Agenda/New Business

lists.open-mpi.org isn't working

  • Jeff changed a setting, and they seem to be working now.

  • Introduced Austen Lauria (IBM) who will be working more directly with Open MPI

  • Intel is going to move a different direction than prte, due to a fully PMIx compliant resource manager.

  • Ralph will be retiring, though answering email.


Infrastrastructure

Submodule prototype

  • OMPI has been waiting for some git submodule work in Jenkins on AWS.

    • Need someone to have someone to figure out why Jenkins doesn't like Jeff's PR.
      • Anyone with github account for ompi team should have access.
      • PR 6821
      • Apparently Jenkin's isn't behaving as it should.
    • Three pieces: Jenkins, CI, bot.
      • AWS has a libfabirc setup like this for testing.
      • Issue is that they're reworking the design, and will rollout for both libfabric and open-mpi.
    • William Zhang talked to Brian
      • Not something AWS team will work on, but Brian will work on it.
    • Jeff will talk to Brian as well.
  • Howard and Jeff have access to Jenkins on AWS. Part of the problem is that we don't have much expertise on Jenkins/AWS.

    • William will probably be admining the Jenkins/AWS or communicating with those who will.
  • Merged --recurse-submodules update into ompi-scripts Jenkins script as first step. Let's see if that works.

  • Modular thread re-write (noah)

    • UGNI and Vader BTLs were getting better performance, not sure why.
    • For modular threading library, might be interesting to decide at compile time or runtime.
    • Previously similar things seemed to be related to ICACHE.
    • Howard will lok at.

Release Branches

Review v3.0.x Milestones v3.0.4

Review v3.1.x Milestones v3.1.4

  • Need to put an RC out soon (will discuss date with Brian)
  • Start drawing up a list of fixes that won't be backported to v3.0.x
    • Datatype bug won't be backported, because it snowballed too big.

    • Fixed on v4.0.x, needs to be cherry-picked to master and other branches.
    • OMPI_UNLIKELY versus OPAL_UNLIKELY
