- All of this in context in v5.0
- Intel is no longer driving PRRTE work, and Ralph won't be available for PRRTE much either.
- PRRTE will be a good PMIX developement environment, but no longer a focus to be a scale and robust launcher.
- OMPI community could come into PRRTE, and put in production / scalability testing, features, etc.
- Given that we have not been good at contributing to PRRTE (other than Ralph), there's another proposal
- There's been a drift from ORTE / PRRTE, so transitioning is risky.
- Step 1. Make PMIX a first class citizen
- Still good to keep PMIX as a static framework (no more glue, but still under
orte/mca/pmix, but basicly just passes through, and callPMIX_calls directly. - Allows us to still have internal backup PMIx if no external PMIX is found.
- Still good to keep PMIX as a static framework (no more glue, but still under
- Step 2. We can whittle down orte, since PMIX does much of this.
- Two things PRRTE won't care about, is scale and all binding patterns.
- Only recent versions of SLURM have PMIx
- Need to continue to support ssh.
- Not just core PMIx, still need daemons for SSH to work, but they're not part of PMIx.
- Part of ORTE that we wouldn't be deleting.
- What does Altair PbsPro and open source PbsPro do?
- Torque is different than PbsPro
- Are there OLD systems that we currently support that we still don't care, and could discontinue support in v5.x
- Who supports PMIx, and who doesn't
- If PMIx becomes a first class citizen and rest of code base just makes PMIx calls, how do we support these things?
- mpirun would still have to launch orteds via plm.
- srun wouldn't need
- But this is how it works today. Torque doesn't support PMIx at all, but TM just launches ORTEDs
- ALPS - aprun ./a.out - requires a.out to connect up to ALPS daemons.
- Cray still supports PMI - someone would need to write a PMI -> PMIX adapter.
- ORTE does not have the concept of persistant daemons
- Is there a situation where we might have a launcher launching ortes and we'd need to relay pmix calls to the correct pmix server layer?
- Generally we won't have that situation, since the launcher won't launch ORTEds.
- George's work currently depends on PRRTE
- If ORTEDs provides PMIx_Events, would that be enough?
- No George needs PRRTE's fault-tollerant overlay network.
- George will scope the effort to port that feature from PRRTE to ORTE.
- If ORTEDs provides PMIx_Events, would that be enough?
- ACTION - Please gather list of resource managers, and Tools that we care about supporting in Open-MPI v5.0.x
- Date looks good. Feb 17th right before MPI Forum
- 2pm monday, and maybe most of Tuesday
- Cisco has a portland facility and is happy to host.
- But willing to step asside if others want to host.
- about 20-30 min drive from MPI Forum, will probably need a car.
- It's official! Portland Oregon, Feb 17, 2020.
- Safe to begin booking travel now.

OMPI has been waiting for some git submodule work in Jenkins on AWS.
- Need someone to have someone to figure out why Jenkins doesn't like Jeff's PR.
- Anyone with github account for ompi team should have access.
- PR 6821
- Apparently Jenkin's isn't behaving as it should.
- Three pieces: Jenkins, CI, bot.
- AWS has a libfabirc setup like this for testing.
- Issue is that they're reworking the design, and will rollout for both libfabric and open-mpi.
- William Zhang talked to Brian
- Not something AWS team will work on, but Brian will work on it.
- Jeff will talk to Brian as well.
- Need someone to have someone to figure out why Jenkins doesn't like Jeff's PR.

Howard and Jeff have access to Jenkins on AWS. Part of the problem is that we don't have much expertise on Jenkins/AWS.
- William will probably be admining the Jenkins/AWS or communicating with those who will.
-
Merged
--recurse-submodulesupdate intoompi-scriptsJenkins script as first step. Let's see if that works. -
Modular thread re-write (noah)
- UGNI and Vader BTLs were getting better performance, not sure why.
- For modular threading library, might be interesting to decide at compile time or runtime.
- Previously similar things seemed to be related to ICACHE.
- Howard will lok at.

Review v3.0.x Milestones v3.0.4
Review v3.1.x Milestones v3.1.4
- Will put out RCs for v3.0.5 and v3.1.5 this week.
- Please test RCs when they become available.
- Start drawing up a list of fixes that won't be backported to v3.0.x
- Datatype bug won't be backported, because it snowballed too big.
- Will put out a list at new 3.0.x and 3.1.x releases of issues fixed in v4.0.x that's NOT being backported... please upgrade, in either NEWS or README.
Review v4.0.x Milestones v4.0.2
- v4.0.2 was released and haven't had any catastrophic issues come in.
- We're begining to merge in new v4.0.3 PRs
- Schedule: April 2020?
- Wiki - go look at items, and we should discuss a bit in weekly calls.
- Some items:
- MPI1 removed stuff.
Review Master Master Pull Requests
- IBM's PGI test has NEVER worked. Is it a real issue or local to IBM.
- Absoft 32bit fortran failures.
- No discussion this week.
- See older weekday notes for prior items.
