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.

ORTE_SNAPC \- Open RTE MCA Snapshot Coordination (SnapC) Framework: Overview of

Open RTE's SnapC framework, and selected modules. #PACKAGE_NAME# #PACKAGE_VERSION#

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Open RTE can coordinate the generation of a global snapshot of a parallel job
|
|
from many distributed local snapshots. The components in this framework
|
|
determine how to: Initiate the checkpoint of the parallel application, gather
|
|
together the many distributed local snapshots, and provide the user with a
|
|
global snapshot handle reference that can be used to restart the parallel
|
|
application.
|
|

.\" General Process Requirements Section

.\" **************************
|
|
.SH GENERAL PROCESS REQUIREMENTS
|
|
.PP
|
|
In order for a process to use the Open RTE SnapC components it must adhear to a
|
|
few programmatic requirements.
|
|
.PP
|
|
First, the program must call \fIORTE_INIT\fR early in its execution. This
|
|
should only be called once, and it is not possible to checkpoint the process
|
|
without it first having called this function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The program must call \fIORTE_FINALIZE\fR before termination.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A user may initiate a checkpoint of a parallel application by using the
|
|
orte-checkpoint(1) and orte-restart(1) commands.
|

|
|
.SH AVAILABLE COMPONENTS
|
|
.PP
|
|
Open RTE ships with one SnapC component: \fIfull\fR.
|
|
.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following MCA parameters apply to all components:
|
|
.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
snapc_base_verbose
|
|
Set the verbosity level for all components. Default is 0, or silent except on error.
|
|
.
|
|
.\" full Component
|
|
.\" ******************
|
|
.SS full SnapC Component
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIfull\fR component gathers together the local snapshots to the disk local
|
|
to the Head Node Process (HNP) before completing the checkpoint of the process. This
|
|
component does not currently support replicated HNPs, or timer based gathering
|
|
of local snapshot data. This is a 3-tiered hierarchy of coordinators.
|
|
.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIfull\fR component has the following MCA parameters:
|
|
.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
snapc_full_priority
|
|
The component's priority to use when selecting the most appropriate component
|
|
for a run.
|
|
.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
snapc_full_verbose
|
|
Set the verbosity level for this component. Default is 0, or silent except on
|
|
error.
|
|
.
|
|
.\" Special 'none' option
|
|
.\" ************************
|
|
.SS none SnapC Component
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fInone\fP component simply selects no SnapC component. All of the SnapC
|
|
function calls return immediately with ORTE_SUCCESS.
|
|
.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This component is the last component to be selected by default. This means that if
|
|
another component is available, and the \fInone\fP component was not explicity
|
|
requested then ORTE will attempt to activate all of the available components
|
|
before falling back to this component.
