Summary

This new version brings both bug fixes and feature updates to mercury. Notable are the addition of a new progress mechanism, new initialization parameters for the handling of multi-recv buffers and the support of cxi with HPE SHS 11.0.

New features

  • [HG]
    • Add HG_Get_input_payload_size()/HG_Get_output_payload_size()
      • Add the ability to query input / output payload sizes
    • Add HG_Diag_dump_counters() to dump diagnostic counters
      • Add rpc_req_recv_active_count and rpc_multi_recv_copy_count counters
    • Add HG_Class_get_counters() to retrieve internal counters
    • Add multi_recv_copy_threshold init parameter
      • Use this new parameter to fallback to memcpy to prevent starvation of multi-recv buffers
    • Add multi_recv_op_max init parameter
      • This allows users to control number of multi-recv buffers posted (libfabric plugin only)
    • Add no_overflow init option to prevent use of overflow buffers
    • Improve multi-recv buffer warning messages
    • Associate handle to HG proc
      • hg_proc_get_handle() can be used to retrieve handle within proc functions
    • Add HG_Event_get_wait_fd() to retrieve internal wait object
    • Add HG_Event_ready() / HG_Event_progress() / HG_Event_trigger() to support wait fd progress model
      • Simplify progress mechanism and remove use of internal timers
      • Always make NA progress when HG_Event_progress() is called
      • Update HG progress to use new NA progress routines
    • Add missing HG_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT to HG calls
    • Switch to using standard types and align with NA
      • Keep some uint8_t instances instead of hg_bool_t for ABI compatibility
    • Add HG_IO_ERROR return code
  • [NA]
    • Bump NA version to v5.0.0
    • Add NA_Poll() and NA_Poll_wait() routines
    • Deprecate NA_Progress() in favor of poll routines
    • Add NA_Context_get_completion_count() to retrieve size of completion queue
    • Update plugins to use new poll and poll_wait callbacks
      • poll_wait plugin callback remains for compatibility
    • Fix documentation of NA_Poll_get_fd()
    • Add missing NA_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT qualifiers
    • Remove deprecated CCI plugin
    • Return last known error when plugin loading fails
    • Add init info version compatibility wrappers
    • Add support for traffic_class init info (only supported by ofi plugin)
    • Add NA_IO_ERROR return code for generic I/O errors
      • Update OFI and UCX plugins to use new code
  • [NA OFI]
    • Support use of cxi provider with SHS 11.0
    • Add support for FI_AV_AUTH_KEY (requires libfabric >= 1.20)
      • Add runtime check for cxi provider version
      • Setting multiple auth keys disables FI_DIRECTED_RECV
      • Separate opening of AV and auth key insertion
      • Parse auth key range when FI_AV_AUTH_KEY is available
      • Encode/decode auth key when serializing addrs
    • Add support for FI_AV_USER_ID
    • Always use FI_SOURCE and FI_SOURCE_ERR when both are supported
      • Clean up handling of FI_SOURCE_ERR
      • Remove support of FI_SOURCE w/o FI_SOURCE_ERR
    • Add support for new CXI address format
    • Attempt to distribute multi-NIC domains based on selected CPU ID
    • Support selection of traffic classes (single class per NA class)
    • Add support for FI_PROTO_CXI_RNR
    • Add NA_OFI_SKIP_DOMAIN_OPS env variable to skip cxi domain ops
    • Remove unused NA_OFI_DOM_SHARED flag
  • [NA UCX]
    • Add ucx log outlet and redirect UCX log
      • Use default HG log level if UCX_LOG_LEVEL is not set
  • [HG/NA perf]
    • Add hg_first perf test to measure cost of initial RPC
    • Add -u option to control number of multi-recv ops (server only)
    • Add -i option to control number of handles posted (server only)
    • Add -f/--hostfile option to select hostfile to write to / read from
    • Add -T/--tclass option to select trafic class
    • Autodetect MPI implementation in perf utilities
      • MPI can now be autodetected and dynamically loaded in utilities, even if MERCURY_TESTING_ENABLE_PARALLEL was turned off. If MERCURY_TESTING_ENABLE_PARALLEL is turned on, tests remain manually linked against MPI as they used to be.
    • Print registration and deregistration times when -R option is used
    • Update to use new HG/NA progress routines and remove use of hg_request
    • Support forced registration in hg_bw_read/hg_bw_write
