Gilles, The strange configure check comes from this commit https://github.com/open-mpi/hwloc/commit/6a9299ce9d1cb1c13b3b346fe6fdfed2df75c672 Are you sure your patch won't break something else? I'll ask Pavan what he thinks about your patch. I agree that it's crazy we don't find strncasecmp on

[OMPI devel] race condition in grpcomm/rcd

2014-09-09 Thread Gilles Gouaillardet
Folks, Since r32672 (trunk), grpcomm/rcd is the default module. the attached spawn.c test program is a trimmed version of the spawn_with_env_vars.c test case from the ibm test suite. when invoked on two nodes : - the program hangs with -np 2 - the program can crash with np > 2 error message is

Yeah, that's not the correct fix. The right way to fix it is for all three components to have their own RML tag, and for each of them to establish a persistent receive. They then can use the signature to tell which collective the incoming message belongs to. I'll fix it, but it won't be until

[OMPI devel] Stop updating the Trac wiki (Github conversion)

As part of our migration to Github, there are three main things to convert: 1. SVN -> Git 2. Trac wiki -> Github markdown 3. Track tickets -> Github issues I have a good automated solution for #1; that can be run whenever we're ready to switchover. I used an 80% automated solution for #2

maybe we should have another MCA parameter to specify desired policy? LAST,CONCAT,FIRST and let user select it? basically, it is to mimic "setenv(var,val,overwrite)" behavior which is easy to explain and good to have. On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 7:31 PM, Ralph Castain wrote: >

I can't see how a user would know how to use such a thing - which mca params can absorb a concatenated value? Why would you take the last vs the first instead of just providing a value only once? On Sep 9, 2014, at 10:42 AM, Mike Dubman wrote: > maybe we should have

Yoinks! Autocomplete in my email client sent this to the wrong list... hwloc conversion is already done. This message was meant for the main Open MPI developers list, not the hwloc list. Sorry for the noise... On Sep 9, 2014, at 12:03 PM, Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) wrote:
