Re: [OMPI devel] Scheduled merge of ORTE devel branch to trunk

Update on this plan... I am going to delay merging the branch over to the trunk for awhile, perhaps several weeks, for several reasons: 1. the trunk is somewhat unstable at the moment. Things are going in and being backed out, errors in recent commits being found and corrected, etc. at a pace I s

Hi Ralph - Eliminating the dependence of OMPI on the GPR is in some ways actually a plus, as it should make it much easier to enhance the GPR as an optional advanced capability. In general, it would be great if OMPI/ORTE could make it easier to support this sort of extension mechanism, for exampl

Hi Doug The changes are rather far-reaching. We essentially revamped the entire RTE to switch from an event-driven architecture to one based on sequential logic. This had large benefits, but the GPR was the casualty. Remember, the aim for the past year has been to create a dedicated "lean, mean OM

Wellbest laid plans of mice and men, as they say. We were just having -way- too much fun here at IBM today going over the new ORTE design, planning for future scalability changes, etc., so American decided to cancel my flight back home! So thoughtful! I will be spending my Wed (hopefully!) en

Hi Ralph - How extensive are the changes involved in removing the GPR? How hard would it be for someone to maintain an enhanced version of this as an addon or compile-time optional module? Thanks. - Doug On Mon, 11 Feb 2008, Ralph Castain wrote: > Hello all > > Per last week's telec

Ralph -- We talked about this on the OMPI con call today and everyone agrees that this seems to be a good plan. Just as a safety net: if the merge goes disastrously wrong and you're unavailable Thu/Fri this week, we can just back it out and try again later. Thanks! On Feb 11, 2008, at

[OMPI devel] Scheduled merge of ORTE devel branch to trunk

2008-02-11 Thread Ralph Castain
Hello all Per last week's telecon, we planned the merge of the latest ORTE devel branch to the OMPI trunk for after Sun had committed its C++ changes. That happened over the weekend. Therefore, based on the requests at the telecon, I will be merging the current ORTE devel branch to the trunk on W
