===========================================================================
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
As more fully described in the "Software Version Number" section in
|
||
the README file, Open MPI typically releases two separate version
|
||
series simultaneously. Since these series have different goals and
|
||
are semi-independent of each other, a single NEWS-worthy item may be
|
||
introduced into different series at different times. For example,
|
||
feature F was introduced in the vA.B series at version vA.B.C, and was
|
||
later introduced into the vX.Y series at vX.Y.Z.
|
||
|
||
The first time feature F is released, the item will be listed in the
|
||
vA.B.C section, denoted as:
|
||
|
||
(** also to appear: X.Y.Z) -- indicating that this item is also
|
||
likely to be included in future release
|
||
version vX.Y.Z.
|
||
|
||
When vX.Y.Z is later released, the same NEWS-worthy item will also be
|
||
included in the vX.Y.Z section and be denoted as:
|
||
|
||
(** also appeared: A.B.C) -- indicating that this item was previously
|
||
included in release version vA.B.C.
|
||
|
||
Trunk (not on release branches yet)
|
||
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
- Add support for MPI_Dist_graph functionality (MPI 2.2).
|
||
- Do not build the MPI C++ bindings by default. They must be enabled
|
||
via --enable-mpi-cxx.
|
||
- Adding a new parallel I/O component and multiple new frameworks to
|
||
support parallel I/O operations.
|
||
- 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
|
||
- Added database framework to ORTE and changed all modex operations
|
||
to flow thru it, also included additional system info in the
|
||
available data
|
||
- Added staged state machine to support sequential work flows
|
||
- Added distributed file system support for accessing files across
|
||
nodes that do not have networked file systems
|
||
- Extended filem framework to support scalable pre-positioning of
|
||
files for use by applications, adding new "raw" component that
|
||
transmits files across the daemon network
|
||
- Native Windows support has been removed. A cygwin package is
|
||
available from that group for Windows-based use.
|
||
- Added MPI Java bindings
|
||
- Added new usnic BTL to support the Cisco usNIC device
|
||
- Wrapper compilers now add rpath support by default to generated
|
||
executables on systems that support it. This behavior can be
|
||
disabled via --disable-wrapper-rpath. See note in README about ABI
|
||
issues when using rpath in MPI applications.

|
||
|
||
|
||
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 internal copying functions in Open MPI's use of PLPA.
|
||

|
||
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.

|
||
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.

|
||
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.

|
||
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
|

- 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
|

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.
|
||
|
||
|

|
||
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

|
||
- Various fixes for size disparity between C int's and Fortran
|
||
INTEGER's. Thanks to Christoph van Wullen for the bug report.

|
||
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.
|

doesn't exist on Cygwin). Thanks to Gustavo Seabra for reporting
|
||
the issue.
|
||
- Various fixes to VampirTrace, including fixing compile errors on
|
||
some platforms.
|

- 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)

|
||
- Sanitized some #define macros used in mpi.h to avoid compiler warnings
|
||
caused by MPI programs built with different autoconf versions.

1.2.3
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
- Fix a regression in comm_spawn functionality that inadvertently
|
||
caused the mapping of child processes to always start at the same
|
||
place. Thanks to Prakash Velayutham for helping discover the
|
||
problem.
|
||
- Fix segfault when a user's home directory is unavailable on a remote

etc.).
|
||
- Significant performance improvements for MPI collectives,
|
||
particularly on high-speed networks.
|

- A variety of Fortran API fixes.
|
||
- Build the Fortran MPI API as a separate library to allow these
|
||
functions to be profiled properly.
|
||
- Add new --enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default configure option to always
|
||
imply the --prefix option to mpirun, preventing many rsh/ssh-based
|
||
users from needing to modify their shell startup files.
|
||
- Add a number of missing constants in the C++ bindings.
|
||
- Added tight integration with Sun N1 Grid Engine (N1GE) 6 and the
|
||
open source Grid Engine.
|
||
- Allow building the F90 MPI bindings as shared libraries for most
|
||
compilers / platforms. Explicitly disallow building the F90
|
||
bindings as shared libraries on OS X because of complicated
|
||
situations with Fortran common blocks and lack of support for
|
||
unresolved common symbols in shared libraries.
|
||
- Added stacktrace support for Solaris and Mac OS X.
|
||
- Update event library to libevent-1.1b.
|
||

|
||
setting MPI_ERROR during MPI_TEST/MPI_WAIT.
|
||
- Addition of "cm" PML to better support library-level matching
|
||
interconnects, with support for Myrinet/MX, and QLogic PSM-based
|
||
networks.
|
||
- Addition of "udapl" BTL for transport across uDAPL interconnects.
|
||
- Really check that the $CXX given to configure is a C++ compiler
|
||
(not a C compiler that "sorta works" as a C++ compiler).
|
||
- Properly check for local host only addresses properly, looking
|
||
for 127.0.0.0/8, rather than just 127.0.0.1.
|
||
|
||
|
||

Bert Wesarg for pointing this out.
|
||
- Add new MCA parameter (mpi_preconnect_oob) for pre-connecting the
|
||
"out of band" channels between all MPI processes. Most helpful for
|
||
MPI applications over InfiniBand where process A sends an initial
|
||
message to process B, but process B does not enter the MPI library
|
||
for a long time.
|
||
- Fix for a race condition in shared memory locking semantics.
|

- Fix a bunch of places in the Fortran MPI bindings where (MPI_Fint*)
|
||
was mistakenly being used instead of (MPI_Aint*).
|
||
- Fixes for fortran MPI_STARTALL, which could sometimes return
|
||
incorrect request values. Thanks to Tim Campbell for pointing out
|
||
the problem.
|
||
- Include both pre- and post-MPI-2 errata bindings for
|
||
MPI::Win::Get_attr.
|
||
- Fix math error on Intel OS X platforms that would greatly increase
|
||
shared memory latency.
|
||
- Fix type casting issue with MPI_ERRCODES_IGNORE that would cause
|
||
errors when using a C++ compiler. Thanks to Barry Smith for
|
||
bringing this to our attention.

|
||
MX BTL.
|
||
|
||
|

ompi_ddt_duplicate(). Thanks to Andreas Schafer for reporting,
|
||
diagnosing, and patching the leak.
|
||
- Used better performing basic algorithm for MPI_ALLGATHERV.
|
||
- Added a workaround for a bug in the Intel 9.1 C++ compiler (all
|
||
versions up to and including 20060925) in the MPI C++ bindings that
|

caused run-time failures. Thanks to Scott Weitzenkamp for reporting
|
||
this problem.
|
||
- Fix MPI_SIZEOF implementation in the F90 bindings for COMPLEX
|
||
variable types.

|
||
missing MPI::Grequest functionality to the C++ bindings.
|
||
- Add "mpi_preconnect_all" MCA parameter to force wireup of all MPI
|
||
connections during MPI_INIT (vs. making connections lazily whenever
|
||
the first MPI communication occurs between a pair of peers).
|
||
- Fix a problem for when $FC and/or $F77 were specified as multiple
|
||
tokens. Thanks to Orion Poplawski for identifying the problem and

|
||
- If using the Intel 9.0 v20051201 compiler on an IA64 platform, the

|
||
at Sandia National Laboratories and Martin Schaffoner for access to
|
||
testing facilities to make this happen.
|
||
- Added new command line options to mpirun:
|
||
--nolocal: Do not run any MPI processes on the same node as mpirun
|
||
(compatibility with the OSC mpiexec launcher)
|
||
--nooversubscribe: Abort if the number of processes requested would

|
||
about what they mean and where the errors are occurring.
|
||
- Various fixes to mpirun's handling of --prefix.
|
||
- Updates and fixes for Cray/Red Storm support.

|
||
between different F90 compilers.
|
||
- Addition of "trivial", "small" (the default), and "medium"
|
||
Fortran 90 MPI module sizes (v1.0.x's F90 module was
|
||
equivalent to "medium"). See the README file for more
|
||
explanation.
|
||
- Fix various MPI F90 interface functions and constant types to
|
||
match. Thanks to Michael Kluskens for pointing out the problems
|
||
to us.
|
||
- Allow short messagees to use RDMA (vs. send/receive semantics) to a
|
||
limited number peers in both the mvapi and openib BTL components.
|
||
This reduces communication latency over IB channels.
|
||
- Numerous performance improvements throughout the entire code base.
|
||
- Many minor threading fixes.
|
||
- Add a define OMPI_SKIP_CXX to allow the user to skip the mpicxx.h from
|
||
being included in mpi.h. It allows the user to compile C code with a CXX
|
||
compiler without including the CXX bindings.
|
||
- PERUSE support has been added. In order to activate it add
|
||
--enable-peruse to the configure options. All events described in
|
||
the PERUSE 2.0 draft are supported, plus one Open MPI
|
||
extension. PERUSE_COMM_REQ_XFER_CONTINUE allow to see how the data
|
||
is segmented internally, using multiple interfaces or the pipeline
|
||
engine. However, this version only support one event of each type
|
||
simultaneously attached to a communicator.
|
||
- Add support for running jobs in heterogeneous environments.
|
||
Currently supports environments with different endianness and
|
||
different representations of C++ bool and Fortran LOGICAL.
|
||
Mismatched sizes for other datatypes is not supported.
|
||
- Open MPI now includes an implementation of the MPI-2 One-Sided
|
||
Communications specification.
|
||
- Open MPI is now configurable in cross-compilation environments.
|
||
Several Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 tests need to be pre-seeded with
|
||
results from a config.cache-like file.
|
||
- Add --debug option to mpirun to generically invoke a parallel debugger.
|
||
|
||
|
||

- Added MPI_BOOL to the intrinsic reduction operations MPI_LAND,
|
||
MPI_LOR, MPI_LXOR. Thanks to Andy Selle for pointing this out to us.
|
||
- Fixed TCP BTL network matching logic during MPI_INIT; in some cases
|
||
on multi-NIC nodes, a NIC could get paired with a NIC on another
|
||
network (typically resulting in deadlock). Thanks to Ken Mighell
|
||
for pointing this out to us.
|
||
- Change the behavior of orterun (mpirun, mpirexec) to search for
|
||
argv[0] and the cwd on the target node (i.e., the node where the
|
||
executable will be running in all systems except BProc, where the
|
||
searches are run on the node where orterun is invoked).
|
||
- Fix race condition in shared memory transport that could cause
|

crashes on machines with weak memory consistency models (including
|
||
POWER/PowerPC machines).
|
||
- Fix warnings about setting read-only MCA parameters on bproc systems.
|
||
- Change the exit status set by mpirun when an application process is
|
||
killed by a signal. The exit status is now set to signo + 128, which
|
||
conforms with the behavior of (almost) all shells.
|
||
- Correct a datatype problem with the convertor when partially
|
||
unpacking data. Now we can position the convertor to any position
|
||
not only on the predefined types boundaries. Thanks to Yvan Fournier
|
||
for reporting this to us.
|
||
- Fix a number of standard I/O forwarding issues, including the
|
||
ability to background mpirun and a loss of data issue when

||
redirecting mpirun's standard input from a file.
|
||
- Fixed bug in ompi_info where rcache and bml MCA parameters would not
|
||
be displayed.

|
||
- The GNU assembler unbelievably defaults to making stacks executable.
|
||
So when using gas, add flags to explicitly tell it to not make
|
||
stacks executable (lame but necessary).
|
||
- Add missing MPI::Request::Get_status() methods. Thanks to Bill
|
||
Saphir for pointing this out to us.
|
||
- Improved error messages on memory registration errors (e.g., when
|
||
using high-speed networks).
|
||
- Open IB support now checks firmware for how many outstanding RDMA
|
||
requests are supported. Thanks to Mellanox for pointing this out to
|
||
us.
|

|
||
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).
|
||
|
||
|
||

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
