The Open MPI Team, representing a consortium of research, academic, and 
industry partners, is pleased to announce the release of Open MPI version 
1.7.2. 


This is a bug-fix release driven by two issues in the v1.7.0 release. 

- Add a distance-based mapping component to find the socket "closest"
  to the PCI bus.
- Added Location Aware Mapping Algorithm (LAMA) mapping component.
- Fix an error that caused epoll to automatically be disabled
  in libevent.
- Upgrade hwloc to 1.5.2.
- *Really* fixed XRC compile issue in Open Fabrics support.
- Fixed parallel debugger ability to attach to MPI jobs.
- Fix MXM connection establishment flow.
- Fixed some minor memory leaks.
- Fixed datatype corruption issue when combining datatypes of specific
  formats.
- Fixes for MPI_STATUS handling in corner cases.
- Major VampirTrace update to 5.14.4.2.
  (** also appeared: 1.6.5)
- Fix to set flag==1 when MPI_IPROBE is called with MPI_PROC_NULL.
  (** also appeared: 1.6.5)
- Set the Intel Phi device to be ignored by default by the openib BTL.
  (** also appeared: 1.6.5)
- Decrease the internal memory storage used by intrinsic MPI datatypes
  for Fortran types.  Thanks to Takahiro Kawashima for the initial
  patch.
  (** also appeared: 1.6.5)
- Fix total registered memory calculation for Mellanox ConnectIB and
  OFED 2.0.
  (** also appeared: 1.6.5)
- Fix possible data corruption in the MXM MTL component.
  (** also appeared: 1.6.5)
- Remove extraneous -L from hwloc's embedding.  Thanks to Stefan
  Friedel for reporting the issue.
  (** also appeared: 1.6.5)
- Fix contiguous datatype memory check.  Thanks to Eric Chamberland
  for reporting the issue.
  (** also appeared: 1.6.5)
- Make the openib BTL more friendly to ignoring verbs devices that are
  not RC-capable.

[Open MPI Announce] Open MPI 1.6.5 released

2013-06-26 Thread Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) 
The Open MPI Team, representing a consortium of research, academic, and 
industry partners, is pleased to the next release in the stable release series: 
Open MPI version 1.6.5. 

Version 1.6.5 is a minor bugfix release. All users are encouraged to upgrade to 
v1.6.5 when possible. 

Note that v1.6.5 is ABI compatible with the entire v1.5.x and v1.6.x series, 
but is not ABI compatible with the v1.4.x series. See 
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/versions/ for a description of Open MPI's 
release methodology. 

Version 1.6.5 can be downloaded from the main Open MPI web site or any of its 
mirrors (Windows binaries may be available eventually; Open MPI needs a new 
Windows maintainer -- let us know on the developers' list if you're interested 
in helping out). 

Here is a list of changes in v1.6.5 as compared to v1.6.4: 

- Updated default SRQ parameters for the openib BTL.
  (** also to appear: 1.7.2)
- Major VampirTrace update to 5.14.4.2.
  (** also to appear: 1.7.2)
