This is an attempt to summarize the status of the trunk and 1.7.4rc with respect to my testing.
There are 6 issues that to the best of my knowledge have not yet been conclusively closed. There might still be others buried in my sea of test results. 1. opal/util/path.c See thread beginning with http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2014/01/13597.php Jeff and I have fixed this in trunk and Jeff CMRed for 1.7.4. CMR was committed to v1.7 (changeset 30256) and thus just made the v1.7 tarball tonight. Closed for trunk. Closure for v1.7 just depends on me to test. 2. oshem_info reports oshmem:bindings:fort:yes unconditionally See thread beginning with http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2014/01/13616.php and restarted in http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2014/01/13677.php Mike Dubman indicated he will fix this for trunk. This does NOT apply to v1.7 (no oshmem). 3. configure refuses btl:verbs on Solaris See thread beginning with http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2014/01/13598.php Jeff has indicated he will look into this one on trunk. This does NOT apply to v1.7. 4. oob:tcp not using loopback interface for single-node runs See thread beginning with http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2014/01/13655.php Ralph and I determined that the reported issue was due to the firewall on my hosts blocking app-daemon connections. Can work around via "-mca oob_tcp_if_include lo" Ralph *may* see about a way to use loopback by default, but probably not prior to 1.7.5 This issue is present both in trunk and v1.7 5. pgi-8 and pgi-9 fail building mpi_f08 See thread beginning with http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2014/01/13651.php Jeff is actively working to improve configure tests to disqualify these compilers. This issue as initially reported is present in v1.7 In trunk the same issue is present for pgi-9, but is worse (configure "Cannot continue") for pgi-8 6. netbsd-amd64 "make install" failure See thread beginning with http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2013/12/13515.php The issue does NOT appear on netbsd-i386 (reason unknown) My attempts to autogen with the netbsd-supplied libtool turned up another (now resolved) issue, but didn't fix this one. Nobody has even commented on this issue. This issue is present both in trunk and v1.7 As far as I am concerned only #1 *must* be resolved for 1.7.4, and I am going to do my part ASAP. Items #2 and #3 are trunk-only. Resolving #4 would be nice, but has a simple work around and is an issue only on a "broken" host. Resolving #5 would be great, but IMHO documenting these compilers as unsupported for mpi_f08 would be sufficient. Resolving #6 seems unlikely given the level of interest so far. -Paul -- Paul H.
