Ok Jeff, I understand that openpmix is different community. I thought this is the same group who does the review and all. I also able to build the OpenPMIx independently from OpenMPI but needed the hwloc and libevent code to compile. With Brice’ concern whatever new features are being implement is not at all needed for 32-bit environment? And another point is earlier 32-bit machines are obsoleted and not used in clusters anymore? If not then no need to maintain 32-bit and I can start contributing to 5.0.x onwards; if that is what make best use of my time. (I was under impression that there 32-bit clusters which may need to use the latest and greatest features available in the OpenMPI).
Let me know. Regards, --Yatindra.

I don't know what they are offhand, but if you get compile errors when building PMIx in 32 bit environments, that's the errors that need to be fixed. Also, note that PMIx is technically a different community than Open MPI: you'll need to raise a PR in their repo. The fixes will need to be applied to their master branch (which is what Open MPI's main branch uses) and to their v4.2.x branch (which is what Open MPI's v5.0.x branch uses). Brice is raising more-or-less the same point that we have been raising here in Open MPI: HPC doesn't generally use 32 bit environments any more, and it's extra work to fix / maintain the code for environments where it is not used. If you're electing to do that extra work, that's fine.

I think that the PMIx's configure has a "if building in 32 bit mode, print a message that this is not supported and abort" (just like Open MPI). You will need to remove that check in order to be able to compile Open PMIx in 32 bit mode.

OpenPMIx is the "bottom" of the stack of Open MPI --> PRRTE --> OpenPMIx, so fixing the 32 bit issues there first is what makes sense -- see https://docs.open-mpi.org/en/v5.0.x/installing-open-mpi/required-support-libraries.html#library-dependencies. We have been trying to get Open MPI v5.0.0 out for quite a while, and seem to actually be getting closer to getting over the finish line. So getting these fixes in sooner rather than later would be better.

Just curious: are you replying in response to the discussion that just came up a few days ago on https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/11282, where we set the upcoming Open MPI v5.0's configure script to abort in 32-bit environments? I.e., are you part of the Debian community? Regardless, there are several aspects of 32 bit support that are needed: * Bug fixes in OpenPMIx * Potential bug fixes in PRRTE * Potential bug Open MPI * Testing of all 3 of the above Specifically: we know that there are 32-bit bugs in OpenPMIx that need to be resolved. As such, we stopped testing 32 bit in all 3 projects quite a while ago. Hence, even when 32-bit support is re-enabled in OpenPMIx, other 32-bit bugs may surface in PRRTE and Open MPI that require fixing. There will also need to be continual testing of all 3 of these in 32-bit environments. This likely doesn't mean writing new tests, but rather running at least some subset of our existing tests in 32 bit environments to ensure that everything works properly. Is this something that you would be able to provide?
