New version of MPI_utils

This release of the glite-MPI_utils fixes a long known dependency issue with an incompatible torque library provided by the torque RPM.

There have been several updates to glite-yaim-mpi:

  • The YAIM configuration will now look in the YAIM "services" configuration directory for configuration details.
  • There have been minor changes to the YAIM MPI configuration scripts which fix some observed problems relating to variable assignment.

The default MPI installation is now OPENMPI, which is provided by the Scientific Linux distribution.

Support for MPICH1 and MPICH2 has been discontinued on SL4. MPICH2 is available for SL5.

The MPI-START scripts have been improved to detect if the user is compiling code under 64 bit or 32 bit versions of mpicc.

The supplied OPENMPI packages are compiled with support for Infiniband. If your site does not support infiniband, openmpi will output warnings. To fix this problem at your site, please see: http://xmipp.cnb.csic.es/twiki/bin/view/Xmipp/RemoveOpenMPIWarnings The affected files are:
SL4: /usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.8-gcc/etc/openmpi-mca-params.conf SL5 /usr/lib64/openmpi/1.2.7-gcc/etc/openmpi-mca-params.conf

The vendor provided version of OpenMPI is not compiled with Torque support. This affects sites not using shared homes and who are not using ssh to distribute job related files between worker nodes.

In order to allow the site to compile and install their own custom MPI rpms, this metapackage removes the explicit requirement of any devel and lib packages. Further details on compiling OpenMPI with torque support can be found under: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EGEE/MpiTools

There is a bug #62612 ( https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?62612 ) which hopefully will be fixed later.

This update fixes various bugs. For the full list of bugs, please see list below.
