I did a large MTT run (about 7k tests) with the openib patch on rc6 and all came out good. I'll do the same run on rc7 -- the results should be identical. Will post results tomorrow morning. On Jan 15, 2009, at 5:24 PM, Tim Mattox wrote: Hi All, The seventh release candidate of Open MPI

Thanks. For my edification: are such trivial changes deserving of RFCs? Perfect for RFCs? Good for RFCs while I'm still getting my feet wet, but unnecessary once I get the hang of things? 1.4 was poor counting on my part: 1.3+1=1.4. The new math. I guess actually 1.3+1=1.3.1. I'm fine

Just for reference, if a power of 2 computation is in a performance critical path, using something like this would be better than a loop: http://aggregate.org/MAGIC/#Next%20Largest%20Power%20of%202 (it's not the exact same function, just subtract 1 before starting to get the same function, AFAIK.)

Ditto; kill it. I marginally prefer 1.4 because it really doesn't affect anything in the now-more-or-less-static 1.3 series, right? On Jan 15, 2009, at 5:01 PM, George Bosilca wrote: Absolutely! Why wait until the 1.4 while we can have that in the 1.3.1... george. On Jan 15, 2009, at

Okay, it is in the trunk as of r20284 - I'll file the request to have it moved to 1.3.1. Let me know if you get a chance to test the stdout/err stuff in the trunk - we should try and iterate it so any changes can make 1.3.1 as well. Thanks! Ralph On Jan 15, 2009, at 11:03 AM, Greg

Pasha and I *think* we have a fix. However, we're not quite clear on this part of the code, so we need some more testing and eyes on the code. I'll start the tests now -- given that this is a low-frequency bug, I'm going to run a slightly larger MTT run (several thousand tests) that'll
