PMIx

  • ORTE/PRTE - Geoffroy Vallee sent out document with summary to core-devel. Everyone please read and reply.
    • Want to make sure that there are very good alternatives to whatever orte is turning into that will use PMIx.
    • Replacing framework and calling PMIx directly is a really good idea.
      • Will mess up if there is no native support for PMIx.
    • in Open MPI v5.0.x timeframe.

New topics

  • From last week:
    • MTT License discussion - MTT needs to be de-GPL-ified.
      • All go try the python. - All the GPL is in the perl modules (using python works around that).
      • Ralph started a PR, and now in limbo. Need to get this done by end of 2018
    • Main concern is python is in a repo with no GPL code.
      • Could delete perl alltogether, but may need to just move perl to different repo for a period of time, until everyone can move off of python.
    • Has cisco found an alternative to perl funclets?
      • Python ini execution is different than perls.
    • Cisco has one perl ini for each branch, and under than 20-30 mpi installs.
      • Probably will go with a template and stamp out 20-30 times

Review Master Master Pull Requests

  • PR for setting VERSION on master Have we broken any VERSIONs

Review Master MTT testing

  • Hope to have better Cisco MTT in a week or two

    • Peter is going through, and he found a few failures, which some have been posted.
      • one-sided - nathan's looking at.
      • some more coming.
    • OSC_pt2pt will exclude yourself in a MT run.
      • One of Cisco MTTs runs with env to turn all MPI_Init to MPI_Thread_init (even though single threaded run).
        • Now that osc_pt2pt is ineligible, many tests fail.
        • on Master, this will fix itself 'soon'
        • BLOCKER for v4.0 for this work so we'll have vader and something for osc_pt2pt.
        • Probably an issue on v3.x also.
      • Did this for release branches, Nathan's not sure if on Master. - v4.0.x has RMA capable vader. Once

  • OSHMEM v1.4 - cleanup work

    • How do we look for test coverage of this? Right now just basic API tests.

  • Next Face to Face?

    • When? Double dip with MPI Forum early December. Oct, Nov, 1st week of dec 3.
    • Where? San Jose - Cisco yes and maybe depending on date
      Albuquerque - Sandia (believe it's okay, but need to verify)
    • ACTION: Geoff will Doodle this
