Hello all -
LAM/MPI 7.1.3b5 has been posted on the LAM/MPI web page. Barring the
discovery of any new problems, this will be the basis of the 7.1.3
release sometime this week. We'd like to invite everyone to give it
a try. You can download 7.1.3b5 from:
http://www.lam-mpi.org/beta/
Please remember that while we believe this is ready for release, it
is still beta software. There may be unknown issues. While we'd
like to discover them now, you probably shouldn't deploy this beta in
a production environment :).
Changes since 7.1.2:
- A number of man page cleanups suggested by Eric Raymond.
- Search $PATH for tkill, in addition to the default install
location and $LAMHOME/bin. Also, do not segfault if tkill
is not found after searching all these locations. Thanks to
Josh Lehan and Jeff Squyres for the patch.
- Abort rather than hang if lamboot is unable to get the list of
local network devices.
- Fix for hangs in 64 bit builds on Mac OS X systems (Intel and
PowerPC)
- Correct check for localhost in hostfiles during lamboot to check
for 127.0.0.0/8 instead of 127.0.0.1/32, to meet RFC 1700. Thanks
to Martin Knoblauch for the patch.
- Added support for Fortran types MPI_REAL{4,8,16} for predefined
reduction operations supported by floating point types (MPI_MAX,
MPI_MIN, MPI_SUM, MPI_PROD).
- Fixed error in IB rpi that could cause compiler errors with some
compilers. Thanks to Jens Klostermann for bringing this to our
attention.
- Fixed error with MPI_COMM_ACCEPT on Fedora 4 that would cause a
"bad address error". Thanks to Orion Poplawski for the fix.
- Renamed internal strtonum function lam_strtonum to avoid clashes
with a function of the same name in FreeBSD.
- Fixed installation issue on Cygwin when trying to make symlinks to
executables (such as lamwipe -> wipe).
- Fix bug with comments in hostfiles where a comment in the middle of
a line would cause the entire line to be ignored. Thanks to
Christian Siebert for bringing this to our attention.
- Build the totalview queue debugging shared object as a dynamically
loaded shared object instead of a shared library. Fixes an issue
on Mac OS X where the TotalView library could not be found.
- Cleanup restart logic in 'cr self' module. Add a bunch of
documentation
regarding this module to the man page, and user docs. Thanks to Jeff
Squyres for helping in this effort.
