of two channels: * * 1. local: the user will login to the computing resource they intend * to use, request a resource allocation from that system, and then * execute the mpirun or other command. Thus, the allocation has * already been obtained prior to ORTE's initialization. In most * cases, systems pass allocation information via environmental * parameters. Thus, the RAS components must know the correct * environmental parameter to look for within the environment they * seek to support (e.g., an LSF component should know that LSF passes * allocation parameters as a specific LSF-named entity). * * 2. remote: the user issues an mpirun command on their notebook or * desktop computer, indicating that the application is to be executed * on a specific remote resource. In this case, the allocation may * not have been previously requested or made. Thus, the associated * RAS component must know how to request an allocation from the * designated resource. To assist in this process, the RAS can turn to * the information provided by the resource discovery subsystem (RDS) * to learn what allocator resides on the designated resource. * * The RAS operates on a per-job basis - i.e., it serves to allocate * the resources for a specific job. It takes several inputs, * depending upon what is provided and desired: * * - the jobid for which the resources are to be allocated. There are * two options here: (a) the jobid can be predefined and provided to * the allocator. In this case, the allocator will simply allocate * resources to the job; or (b) the jobid can be set by the allocator * via a request to the ORTE name services (NS) subsystem. This option * is selected by calling the allocate function with the illegal jobid * of ORTE_JOBID_MAX. In this case, the new jobid (set by the * allocator) will be returned in the provided address (the allocate * function takes a pointer to the jobid as its argument). * * - MCA parameters specifying preallocated resources. These resources * are allocated to the specified jobid (whether set by the allocator * or not) on the first request. However, subsequent requests for * allocation do NOT use these parameters - the parameters are "unset" * after initial use. This is done to prevent subsequent allocation * requests from unintentionally overloading the specified resources * in cases where the univese is persistent and therefore servicing * multiple applications. * * - MCA parameters specifying the name of the application(s) and the * number of each application to be executed. These will usually be * taken from the command line options, but could be provided via * environmental parameters. * * - the resources defined in the ORTE_RESOURCE_SEGMENT by the * RDS. When an allocation is requested for resources not previously * allocated, the RAS will attempt to obtain an allocation that meets * the specified requirements. For example, if the user specifies that * the application must run on an Intel Itanium 2 resource under the * Linux operating system, but doesn't provide the allocation or * resource identification, then the allocator can (if possible) * search the ORTE_RESOURCE_SEGMENT for resources meeting those * specifications and attempt to obtain an allocation from them. * * The RAS outputs its results into three registry segments: * * (a) the ORTE_NODE_STATUS_SEGMENT. The segment consists of a * registry container for each node that has been allocated to a job - * for proper operation, each container MUST be described by the * following set of tokens: * * - nodename: a unique name assigned to each node, usually obtained * from the preallocated information in the environmental variables or * the resource manager for the specified compute resource (e.g., * LSF). For those cases where specific nodenames are not provided, * the allocator can use the info provided by the RDS to attempt to * determine the nodenames (e.g., if the RDS learned that the nodes * are name q0-q1024 and we obtain an allocation of 100 nodes * beginning at node 512, then the RAS can derive the nodenames from * this information). * * For each node, the RAS stores the following information on the segment: * * - number of cpus allocated from this node to the user. This will * normally be the number of cpus/node as obtained from the data * provided by the RDS, but could differ in some systems. * * - the jobids that are utilizing this node. In systems that allow * overloading of processes onto nodes, there may be multiple jobs * sharing a given node. * * - the status of the node (up, down, rebooting, etc.). This * information is provided and updated by the state-of-health (SOH) * monitoring subsystem. * * (b) the ORTE_JOB_SEGMENT. The RAS preallocates this segment, * initializing one container for each process plus one container to * store information that spans the job. This latter container houses * information such as the application names, number of processes per * application, process context (including argv and enviro arrays), * and i/o forwarding info. The RAS does NOT establish nor fill any of * the individual process info containers - rather, it preallocates * the storage for those containers and places some of the job-wide * information into that container. This info includes: * * - application names and number of processes per application * * - process context * * The remainder of the information in that container will be supplied * by other subsystems. * * (c) the ORTE_RESOURCE_SEGMENT. The RAS adds information to this * segment to indicate consumption of an available resource. In * particular, the RAS updates fields in the respective compute * resource to indicate the portion of that resource that has been * allocated and therefore can be presumed consumed. This includes * info on the number of nodes and cpus allocated to existing jobs - * these numbers are updated by the RAS when resources are deallocated * at the completion of a job. * * The information provided by the RAS is consumed by the resource * mapper subsystem (RMAPS) that defines which process is executed * upon which node/cpu, the process launch subsystem (PLS) that * actually launches each process, and others. * * Because the RAS operates as a multi-component framework (i.e., * multiple components may be simultaneously instantiated), the RAS * functions should NOT be called directly. Instead, they should be * accessed via the ORTE resource manager (RMGR) subsystem. * * */ #ifndef ORTE_MCA_RAS_H #define ORTE_MCA_RAS_H #include "orte_config.h" #include "orte/constants.h" #include "orte/types.h" #include "opal/mca/mca.h" #include "opal/class/opal_list.h" #include "orte/runtime/orte_globals.h" #include "ras_types.h" BEGIN_C_DECLS /* define the API functions */ typedef int (*orte_ras_base_API_allocate_fn_t)(orte_job_t *jdata); /* global structure for accessing RAS API's */ typedef struct { orte_ras_base_API_allocate_fn_t allocate; } orte_ras_t; ORTE_DECLSPEC extern orte_ras_t orte_ras; /* * ras module functions - these are not accessible to the outside world, * but are defined here by convention */ /** * Allocate resources to a job. */ typedef int (*orte_ras_base_module_allocate_fn_t)(opal_list_t *nodes); /** * Cleanup module resources. */ typedef int (*orte_ras_base_module_finalize_fn_t)(void); /** * ras module */ struct orte_ras_base_module_2_0_0_t { /** Allocation function pointer */ orte_ras_base_module_allocate_fn_t allocate; /** Finalization function pointer */ orte_ras_base_module_finalize_fn_t finalize; }; /** Convenience typedef */ typedef struct orte_ras_base_module_2_0_0_t orte_ras_base_module_2_0_0_t; /** Convenience typedef */ typedef orte_ras_base_module_2_0_0_t orte_ras_base_module_t; /* * ras component */ /** * Component init / selection * ras component */ struct orte_ras_base_component_2_0_0_t { /** Base MCA structure */ mca_base_component_t base_version; /** Base MCA data */ mca_base_component_data_t base_data; }; /** Convenience typedef */ typedef struct orte_ras_base_component_2_0_0_t orte_ras_base_component_2_0_0_t; /** Convenience typedef */ typedef orte_ras_base_component_2_0_0_t orte_ras_base_component_t; /** * Macro for use in components that are of type ras */ #define ORTE_RAS_BASE_VERSION_2_0_0 \ MCA_BASE_VERSION_2_0_0, \ "ras", 2, 0, 0 END_C_DECLS #endif
