4.0.x

  • Schedule: No schedule for v4.0.8 yet - sometime in 2022
    • bugfixes case-by-case basis

v4.1.x

  • Schedule: No schedule for v4.1.3 yet either - sometime in 2022

v5.0.0

  • Austen PRed a bunch of commits on master not yet in v5.0
    • 11 still need reviews.
  • Submodule pointers on v5.0 need updating
    • Still pointing at something on PMIx v4.1.x.
    • Brian PRing some fixes so we can update to PMIx v4.2
  • Seeing a ton of OSHMEM compile warnings
  • libNBC uninitialized variable. Jeff filed 9749 this morning (prob on both master and v5.0.x)

Master

  • Community Warm/Open to bringing in Sessions, but want to see Howard's PR later this week
  • Clock Monotomic - Jeff updated Timers.md in ompi-www
    • May only be Linux and OSX - maybe just an opal_inline, doesn't warrent a whole framework
    • WTIME a long time ago said not using framework.
      • Everyone just needs to agree to use one function
      • just need ompi_wtime (very MPI specific), wouldn't put it into opal
        • just going to call clock_gettime_monotomic_raw (doesn't allow for migrating to another core)
    • Maybe we should unify the times.
    • No requirement that MPI_Times to be comparable to Wtick and Wtime.
      • Quirks on different platforms.
    • Opal_Timers really build for opal progress where we needed a 10ms with low pertibation.

MTT

  • Cisco has some test build failures.
  • IBM has an OMPI build failure with XL compiler on ppc64le.
ompi_proc_sentinel_to_name(uintptr_t)$AF56_10.  Compilation ended.  Contact your Service
Representative and provide the following information: Internal abort. For more information visit:

make[1]: *** [Makefile:2665: all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:1478: all-recursive] Error 1
  • IBM's looking to workaround with Open MPI code change.

Open-MPI v5.0

Longer Term discussions

Doc update

  • OMPI docs and manpages, but persistant problem that mpirun is really prrterun

  • PR 8329 - convert README, HACKING, and possibly Manpages to restructured text.

    • Uses https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/ (Python tool, can pip install)
    • Intent this is for v5.0
      • mpirun / prrterun - we had quite a bit of details in orte, but are updating as much as possible.
    • Ralph has asked about this for PMIx/PRRTE since this is turning out to work

  • No update - 3/16

    • Could be independent of PMIx and PRRTE.
    • PMIx and PRRTE want to follow suite, and not require both pandoc and sphynx.
