[OMPI devel] v1.4 RM: ruling?

2011-05-19 Thread Jeff Squyres
v1.4 RMs: see the suggestion below. We have this text in trunk and v1.5; it's a fairly straightforward patch for v1.4. Do you want it in v1.4.4? On May 19, 2011, at 2:54 PM, Larry Baker wrote: > Consider adding the improved description for --with-tm from 1.5.3 > >> --with-tm(=DIR)

Jeff, Thanks for your reply. I inquired the same of PGI. Dave Borer, PGI Customer Service Manager, responded: I believe -fast and -fastsse are identical for 64-bit compilers, but there are some differences with 32-bit compilers. I don't think TCP/IP based MPI routines have better perf

This is a function of using two different subsystems that both put in their own --with-valgrind options in different .m4 scripts. It's solved in a different way on the trunk / v1.5. So I think we'll just have to live with it for v1.4.x. :-\ Many thanks for all these close inspections! On M

[OMPI devel] IO forwarding

2011-05-19 Thread Ralph Castain
Anyone out there using the orte-iof tool? I very much doubt it, but wanted to check before deleting it. Also, do we need to retain the ability for outside tools to attach to OMPI's io forwarding system? It's a bit of code to maintain, but I'll leave it if someone actually intends to use this to

With all the outputs from Paul and Sam, I think we'll be good. ...hmmm. Wait. I see that our 1.4.x configure *is* patched to have the extra ".". Here's the lines from configure in 1.4.3 and 1.4.4rc2: # Portland Group C++ compiler

We're not using the tool, but we are interested in the IO forwarding framework that allow external tools to attach/detach. george. On May 19, 2011, at 17:48 , Ralph Castain wrote: > Anyone out there using the orte-iof tool? I very much doubt it, but wanted to > check before deleting it. > >

Jeff, I ran into some kind of link error, I think, with PGI 10.3 and OpenMPI 1.4.2 last year. I am building a new cluster and we have PGI 11.4 now. I am consulting my notes and patches from 1.4.2 to inspect 1.4.3 to see if the problems I had have been fixed. I found the .m4 files I pat
