a git repository to fork as a starting point, and a docker image)
- Started but not finished a SMPI tutorial inspired from the JLPC'14 one.
- The Developper manual is still to be converted (not compiled until then)
+ - Some parts are still missing in this conversion (such as the
+ platform and deployment sections) while others were blindly converted
+ and would need more love (such as the configuration flags).
+ Things will certainly further improve in the future releases.
S4U new features:
- Fully reimplement auto_restart mechanism that was utterly broken
(fix #22, #131 and #281 that were all very related)
+ - Implement semaphores (fix #303 and #291)
- When creating an actor from a function and its parameters,
move-only parameters are not allowed anymore, as it would prevent
the actor to be restartable if its parameters are consumed on run.
- Remove portability wrapper to condition variables
- Remove xbt_os_thread_yield()
+SMPI:
+ - MPICH collective selector now mimics MPICH 3.3b
+ - OpenMPI collective selector now mimics OpenMPI 3.1.2 (default "tuned" setting)
+ - MPI_Init(NULL,NULL) is now allowed
+ - smpi/wtime option now injects time in gettimeofday or clock_gettime calls
+ - Command-line arguments should now be handled properly in Fortran simulations
+ - MPI Attributes and related callbacks should work in Fortran
+ - Apps using C + Fortran should now work
+ - MPI_* calls now check for non MPI_SUCCESS return values and emit warnings
+ - Support MPI_Error_String
+
Java:
- Due to an internal bug, Msg.run() must now be your last line.
We hope to fix it in a future release, and we are sorry for the inconvenience.
- #288: MPI_Init(NULL, NULL)
- #289: Improve documentation of Actor::on_destruction and this_actor::on_exit()
- #290: Method to check if a mailbox has a message ready to be consumed
+ - #291: [s4u] semaphores do not seem available yet
- #294: Alltoall collective implementation of mpich
- #295: Starting a Host as OFF is not supported
- #296: DTD too permissive
