\chapter{Supported MPI Functionality}
|
|
\label{sec:mpi-functionality}
|
|
|
|
This chapter discusses the exact levels of MPI functionality that is
|
|
supported by Open MPI.
|

\section{MPI-1 Support}
|
|
|
|
Open MPI \ompiversion\ has support for all MPI-1 functionality.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Language Bindings}
|
|
\label{sec:mpi-details-mpi1-language}
|
|
|
|
Open MPI provides C, C++, Fortran 77, and Fortran 90 bindings for all
|
|
MPI-1 functions, types, and constants.
|
|
%
|
|
Profiling support is available in all four languages (if Open MPI was
|
|
configured and compiled with profiling support). The \icmd{ompi\_info}
|
|
command can be used to see if profiling support was included in
|
|
Open MPI.
|
|
|
|
{\Huge JMS needs massive overhauling}
|
|
|
|
Support for optional Fortran types has now been added.
|
|
Table~\ref{tbl:mpi-details-optional-fortran-dtypes} lists the new
|
|
datatypes. Note that \mpidatatype{MPI\_\-INTEGER8} and
|
|
\mpidatatype{MPI\_\-REAL16} are listed even though they are not
|
|
defined by the MPI standard. Support for these types is included per
|
|
request from Open MPI users.

|
|
|
\subsection{\mpifunc{MPI\_\-CANCEL}}
|
|
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-CANCEL} works properly for receives, but will almost
|
|
never work on sends. \mpifunc{MPI\_\-CANCEL} is most frequently used
|
|
with unmatched \mpifunc{MPI\_\-IRECV}'s that were made ``in case'' a
|
|
matching message arrived. This simply entails removing the receive
|
|
request from the local queue, and is fairly straightforward to
|
|
implement.
|
|
|
|
Actually canceling a send operation is much more difficult because
|
|
some meta information about a message is usually sent immediately. As
|
|
such, the message is usually at least partially sent before an
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-CANCEL} is issued. Trying to chase down all the
|
|
particular cases is a nightmare, to say the least.
|
|
|
|
As such, the Open MPI Team decided not to implement \mpifunc{MPI\_\-CANCEL}
|
|
on sends, and instead concentrate on other features.
|
|
|
|
But in true MPI Forum tradition, we would be happy to discuss any code
|
|
that someone would like to submit that fully implements
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-CANCEL}.

\section{MPI-2 Support}
|
|
|
|
Open MPI \lamversion\ has support for many MPI-2 features. The main
|
|
chapters of the MPI-2 standard are listed below, along with a summary
|
|
of the support provided for each chapter.

\subsection{Miscellany}
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Portable MPI Process Startup.}
|
|
|
|
The \icmd{mpiexec} command is now supported. Common examples include:
|
|
|
|
\lstset{style=lam-shell}
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
# Runs 4 copes of the MPI program my_mpi_program
|
|
shell$ mpiexec -n 4 my_mpi_program
|
|
|
|
# Runs my_linux_program on all available Linux machines, and runs
|
|
# my_solaris_program on all available Solaris machines
|
|
shell$ mpiexec -arch linux my_linux_program : -arch solaris my_solaris_program
|
|
|
|
# Boot the Open MPI run-time environment, run my_mpi_program on all
|
|
# available CPUs, and then shut down the Open MPI run-time environment.
|
|
shell$ mpiexec -machinefile hostfile my_mpi_program
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
% stupid emacs mode: $
|
|
|
|
See the \file{mpiexec(1)} man page for more details on supported
|
|
options as well as more examples.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Passing \const{NULL} to \mpifunc{MPI\_\-INIT}.}
|
|
|
|
Passing \const{NULL} as both arguments to \mpifunc{MPI\_\-INIT} is
|
|
fully supported.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Version Number.}
|
|
|
|
Open MPI \lamversion\ reports its MPI version as 1.2 through the function
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-GET\_\-VERSION}.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Datatype Constructor \mpifunc{MPI\_\-TYPE\_\-CREATE\_\-INDEXED\_\-BLOCK}.}
|
|
|
|
The MPI function \mpifunc{MPI\_\-TYPE\_\-CREATE\_\-INDEXED\_\-BLOCK}
|
|
is not supported by Open MPI.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Treatment of \mpitype{MPI\_\-Status}.}
|
|
|
|
Although Open MPI supports the constants \mpiconst{MPI\_\-STATUS\_\-IGNORE}
|
|
and \mpiconst{MPI\_\-STATUSES\_\-IGNORE}, the function
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-REQUEST\_\-GET\_\-STATUS} is not provided.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Error class for invalid keyval.}
|
|
|
|
The error class for invalid keyvals, \mpiconst{MPI\_\-ERR\_\-KEYVAL},
|
|
is fully supported.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Committing committed datatype.}
|
|
|
|
Committing a committed datatype is fully supported; its end effect is
|
|
a no-op.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Allowing user functions at process termination.}
|
|
|
|
Attaching attributes to \mpiconst{MPI\_\-COMM\_\-SELF} that have
|
|
user-specified delete functions will now trigger these functions to be
|
|
invoked as the first phase of \mpifunc{MPI\_\-FINALIZE}. When these
|
|
functions are run, MPI is still otherwise fully functional.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Determining whether MPI has finished.}
|
|
|
|
The function \mpifunc{MPI\_\-FINALIZED} is fully supported.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{The {\sf Info} object.}
|
|
|
|
Full support for \mpitype{MPI\_\-Info} objects is provided. See
|
|
Table~\ref{tbl:mpi-details-info-functions}.
|
|
|
|

\end{table}
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Memory allocation.}
|
|
|
|
The \mpifunc{MPI\_\-ALLOC\_\-MEM} and \mpifunc{MPI\_\-FREE\_\-MEM}
|
|
functions will return ``special'' memory that enable fast memory
|
|
passing in RPIs that support it.
|
|
%
|
|
These functions are simply wrappers to \func{malloc()} and
|
|
\func{free()} (respectively) in RPI modules that do not take advantage
|
|
of ``special'' memory.
|
|
%
|
|
These functions can be used portably for potential performance gains.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Language interoperability.}
|
|
|
|
Inter-language interoperability is supported. It is possible to
|
|
initialize Open MPI from either C or Fortran and mix MPI calls from
|
|
both languages. Handle conversions for inter-language
|
|
interoperability are fully supported. See
|
|
Table~\ref{tbl:mpi-details-handle-conversion-functions}.

\mpidatatype{MPI\_\-UNSIGNED\_\-LONG\_\-LONG} and
|
|
\mpidatatype{MPI\_\-WCHAR} basic datatypes.

\subsection{Process Creation and Management}
|
|
|
|
Open MPI supports all MPI-2 dynamic process management.
|
|
Table~\ref{tbl:mpi-details-dynamic-functions} lists all the supported
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
\begin{table}[htbp]

|
|
\caption{Supported MPI-2 dynamic functions.}
|
|
\label{tbl:mpi-details-dynamic-functions}
|
|
\end{table}
|
|
|
|
As requested by Open MPI users, \mpifunc{MPI\_\-COMM\_\-SPAWN} and
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-COMM\_\-SPAWN\_\-MULTIPLE} supports some
|
|
\mpitype{MPI\_\-Info} keys for spawning MPMD applications and for more
|
|
fine-grained control about where children processes are spawned. See
|
|
the \file{MPI\_\-Comm\_\-spawn(3)} man page for more details.
|
|
|
|
These functions supersede the \mpifunc{MPIL\_\-COMM\_\-SPAWN} function
|
|
that Open MPI introduced in version 6.2b. Hence,
|
|
\mpifunc{MPIL\_\-COMM\_\-SPAWN} is no longer available.
|
|
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
|
|
\subsection{One-Sided Communication}
|
|
|
|
Support is provided for get/put/accumulate data transfer operations
|
|
and for the post/wait/start/complete and fence synchronization
|
|
operations. No support is provided for window locking.
|
|
|
|
The datatypes used in the get/put/accumulate operations are restricted
|
|
to being basic datatypes or single level contiguous/vectors of basic
|
|
datatypes.
|
|
|
|
The implementation of the one-sided operations is layered on top of
|
|
the point-to-point functions, and will thus perform no better than
|
|
them. Nevertheless it is hoped that providing this support will aid
|
|
developers in developing and debugging codes using one-sided
|
|
communication.
|
|
|
|
Table~\ref{tbl:mpi-details-one-sided-functions} lists the functions
|
|
related to one-sided communication that have been implemented.

|
|
\label{sec:mpi:extended-collectives}
|
|
|
|
\changebegin{7.1}
|
|
|

Open MPI implements the new MPI-2 collective functions
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-EXSCAN} and \mpifunc{MPI\_\-ALLTOALLW} for
|
|
intracommunicators.
|
|
|
|
Intercommunicator collectives are implemented for all the functions
|
|
listed in Table~\ref{tbl:mpi-details-intercomm-collective-functions}.
|
|
Notably, intercommunicator collectives are {\em not} defined for
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-SCAN} (because the MPI standard does not define it),
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-ALLGATHERV}, and
|
|
\mpifunc{MPI\_\-EXSCAN}.\footnote{These two functions were

\subsection{I/O}
|
|
|
|
MPI-IO support is provided by including the ROMIO package from Argonne
|
|
National Labs,\footnote{\url{http://www.mcs.anl.gov/romio/}} version
|
|
1.2.5.1.
|
|
%
|
|
The Open MPI wrapper compilers (\icmd{mpicc}, \icmd{mpiCC}/\icmd{mpic++},
|
|
and \icmd{mpif77}) will automatically provide all the necessary flags
|
|
to compile and link programs that use ROMIO function calls.
|
|
|
|
Although the ROMIO group at Argonne has included support for Open MPI in
|
|
their package, there are still a small number of things that the Open MPI
|
|
Team had to do to make ROMIO compile and install properly with
|
|
Open MPI. As such, if you try to install the ROMIO package manually
|
|
with Open MPI, you will experience some difficulties.
|
|
|
|
There are some important limitations to ROMIO that are discussed in
|
|
the \file{romio/README} file.
|
|
%
|
|
One limitation that is not currently listed in the ROMIO README file
|
|
is that atomic file access will not work with AFS. This is because of
|
|
file locking problems with AFS (i.e., AFS iteself does not support
|
|
file locking). The ROMIO test program \cmd{atomicity} will fail if
|
|
you specify an output file on AFS.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, ROMIO does not support the following Open MPI functionality:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Open MPI MPI-2 datatypes cannot be used with ROMIO; ROMIO makes the
|
|
fundamental assumption that MPI-2 datatypes are built upon MPI-1
|
|
datatypes. Open MPI builds MPI-2 datatypes natively -- ROMIO cannot
|
|
presently handle this case.
|
|
|
|
This will hopefully be fixed in some future release of ROMIO. The
|
|
ROMIO test programs \cmd{coll\_\-test}, \cmd{fcoll\_\-test},
|
|
\cmd{large\_\-array}, and \cmd{coll\_\-perf} will fail because they
|
|
use the MPI-2 datatype \mpidatatype{MPI\_\-DARRAY}.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Please see the sections ``ROMIO Users Mailing List'' and ``Reporting
|
|
Bugs'' in \file{romio/README} for how to submit questions and bug
|
|
reports about ROMIO (that do not specifically pertain to Open MPI).

\subsection{Language Bindings}
|
|
|
|
Open MPI provides C, C++, and Fortran 77 bindings for all supported MPI-2
|
|
functions, types, and constants. Open MPI does not provide a Fortran 90
|
|
module.
|
|
%
|
|
However, it is possible to use the Fortran 77 bindings with a Fortran
|
|
90 compiler by specifying the F90 compiler as your Fortran compiler
|
|
when configuring/compiling Open MPI. See the Open MPI Installation
|
|
Guide~\cite{lamteam03:_lam_mpi_install_guide} for more details.
|
|
|
|
The C++ bindings include support for the C++ only \mpitype{MPI::BOOL},
|
|
\mpitype{MPI::COMPLEX}, \mpitype{MPI::DOUBLE\_\-COMPLEX}, and
|
|
\mpitype{MPI::LONG\_\-DOUBLE\_\-COMPLEX} datatypes.
|
|
|
|
Note that there are some issues with using MPI and Fortran 90
|
|
together. See the F90 / C++ chapter in the MPI-2
|
|
standard~\cite{geist96:_mpi2_lyon} for more information on using MPI
|
|
with Fortran 90.
|
|
|
|
As mentioned in Section~\ref{sec:mpi-details-mpi1-language}, profiling
|
|
support is available in all three languages (if Open MPI was compiled
|
|
with profiling support). The \icmd{ompi\_info} command can be used to
|
|
see if profiling support was included in Open MPI.
