===========================================================================
This file contains the main features as well as overviews of specific
bug fixes (and other actions) for each version of Open MPI since
version 1.0.
Trunk (not on release branches yet)
-----------------------------------
- Added --with-libltdl[=VALUE] option to allow using a libltdl
installation from outside of the Open MPI source tree.
- ErrMgr framework redesigned to better support fault tolerance development
activities. See the following RFC for details:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2010/03/7589.php
- Add pkg-config(1) configuration files for ompi, ompi-c, ompi-cxx,
ompi-f77, ompi-f90. See the README for more details.
- Add new sensor framework to ORTE that includes modules for detecting
stalled applications and processes that consume too much memory.
- Add new state framework to ORTE for saving and retrieving state
information (both application and system) to/from a database.
- Add new "orte-info" tool that provides MCA params for only ORTE and
OPAL levels - intended for use when configuring without MPI support
- Modified paffinity system to provide warning when bindings result in
being "bound to all", which is equivalent to "not bound"
1.5
---
- Updated shared library versioning scheme and linking style of MPI
applications. ABI has been broken from the v1.4 series; see the
README file for more details.
- Added "knem" support (direct process-to-process copying for shared
memory message passing). See http://runtime.bordeaux.inria.fr/knem/
and the README file for more details.
- Removed the libopenmpi_malloc library (added in the v1.3 series)
since it is no longer necessary
- Add several notifier plugins (generally used when Open MPI detects
system/network administrator-worthy problems); each have their own
MCA parameters to govern their usage. See "ompi_info --param
notifier <name>" for more details.
- twitter (yes, that Twitter) to send a Tweet.
- smtp (requires libesmtp) to send an email.
- command to execute arbitrary commands (e.g., run a script).

suite. Inspired directly from the upstream Libtool patches that fix
the issue (but we need something working before the next Libtool
release).
1.4
---
The *only* change in the Open MPI v1.4 release (as compared to v1.3.4)
was to update the embedded version of Libtool's libltdl to address a
potential security vulnerability. Specifically: Open MPI v1.3.4 was
created with GNU Libtool 2.2.6a; Open MPI v1.4 was created with GNU
Libtool 2.2.6b. There are no other changes between Open MPI v1.3.4
and v1.4.
1.3.4
-----
- Fix some issues in OMPI's SRPM with regard to shell_scripts_basename
and its use with mpi-selector. Thanks to Bill Johnstone for
pointing out the problem.
- Added many new MPI job process affinity options to mpirun. See the
newly-updated mpirun(1) man page for details.
- Several updates to mpirun's XML output.
- Update to fix a few Valgrind warnings with regards to the ptmalloc2
allocator and Open MPI's use of PLPA.
- Many updates and fixes to the (non-default) "sm" collective
component (i.e., native shared memory MPI collective operations).
- Updates and fixes to some MPI_COMM_SPAWN_MULTIPLE corner cases.
- Fix some internal copying functions in Open MPI's use of PLPA.
- Correct some SLURM nodelist parsing logic that may have interfered
with large jobs. Additionally, per advice from the SLURM team,
change the environment variable that we use for obtaining the job's
allocation.
- Revert to an older, safer (but slower) communicator ID allocation
algorithm.
- Fixed minimum distance finding for OpenFabrics devices in the openib
BTL.
- Relax the parameter checking MPI_CART_CREATE a bit.
- Fix MPI_COMM_SPAWN[_MULTIPLE] to only error-check the info arguments
on the root process. Thanks to Federico Golfre Andreasi for
reporting the problem.
- Fixed some BLCR configure issues.
- Fixed a potential deadlock when the openib BTL was used with
MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE.
- Fixed dynamic rules selection for the "tuned" coll component.
- Added a launch progress meter to mpirun (useful for large jobs; set
the orte_report_launch_progress MCA parameter to 1 to see it).
- Reduced the number of file descriptors consumed by each MPI process.
- Add new device IDs for Chelsio T3 RNICs to the openib BTL config file.
- Fix some CRS self component issues.
- Added some MCA parameters to the PSM MTL to tune its run-time
behavior.
- Fix some VT issues with MPI_BOTTOM/MPI_IN_PLACE.
- Man page updates from the Debain Open MPI package maintainers.
- Add cycle counter support for the Alpha and Sparc platforms.
- Pass visibility flags to libltdl's configure script, resulting in
those symbols being hidden. This appears to mainly solve the
problem of applications attempting to use different versions of
libltdl from that used to build Open MPI.
1.3.3
-----
- Fix a number of issues with the openib BTL (OpenFabrics) RDMA CM,
including a memory corruption bug, a shutdown deadlock, and a route
timeout. Thanks to David McMillen and Hal Rosenstock for help in
tracking down the issues.
- Change the behavior of the EXTRA_STATE parameter that is passed to
Fortran attribute callback functions: this value is now stored
internally in MPI -- it no longer references the original value
passed by MPI_*_CREATE_KEYVAL.
- Allow the overriding RFC1918 and RFC3330 for the specification of
"private" networks, thereby influencing Open MPI's TCP
"reachability" computations.
- Improve flow control issues in the sm btl, by both tweaking the
shared memory progression rules and by enabling the "sync" collective
to barrier every 1,000th collective.
- Various fixes for the IBM XL C/C++ v10.1 compiler.
- Allow explicit disabling of ptmalloc2 hooks at runtime (e.g., enable
support for Debian's builtroot system). Thanks to Manuel Prinz and
the rest of the Debian crew for helping identify and fix this issue.
- Various minor fixes for the I/O forwarding subsystem.
- Big endian iWARP fixes in the Open Fabrics RDMA CM support.
- Update support for various OpenFabrics devices in the openib BTL's
.ini file.
- Fixed undefined symbol issue with Open MPI's parallel debugger
message queue support so it can be compiled by Sun Studio compilers.
- Update MPI_SUBVERSION to 1 in the Fortran bindings.
- Fix MPI_GRAPH_CREATE Fortran 90 binding.

Number Cruncher for the fix.
- Added more Valgrind and other memory-cleanup fixes. Thanks to
various Open MPI users for help with these issues.
- Miscellaneous VampirTrace fixes.
- More fixes for openib credits in heavy-congestion scenarios.
- Slightly decrease the latency in the openib BTL in some conditions
(add "send immediate" support to the openib BTL).
- Ensure to allow MPI_REQUEST_GET_STATUS to accept an
MPI_STATUS_IGNORE parameter. Thanks to Shaun Jackman for the bug
report.
- Added Microsoft Windows support. See README.WINDOWS file for
details.
1.3.2
-----
- Fixed a potential infinite loop in the openib BTL that could occur
in senders in some frequent-communication scenarios. Thanks to Don
Wood for reporting the problem.
- Add a new checksum PML variation on ob1 (main MPI point-to-point
communication engine) to detect memory corruption in node-to-node
messages
- Add a new configuration option to add padding to the openib
header so the data is aligned
- Add a new configuration option to use an alternative checksum algo
when using the checksum PML
- Fixed a problem reported by multiple users on the mailing list that
the LSF support would fail to find the appropriate libraries at
run-time.
- Allow empty shell designations from getpwuid(). Thanks to Sergey
Koposov for the bug report.
- Ensure that mpirun exits with non-zero status when applications die
due to user signal. Thanks to Geoffroy Pignot for suggesting the
fix.
- Ensure that MPI_VERSION / MPI_SUBVERSION match what is returned by
MPI_GET_VERSION. Thanks to Rob Egan for reporting the error.
- Updated MPI_*KEYVAL_CREATE functions to properly handle Fortran
extra state.
- A variety of ob1 (main MPI point-to-point communication engine) bug
fixes that could have caused hangs or seg faults.
- Do not install Open MPI's signal handlers in MPI_INIT if there are
already signal handlers installed. Thanks to Kees Verstoep for
bringing the issue to our attention.
- Fix GM support to not seg fault in MPI_INIT.
- Various VampirTrace fixes.
- Various PLPA fixes.
- No longer create BTLs for invalid (TCP) devices.
- Various man page style and lint cleanups.
- Fix critical OpenFabrics-related bug noted here:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/announce/2009/03/0029.php.
Open MPI now uses a much more robust memory intercept scheme that is
quite similar to what is used by MX. The use of "-lopenmpi-malloc"
is no longer necessary, is deprecated, and is expected to disappear
in a future release. -lopenmpi-malloc will continue to work for the
duration of the Open MPI v1.3 and v1.4 series.
- Fix some OpenFabrics shutdown errors, both regarding iWARP and SRQ.
- Allow the udapl BTL to work on Solaris platforms that support
relaxed PCI ordering.
- Fix problem where the mpirun would sometimes use rsh/ssh to launch on
the localhost (instead of simply forking).
- Minor SLURM stdin fixes.
- Fix to run properly under SGE jobs.
- Scalability and latency improvements for shared memory jobs: convert
to using one message queue instead of N queues.
- Automatically size the shared-memory area (mmap file) to match
better what is needed; specifically, so that large-np jobs will start.
- Use fixed-length MPI predefined handles in order to provide ABI
compatibility between Open MPI releases.
- Fix building of the posix paffinity component to properly get the
number of processors in loosely tested environments (e.g.,
FreeBSD). Thanks to Steve Kargl for reporting the issue.
- Fix --with-libnuma handling in configure. Thanks to Gus Correa for
reporting the problem.
1.3.1
-----
- Added "sync" coll component to allow users to synchronize every N
collective operations on a given communicator.
- Increased the default values of the IB and RNR timeout MCA parameters.
- Fix a compiler error noted by Mostyn Lewis with the PGI 8.0 compiler.
- Fix an error that prevented stdin from being forwarded if the
rsh launcher was in use. Thanks to Branden Moore for pointing out
the problem.
- Correct a case where the added datatype is considered as contiguous but
has gaps in the beginning.
- Fix an error that limited the number of comm_spawns that could
simultaneously be running in some environments
- Correct a corner case in OB1's GET protocol for long messages; the
error could sometimes cause MPI jobs using the openib BTL to hang.
- Fix a bunch of bugs in the IO forwarding (IOF) subsystem and add some
new options to output to files and redirect output to xterm. Thanks to
Jody Weissmann for helping test out many of the new fixes and
features.

- Add ability to forward SIFTSTP and SIGCONT to MPI processes if you
set the MCA parameter orte_forward_job_control to 1.
- Allow the sm BTL to allocate larger amounts of shared memory if
desired (helpful for very large multi-core boxen).
- Fix a few places where we used PATH_MAX instead of OPAL_PATH_MAX,
leading to compile problems on some platforms. Thanks to Andrea Iob
for the bug report.
- Fix mca_btl_openib_warn_no_device_params_found MCA parameter; it
was accidentally being ignored.
- Fix some run-time issues with the sctp BTL.
- Ensure that RTLD_NEXT exists before trying to use it (e.g., it
doesn't exist on Cygwin). Thanks to Gustavo Seabra for reporting
the issue.
- Various fixes to VampirTrace, including fixing compile errors on
some platforms.
- Fixed missing MPI_Comm_accept.3 man page; fixed minor issue in
orterun.1 man page. Thanks to Dirk Eddelbuettel for identifying the
problem and submitting a patch.
- Implement the XML formatted output of stdout/stderr/stddiag.
- Fixed mpirun's -wdir switch to ensure that working directories for
multiple app contexts are properly handled. Thanks to Geoffroy
Pignot for reporting the problem.
- Improvements to the MPI C++ integer constants:
- Allow MPI::SEEK_* constants to be used as constants
- Allow other MPI C++ constants to be used as array sizes
- Fix minor problem with orte-restart's command line options. See
ticket #1761 for details. Thanks to Gregor Dschung for reporting
the problem.
1.3
---
- Extended the OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) workaround for a problem when
assembly code is compiled with -g[0-9]. Thanks to Barry Smith for
reporting the problem. See ticket #1701.
- Disabled MPI_REAL16 and MPI_COMPLEX32 support on platforms where the
bit representation of REAL*16 is different than that of the C type
of the same size (usually long double). Thanks to Julien Devriendt
for reporting the issue. See ticket #1603.
- Increased the size of MPI_MAX_PORT_NAME to 1024 from 36. See ticket #1533.
- Added "notify debugger on abort" feature. See tickets #1509 and #1510.
Thanks to Seppo Sahrakropi for the bug report.
- Upgraded Open MPI tarballs to use Autoconf 2.63, Automake 1.10.1,
Libtool 2.2.6a.
- Added missing MPI::Comm::Call_errhandler() function. Thanks to Dave
Goodell for bringing this to our attention.
- Increased MPI_SUBVERSION value in mpi.h to 1 (i.e., MPI 2.1).
- Changed behavior of MPI_GRAPH_CREATE, MPI_TOPO_CREATE, and several
other topology functions per MPI-2.1.
- Fix the type of the C++ constant MPI::IN_PLACE.
- Various enhancements to the openib BTL:
- Added btl_openib_if_[in|ex]clude MCA parameters for
including/excluding comma-delimited lists of HCAs and ports.
- Added RDMA CM support, includng btl_openib_cpc_[in|ex]clude MCA
parameters
- Added NUMA support to only use "near" network adapters
- Added "Bucket SRQ" (BSRQ) support to better utilize registered
memory, including btl_openib_receive_queues MCA parameter
- Added ConnectX XRC support (and integrated with BSRQ)
- Added btl_openib_ib_max_inline_data MCA parameter
- Added iWARP support
- Revamped flow control mechansisms to be more efficient
- "mpi_leave_pinned=1" is now the default when possible,
automatically improving performance for large messages when
application buffers are re-used
- Elimiated duplicated error messages when multiple MPI processes fail
with the same error.
- Added NUMA support to the shared memory BTL.
- Add Valgrind-based memory checking for MPI-semantic checks.
- Add support for some optional Fortran datatypes (MPI_LOGICAL1,
MPI_LOGICAL2, MPI_LOGICAL4 and MPI_LOGICAL8).
- Remove the use of the STL from the C++ bindings.
- Added support for Platform/LSF job launchers. Must be Platform LSF
v7.0.2 or later.
- Updated ROMIO with the version from MPICH2 1.0.7.
- Added RDMA capable one-sided component (called rdma), which
can be used with BTL components that expose a full one-sided
interface.
- Added the optional datatype MPI_REAL2. As this is added to the "end of"
predefined datatypes in the fortran header files, there will not be
any compatibility issues.
- Added Portable Linux Processor Affinity (PLPA) for Linux.
- Addition of a finer symbols export control via the visibiliy feature
offered by some compilers.
- Added checkpoint/restart process fault tolerance support. Initially
support a LAM/MPI-like protocol.
- Removed "mvapi" BTL; all InfiniBand support now uses the OpenFabrics
driver stacks ("openib" BTL).
- Added more stringent MPI API parameter checking to help user-level
debugging.
- The ptmalloc2 memory manager component is now by default built as
a standalone library named libopenmpi-malloc. Users wanting to
use leave_pinned with ptmalloc2 will now need to link the library
into their application explicitly. All other users will use the
libc-provided allocator instead of Open MPI's ptmalloc2. This change
may be overriden with the configure option enable-ptmalloc2-internal
- The leave_pinned options will now default to using mallopt on
Linux in the cases where ptmalloc2 was not linked in. mallopt
will also only be available if munmap can be intercepted (the
default whenever Open MPI is not compiled with --without-memory-
manager.
- Open MPI will now complain and refuse to use leave_pinned if
no memory intercept / mallopt option is available.
- Add option of using Perl-based wrapper compilers instead of the
C-based wrapper compilers. The Perl-based version does not
have the features of the C-based version, but does work better
in cross-compile environments.
1.2.9 (unreleased)
------------------
- Fix a segfault when using one-sided communications on some forms of derived
datatypes. Thanks to Dorian Krause for reporting the bug. See #1715.

shell will not do so (e.g. /bin/sh and /bin/ksh). See ticket #1560.
- Fix segfault in MPI_Init_thread() if ompi_mpi_init() fails. See ticket #1562.
- Adjust SLURM support to first look for $SLURM_JOB_CPUS_PER_NODE instead of
the deprecated $SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE environment variable. This change
may be *required* when using SLURM v1.2 and above. See ticket #1536.
- Fix the MPIR_Proctable to be in process rank order. See ticket #1529.
- Fix a regression introduced in 1.2.6 for the IBM eHCA. See ticket #1526.

- Updated ROMIO with the version from MPICH 1.2.7p1, marked as version
2005-06-09.
- Fixes for some cases where the use of MPI_BOTTOM could cause
problems.
- Properly handle the case where an mVAPI does not have shared receive
queue support (such as the one shipped by SilverStorm / Infinicon
for OS X).
1.0.1
-----
- Fixed assembly on Solaris AMD platforms. Thanks to Pierre Valiron
for bringing this to our attention.
- Fixed long messages in the send-to-self case.
- Ensure that when the "leave_pinned" option is used, the memory hooks
are also enabled. Thanks to Gleb Natapov for pointing this out.
- Fixed compile errors for IRIX.
- Allow hostfiles to have integer host names (for BProc clusters).
- Fixed a problem with message matching of out-of-order fragments in
multiple network device scenarios.
- Converted all the C++ MPI bindings to use proper const_cast<>'s
instead of old C-style casts to get rid of const-ness. Thanks to
Martin Audet for raising the issue with us.
- Converted MPI_Offset to be a typedef instead of a #define because it
causes problems for some C++ parsers. Thanks to Martin Audet for
bringing this to our attention.
- Improved latency of TCP BTL.
- Fixed index value in MPI_TESTANY to be MPI_UNDEFINED if some
requests were not MPI_REQUEST_NULL, but no requests finished.
- Fixed several Fortran MPI API implementations that incorrectly used
integers instead of logicals or address-sized integers.
- Fix so that Open MPI correctly handles the Fortran value for .TRUE.,
regardless of what the Fortran compiler's value for .TRUE. is.
- Improved scalability of MX startup.
- Fix datatype offset handling in the coll basic component's
MPI_SCATTERV implementation.
- Fix EOF handling on stdin.
- Fix missing MPI_F_STATUS_IGNORE and MPI_F_STATUSES_IGNORE
instanatiations. Thanks to Anthony Chan for pointing this out.
- Add a missing value for MPI_WIN_NULL in mpif.h.
- Bring over some fixes for the sm btl that somehow didn't make it
over from the trunk before v1.0. Thanks to Beth Tibbitts and Bill
Chung for helping identify this issue.
- Bring over some fixes for the iof that somehow didn't make it over
from the trunk before v1.0.
- Fix for --with-wrapper-ldflags handling. Thanks to Dries Kimpe for
pointing this out to us.
