Re: [OMPI devel] SC13 birds of a feather - thermal monitoring

2014-01-20 Thread Ralph Castain
Just as a follow-up to this: I have added a sensor module to monitor core temperatures per this email thread. I haven't added the cooling devices from this last bit as the info I could find under there didn't seem all that helpful right now - mostly just how fast the fan is running on a scale of

Ralph -- let's chat about this in Chicago next Friday. I'll add it to the agenda on the wiki. I assume this would not be difficult stuff; we don't really need to do anything fancy at all. I think we just want to sketch out what exactly we want to do, and it could probably be done in a day or

We had committers at HLRS, but they are not as active any more (some people left, funding priorities changed, etc.), and the VampirTrace folks are in the general area. We could point you to them if that would be of help. We also have a couple of folks in Spain who wrote the Java bindings, a few fo

Dear Ralph, do you know if Open MPI already have commiters in Munich? Any contact in the Technical University of Munich or the LRZ compute center could be easily reachable by us. In any case, I will need to get familiar with the internals of the library first. I am happy to say that the com

I'm not sure how many apps would benefit, but we are always interested in taking back patches that extend the ability for researchers to explore new capabilities provided they don't impact performance (or can be configured out if they do) and are self-maintained (i.e., either the researcher agrees

FWIW: ORTE already has a sensor framework in it that reads some of these things, so adding the coretemp etc is pretty trivial. These readings can be taken in the ORTE event thread on daemons, but we could allow procs to do so as well (if the app requests it), or can make it driven via the MPI_T fun

Hello everyone, I was at the birds of a feather and wanted to talk to the Open MPI developers, but unfortunately had to leave early. In particular, I would like to discuss about your implementation of the MPI tools interface and possibly contribute to it later on. Are some of you still arou
