===========================================================================
This file contains the main features as well as overviews of specific
bug fixes (and other actions) for each version of Open MPI since
version 1.0.
As more fully described in the "Software Version Number" section in
the README file, Open MPI typically releases two separate version
series simultaneously. Since these series have different goals and
are semi-independent of each other, a single NEWS-worthy item may be
introduced into different series at different times. For example,
feature F was introduced in the vA.B series at version vA.B.C, and was
later introduced into the vX.Y series at vX.Y.Z.
The first time feature F is released, the item will be listed in the
vA.B.C section, denoted as:
(** also to appear: X.Y.Z) -- indicating that this item is also
likely to be included in future release
version vX.Y.Z.
When vX.Y.Z is later released, the same NEWS-worthy item will also be
included in the vX.Y.Z section and be denoted as:
(** also appeared: A.B.C) -- indicating that this item was previously
included in release version vA.B.C.
Master (not on release branches yet)
------------------------------------
- ompi_info parsable output now escapes double quotes in values, and
also quotes values can contains colons. Thanks to Lev Givon for the
suggestion.
- CUDA-aware support can now handle GPUs within a node that do not
support CUDA IPC. Earlier versions would get error and abort.
- Do not build the MPI C++ bindings by default. They must be enabled
via --enable-mpi-cxx.
- Removed embedded VampirTrace. It is in maintenance mode since 2013.
Please consider Score-P (score-p.org) as an external replacement.
2.0.0 -- DATE
------
**********************************************************************
* Open MPI is now fully MPI-3.1 compliant
**********************************************************************
- Enhancements to reduce the memory footprint for jobs at scale. A
new MCA parameter, "mpi_add_procs_cutoff", is available to set the
threshold for using this feature.
- Many enhancements to MPI RMA. Open MPI now maps MPI RMA operations
on to native RMA operations for those networks which support this
capability.
- The MPI C++ bindings -- which were removed from the MPI standard in
v3.0 -- are no longer built by default and will be removed in some
future version of Open MPI. Use the --enable-mpi-cxx-bindings
configure option to build the deprecated/removed MPI C++ bindings.
- ompi_info now shows all components, even if they do not have MCA
parameters. The prettyprint output now separates groups with a
dashed line.
- Add support for PMIx - Process Management Interface for Exascale.
Version 1.1.2 of PMIx is included internally in this release.
- Add support for PLFS file systems in Open MPI I/O.
- Add support for UCX transport.
- Improved support for MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE (when configured with
--enable-mpi-thread-multiple).
- Simplify build process for Cray XC systems. Add support for
using native SLURM.
- Updated internal/embedded copies of third-part software:
- Update the internal copy of ROMIO to that which shipped in MPICH
3.1.4.
- Update internal copy of libevent to v2.0.22.
- Update internal copy of hwloc to v1.11.2.
- Add a --tune mpirun command line option to simplify setting many
environment variables and MCA parameters.
- Add a new MCA parameter -
"opal_common_verbs_want_fork_support". This replaces the
"btl_openib_want_fork_support" parameter.
- Add a new MCA parameter "orte_default_dash_host" to offer an analogue
to the existing "orte_default_hostfile" MCA parameter.
- Add --with-platform-patches-dir configure option.
- Add --with-pmi-libdir configure option for environments that install
PMI libs in a non-default location.
- Add the ability to specify the number of desired slots in the mpirun
--host option.
- In environments where mpirun cannot automatically determine the
number of slots available (e.g., when using a hostfile that does not
specify "slots", or when using --host without specifying a ":N"
suffix to hostnames), mpirun now requires the use of "-np N" to
specify how many MPI processes to launch.
- Removed some legacy support:
- Removed support for OS X Leopard.
- Removed support for Cray XT systems.
- Removed VampirTrace.
- Removed support for Myrinet/MX.
- Removed legacy collective module:ML.
- Removed support for Alpha processors.
- Removed --enable-mpi-profiling configure option.
- Removed checkpoint/restart code due to loss of maintainer. :-(
- Numerous fixes/improvements to orte-dvm. Special thanks to Mark
Santcroos for his help.
- Silence a compiler warning in PSM MTL. Thanks to Adrian Reber for
reporting this.
- Replace use of alloca with malloc for certain datatype creation
functions. Thanks to Bogdan Sataric for reporting this.
- Fix use of MPI_LB and MPI_UB in creation of of certain MPI datatypes.
Thanks to Gus Correa for helping to fix this.
- Implement a workaround for a GNU Libtool problem. Thanks to Eric
Schnetter for reporting and fixing.
- Improve hcoll library detection in configure. Thanks to David
Shrader and Ake Sandgren for reporting this.
- Fix problems with XRC detection in OFED 3.12 and older releases.
Thanks to Paul Hargrove for his analysis of this problem.
- Update (non-standard/experimental) Java MPI interfaces to support
MPI-3.1 functionality.
- Fix an issue with MCA parameters for Java bindings. Thanks to
Takahiro Kawashima and Siegmar Gross for reporting this issue.
- Fix a problem when using persistent requests in the Java bindings.
Thanks to Nate Chambers for reporting.
- Fix problem with Java bindings on OX X 10.11. Thanks to Alexander
Daryin for reporting this issue.
- Fix a performance problem for large messages for Cray XC systems.
Thanks to Jerome Vienne for reporting this.
- Fix an issue with MPI_WIN_LOCK_ALL. Thanks to Thomas Jahns for
reporting.
- Fix an issue with passing a parameter to configure multiple times.
Thanks to QuesarVII for reporting and supplying a fix.
- Add support for ALPS resource allocation system on Cray CLE 5.2 and
later. Thanks to Mark Santcroos.
- Corrections to the HACKING file. Thanks to Maximilien Levesque.
- Fix an issue with user supplied reduction operator functions.
Thanks to Rupert Nash for reporting this.
- Fix an issue with an internal list management function. Thanks to
Adrian Reber for reporting this.
- Fix a problem with MPI-RMA PSCW epochs. Thanks to Berk Hess for
reporting this.
- Fix a problem in neighborhood collectives. Thanks to Lisandro
Dalcin for reporting.
- Add (Open MPI-specific) additional flavors to MPI_COMM_SPLIT_TYPE.
See MPI_Comm_split_type(3) for details. Thanks to Nick Andersen for
supplying this enhancement.
- Improve closing of file descriptors during the job launch phase.
Thanks to Piotr Lesnicki for reporting and providing this
enhancement.

** the v1.8.x series, but with a few new features. v2.x will be the
** next series after the v1.10.x series, and complete the transition

values. Thanks to Andreas Schäfer for the contribution.
- Removed ASYNCHRONOUS keyword from the "ignore TKR" mpi_f08 module.
- Deprecated the following mpirun options:
--bynode, --bycore, --byslot: replaced with --map-by node|core|slot.
--npernode, --npersocket: replaced with --map-by ppr:N:node and
--map-by ppr:N:socket, respectively
- Pick NFS "infinitely stale" fix from ROMIO upstream.
- Various PMI2 fixes and extension to support broader range of mappings.
- Improve launch performance at large scale.
- Add support for PBS/Torque environments that set environment
variables to indicate the number of slots available on each nodes.
Set the ras_tm_smp MCA parameter to "1" to enable this mode.
- Add new, more scalable endpoint exchange (commonly called "modex")
method that only exchanges endpoint data on a per-peer basis
on first message. Not all transports have been updated to use
this feature. Set the rte_orte_direct_modex parameter to "1"
to enable this mode.
1.7.4: 5 Feb 2014
-----------------
**********************************************************************
* CRITICAL CHANGE
*
* As of release 1.7.4, OpenMPI's default mapping, ranking, and binding
* settings have changed:
*
* Mapping:
* if #procs <= 2, default to map-by core
* if #procs > 2, default to map-by socket
* Ranking:
* if default mapping is used, then default to rank-by slot
* if map-by <obj> is given, then default to rank-by <obj>,
* where <obj> is whatever object we mapped against
* Binding:
* default to bind-to core
*
* Users can override any of these settings individually using the
* corresponding MCA parameter. Note that multi-threaded applications
* in particular may want to override at least the binding default
* to allow threads to use multiple cores.
