    MPC_4.0.0 (Beta) (digest)

    Starting from this version MPC comes in two flavors:

    • light: dependencies are not included and downloaded if needed (when using the ./installmpc script);
    • full: a version including all dependencies (for the default configuration) such version is recommended for offline systems.

    This is a BETA release. This release breaks retro-compatibility.

    • MPC is now modular and comes in several components:
      • lowcomm : component handling and providing the networks interfaces
      • threads : component handling and providing the user-level thread scheduler
      • mpi : component handling and providing the MPI standard API
      • mpiio : component handling and providing the IO part of the MPI standard API
      • openmp : component handling and providing the OpenMP standard API
      • fortran : component handling and providing the Fortran interface for the above parallel programming APIs
      • … and other internal components
    • New features:
      • PMIX: PMIX is now supported through --with-pmix
      • PRIV: Support for new GCCs (using now external autopriv) up to 10.2.0 (using --gcc-version=X.X.X)
      • STATUS: the mpc_status command can be used to print current MPC configuration
      • BUILD: once installed with ./installmpc MPC can be reconfigured with ./reconfigure in the build directory. MPC is now longer in an mpcframework subdirectory
    • Changed features:
      • BUILD: Installation process compatible with Spack to manage package dependencies
      • BUILD: MPC now relies on autotools as its build system
      • BUILD: It is possible to directly call ./configure to use MPC in a modular way
      • DEPS: dependencies can be downloaded on demand, a light version is a version not providing the dependencies. ./installmpc --download-missing-deps can be used to retrieve the dependencies for a given configuration. Conversely a full version includes all dependencies for the default configuration
      • COMM: communicator management was fully rewritten. The MPI_Comm is now a pointer (instead of an integer)
      • MPCRUN: mpcrun has been fully rewritten
      • MPIIO: MPI-IO support (ROMIO) is now integrated in MPC
      • FORTRAN: the Fortran interface is now external and optional (MPC_Fortran)
    • Deprecated features:
      • mpcrun: several options from mpcrun were deprecated they should now be no-op
      • installmpc: several options from ./installmpc were deprecated they should now be no-op
    • Removed features:
      • mpc_compiler_manager: the mpc_compiler_manager command is no longer provided. MPC is now compiled against a single compiler
      • mpc_icc and compiler-specific wrappers: MPC now provides only mpc_{cc,cxx,f77} and mpi{cc,cxx,f77} wrappers
      • PRIV: all privatization has been externalized in autopriv, including, compilers, plugins, TLS library and privatized getopt
    • Fixed features:
      • COMM: Default communicator attributes were fixed (APP_NUM, MPI_IO, MPI_HOST)
      • COLL: fixed several collectives
      • COMM: Major fixes in communicator management (free, creation and reuse)
      • MISC: less contention on large SMP (various optimizations)
      • MISC: various fixes in the lowcomm and MPI layers
