Version 8.1.6
-------------
* Bug fixes
Version 8.1.5
-------------
* Bug fixes
Version 8.1.4
-------------
Milestone version: over 1000 patches since the last from Sun
* Bug fixes
* Enhancements
* qacct: print category information; support -A like -P ; make
-u a synonym for -o; -E selects on job end times read from
standard input with -f
* Move manager/operator setup in startup scripts
* Installation creates an environment modules file
* Add monitor_qmaster.sh script
* Write shepherd panic messages to syslog, not into /tmp
* Add .desktop file for qmon
* rpm/dpkg packaging allows building against motif (recent Debian/Fedora)
* Accounting reports qmaster-enforced resource limits (only on master PE
task if accounting_summary is false)
* Add "smp" to the default queue PE list
* install_execd doesn't check the presence of (mostly irrelevant) binaries
* Add configuration for logcheck
* Potentially incompatible changes
* renew_all_certs.ksh re-named to renew_all_certs.sh
* Expand $ja_task_id to 0 for non-array jobs
* Move manager/operator setup in startup scripts
* For security reasons, installation defaults for min_uid, min_gid in
sge_conf(5) are now 100 without CSP. See
<http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/howto/sge-security.html>
* RPM layout changed to put relevant ones under noarch (on RHEL6 and
recent Fedora), with a separate guiinst package
* Memory values can be input and output in TB or tB (possible
incompatibility parsing output)
* Reduce execd CPU time reading large smaps files from Linux /proc and
provide USE_SMAPS in execd_params to turn it on (default now off
because huge smaps are generated by some programs)
* Remove redundant -verify option from qsh, qlogin (per doc)
Version 8.1.3
-------------
* Bug fixes
* Enhancements
* Document Interix building explicitly
* qstat reports array task maximum concurrency
* qstatus removes [] suffix for non-array jobs if -t was requested
* Read /etc/default/{sgeexecd,sgemaster} to allow customizing rc scripts
* Location of daemon pid files can be specified with SGE_QMASTER_PIDFILE,
SGE_EXECD_PIDFILE
* Debian packaging (as an add-on, installing into /opt/sge)
* Expand $sge_root and $sge_cell in the definitions of prolog and
similar methods
* Check in init script that shepherd will load
* Add lx-armhf architecture
* On Linux and NetBSD, report jobs' virtual memory usage as accurately
as possible
* Add -nobincheck installation option to avoid checking binaries
* Add some build hooks, useful for Debian particularly.
* Potentially incompatible changes
* qacct prints units (might affect parsing the output)
* Correct spelling of "comunication_error" in qstat XML error output
* Fix problems submitting to ARs (printing times now doesn't use
a days field in qstat etc.)
* Java version >= 1.5 required
* Lower default MAX_DYN_EC somewhat to avoid warning on typical Linux
configurations
* Other changes
* Don't install the ckpt directory (contents obsolete)
Version 8.1.2
-------------
* Bug fixes
* Enhancements
* Use cpusets for process containment on fairly recent Linux-based systems
(see USE_CGROUPS in sge_conf(5))
* Add bootstrap build script
* Make SGE template an RPM conf file
* Incompatible changes
* Make CRL and certificate expiry consistent
Version 8.1.1
-------------
* Bug fixes
* Security
* Don't pass any user environment to remote startup daemons -- better
fix for half of CVE-2012-0208
* Enhancements
* SGE_BINDING is set in the environment for all types of binding
* New jobstats(1) provides historical job summary
* Berkeleydb spools can optionally be opened "private" to allow
operation on NFS3 filesystems. Currently no installer support, but
see bootstrap(5) and the health warning
* Environment variable SGE_DRMAA_ALLOW_JOB_ERROR_STATE allows DRMAA
jobs to enter the error state; see drmaa_submit(3)
* Define SGE_JOBEXIT_STAT environment variable in epilog; see submit(1)
* The user from which mail is sent can be configured in sge_conf(5)
* Topology items are now static load values; see load_parameters(5)
* qstat now prints array job dependency info
* Default to support for qsort_args in sge_pe(5)
* Include an example of logrotate usage
* Install an "smp" PE
* Distribute/document sge_share_mon(1) to print share tree
* Improve install template defaults
* GPU load sensor (dist/util/resources/loadsensors/gpu-loadsensor.c)
* Allow building Kerberos/GSSAPI security modules against Heimdal
(but GSS is still not properly usable)
* Support arm and mipsel on GNU/Linux, completing the set
of official Debian Linux-based ports
* Support for OpenBSD (untested)
* Preliminary support for Cygwin: everything builds, clients work
(lightly tested), daemons need fixing
* Add ja_task_id to expandable variables in ckpt_command and similar
methods
* distinst supports installation with install(1) for use with -local
* Incompatible changes
* The CA directory is now /var/lib/sgeCA instead of /var/sgeCA
but installation will offer to move it [fixme]
* Drop (any pretence at) support for Cray/Unicos, NEC SX, Darwin 6
* The spool format for parallel job tasks has changed from any previous
version built with qsort_args (as above), which will make live
upgrades from such a version fail on nodes running parallel jobs
* Other changes
* Extensive internal changes to improve robustness, e.g. of
string-handling against buffer overruns -- somewhat error-prone
and may have caused regressions; more required
* Install script allows rsh et al to be omitted from binary distribution
in favour of ssh
Version 8.1.0
-------------
* Security fix
* Prevent users other than root deleting entries with sgepasswd
* Version numbering
* Switch to a more logical numbering scheme now that the Univa
baseline is irrelevant
* Bug fixes
* Other changes
* Hadoop support now for a more recent Hadoop distribution (see
README.BUILD)
Version 8.0.0e
--------------
Mostly build and security issues
* Bug fixes
* Security fixes
The first fix is for a trivial remote root by a valid user. The
others, including fixes for potential buffer overruns in daemon and
setuid programs, may or may not be exploitable.
* Sanitize the environment before executing remote startup programs etc.
Somewhat incompatible: LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc. may need to be set
differently. See the security notes in remote_startup(5) and
sge_conf(5). (CVE-2012-0208, thanks to William Hay)
* Don't write initial log messages in /tmp. Somewhat
incompatible: initial messages now in syslog.
* Avoid using mktemp. (Probably not a significant problem.)
* Control core dumps under setuid etc. with SGE_ENABLE_COREDUMP.
(Not normally a security issue.)
* Bounds checking in replace_params
* Avoid execd crash and possible overruns
* Fixes for buffer overrun and other improvements for (setuid
program) sgepasswd

fallback implementations for Linux and OS X.
- No longer cleans up after receiving SIGILL, SIGSEGV or SIGFPE
- ``Finalize`` and ``register_after_fork`` is now aliases to multiprocessing.
It's better to import these from multiprocessing directly now
so that there aren't multiple registries.

========================
-- Fixed sh5util to print its usage.
-- Corrected commit f9a3c7e4e8ec.
-- Honor ntasks-per-node option with exclusive node allocations.
-- sched/backfill - Prevent invalid memory reference if bf_continue option is
configured and slurm is reconfigured during one of the sleep cycles or if
there are any changes to the partition configuration or if the normal
scheduler runs and starts a job that the backfill scheduler is actively
working on.
-- Update man pages information about acct-freq and JobAcctGatherFrequency
to reflect only the latest supported format.
-- Minor document update to include note about PrivateData=Usage for the
slurm.conf when using the DBD.
-- Expand information reported with DebugFlags=backfill.
-- Initiate jobs pending to run in a reservation as soon as the reservation
becomes active.
-- Purged expired reservation even if it has pending jobs.
-- Corrections to calculation of a pending job's expected start time.
-- Remove some vestigial logic treating job priority of 1 as a special case.
-- Memory freeing up to avoid minor memory leaks at close of daemons

-- task/cgroup - handle new cpuset files, similar to commit c4223940.
-- Replace the tempname() function call with mkstemp().
-- Fix for --cpu_bind=map_cpu/mask_cpu/map_ldom/mask_ldom plus
--mem_bind=map_mem/mask_mem options, broken in 2.6.2.
-- Restore default behavior of allocating cores to jobs on a cyclic basis
across the sockets unless SelectTypeParameters=CR_CORE_DEFAULT_DIST_BLOCK
or user specifies other distribution options.
-- Enforce JobRequeue configuration parameter on node failure. Previously
always requeued the job.
-- acct_gather_energy/ipmi - Add delay before retry on read error.
-- select/cons_res with GRES and multiple threads per core, fix possible
infinite loop.
-- proctrack/cgroup - Add cgroup create retry logic in case one step is
starting at the same time as another step is ending and the logic to create
and delete cgroups overlaps.
-- Improve setting of job wait "Reason" field.
-- Correct sbatch documentation and job_submit/pbs plugin "%j" is job ID,
not "%J" (which is job_id.step_id).
-- Improvements to sinfo performance, especially for large numbers of
partitions.
-- SlurmdDebug - Permit changes to slurmd debug level with "scontrol reconfig"
-- smap - Avoid invalid memory reference with hidden nodes.
-- Fix sacctmgr modify qos set preempt+/-=.

"sbatch --depend=afterok:123_4 ...") or all elements of a job array (e.g.
"sbatch --depend=afterok:123 ...").
-- Add support for new options in sbatch qsub wrapper:
-W block=true (wait for job completion)
Clear PBS_NODEFILE environment variable
-- Fixed the MaxSubmitJobsPerUser limit in QOS which limited submissions
a job too early.
-- sched/wiki, sched/wiki2 - Fix to work with change logic introduced in
version 2.6.3 preventing Maui/Moab from starting jobs.
-- Updated the QOS limits documentation and man page.
* Changes in Slurm 2.6.3
========================
-- Add support for some new #PBS options in sbatch scripts and qsub wrapper:
-l accelerator=true|false (GPU use)
-l mpiprocs=# (processors per node)
-l naccelerators=# (GPU count)
-l select=# (node count)
-l ncpus=# (task count)
-v key=value (environment variable)
-W depend=opts (job dependencies, including "on" and "before" options)
-W umask=# (set job's umask)
-- Added qalter and qrerun commands to torque package.
-- Corrections to qstat logic: job CPU count and partition time format.
-- Add job_submit/pbs plugin to translate PBS job dependency options to the
extend possible (no support for PBS "before" options) and set some PBS
environment variables.
-- Add spank/pbs plugin to set a bunch of PBS environment variables.
-- Backported sh5util from master to 2.6 as there are some important
bugfixes and the new item extraction feature.
-- select/cons_res - Correct MacCPUsPerNode partition constraint for CR_Socket.
-- scontrol - for setdebugflags command, avoid parsing "-flagname" as an
scontrol command line option.

-- Fix issue when a user has held a job and then sets the begin time
into the future.
-- Scontrol - Enable changing a job's stdout file.
-- Fix issues where memory or node count of a srun job is altered while the
srun is pending. The step creation would use the old values and possibly
hang srun since the step wouldn't be able to be created in the modified
allocation.
-- Add support for new SchedulerParameters value of "bf_max_job_part", the
maximum depth the backfill scheduler should go in any single partition.
-- acct_gather/infiniband plugin - Correct packets_in/out values.
-- BLUEGENE - Don't ignore a conn-type request from the user.
-- BGQ - Force a request on a Q for a MESH to be a TORUS in a dimension that
can only be a TORUS (1).
-- Change max message length from 100MB to 1GB before generating "Insane
message length" error.
-- sched/backfill - Prevent possible memory corruption due to use of
bf_continue option and long running scheduling cycle (pending jobs could
have been cancelled and purged).
-- CRAY - fix AcceleratorAllocation depth correctly for basil 1.3
-- Created the environment variable SLURM_JOB_NUM_NODES for srun jobs and
updated the srun man page.
-- BLUEGENE/CRAY - Don't set env variables that pertain to a node when Slurm
isn't doing the launching.
-- gres/gpu and gres/mic - Do not treat the existence of an empty gres.conf
file as a fatal error.
-- Fixed for if hours are specified as 0 the time days-0:min specification
is not parsed correctly.
-- switch/nrt - Fix for memory leak.
-- Subtract the PMII_COMMANDLEN_SIZE in contribs/pmi2/pmi2_api.c to prevent
certain implementation of snprintf() to segfault.
* Changes in Slurm 2.6.2
========================
-- Fix issue with reconfig and GrpCPURunMins
-- Fix of wrong node/job state problem after reconfig
-- Allow users who are coordinators update their own limits in the accounts
they are coordinators over.
-- BackupController - Make sure we have a connection to the DBD first thing
to avoid it thinking we don't have a cluster name.
-- Correct value of min_nodes returned by loading job information to consider
the job's task count and maximum CPUs per node.
-- If running jobacct_gather/none fix issue on unpacking step completion.
-- Reservation with CoreCnt: Avoid possible invalid memory reference.
-- sjstat - Add man page when generating rpms.
-- Make sure GrpCPURunMins is added when creating a user, account or QOS with
sacctmgr.
-- Fix for invalid memory reference due to multiple free calls caused by
job arrays submitted to multiple partitions.
-- Enforce --ntasks-per-socket=1 job option when allocating by socket.
-- Validate permissions of key directories at slurmctld startup. Report
anything that is world writable.
-- Improve GRES support for CPU topology. Previous logic would pick CPUs then
reject jobs that can not match GRES to the allocated CPUs. New logic first
filters out CPUs that can not use the GRES, next picks CPUs for the job,
and finally picks the GRES that best match those CPUs.
-- Switch/nrt - Prevent invalid memory reference when allocating single adapter
per node of specific adapter type
-- CRAY - Make Slurm work with CLE 5.1.1
-- Fix segfault if submitting to multiple partitions and holding the job.
-- Use MAXPATHLEN instead of the hardcoded value 1024 for maximum file path
lengths.
-- If OverTimeLimit is defined do not declare failed those jobs that ended
in the OverTimeLimit interval.
* Changes in Slurm 2.6.1
========================
-- slurmdbd - Allow job derived ec and comments to be modified by non-root
users.
-- Fix issue with job name being truncated to 24 chars when sending a mail
message.
-- Fix minor issues with spec file, missing files and including files
erroneously on a bluegene system.
-- sacct - fix --name and --partition options when using
accounting_storage/filetxt.
-- squeue - Remove extra whitespace of default printout.
-- BGQ - added head ppcfloor as an include dir when building.
-- BGQ - Better debug messages in runjob_mux plugin.
-- PMI2 Updated the Makefile.am to build a versioned library.
-- CRAY - Fix srun --mem_bind=local option with launch/aprun.
-- PMI2 Corrected buffer size computation in the pmi2_api.c module.
-- GRES accounting data wrong in database: gres_alloc, gres_req, and gres_used
fields were empty if the job was not started immediately.
-- Fix sbatch and srun task count logic when --ntasks-per-node specified,
but no explicit task count.
-- Corrected the hdf5 profile user guide and the acct_gather.conf
documentation.
-- IPMI - Fix Math bug getting new wattage.
-- Corrected the AcctGatherProfileType documentation in slurm.conf
-- Corrected the sh5util program to print the header in the csv file
only once, set the debug messages at debug() level, make the argument
check case insensitive and avoid printing duplicate \n.
-- If cannot collect energy values send message to the controller
to drain the node and log error slurmd log file.
-- Handle complete removal of CPURunMins time at the end of the job instead
of at multifactor poll.
-- sview - Add missing debug_flag options.
-- PGSQL - Notes about Postgres functionality being removed in the next
version of Slurm.
-- MYSQL - fix issue when rolling up usage and events happened when a cluster
was down (slurmctld not running) during that time period.
-- sched/wiki2 - Insure that Moab gets current CPU load information.
-- Prevent infinite loop in parsing configuration if including file containing
one blank line.
-- Fix pack and unpack between 2.6 and 2.5.
-- Fix job state recovery logic in which a job's accounting frequency was
not set. This would result in a value of 65534 seconds being used (the
equivalent of NO_VAL in uint16_t), which could result in the job being
requeued or aborted.
-- Validate a job's accounting frequency at submission time rather than
waiting for it's initiation to possibly fail.
-- Fix CPURunMins if a job is requeued from a failed launch.
-- Fix in accounting_storage/filetxt to correct start times which sometimes
could end up before the job started.
-- Fix issue with potentially referencing past an array in parse_time()
-- CRAY - fix issue with accelerators on a cray when parsing BASIL 1.3 XML.
-- Fix issue with a 2.5 slurmstepd locking up when talking to a 2.6 slurmd.
-- Add argument to priority plugin's priority_p_reconfig function to note
when the association and QOS used_cpu_run_secs field has been reset.
* Changes in Slurm 2.6.0
========================
-- Fix it so bluegene and serial systems don't get warnings over new NODEDATA
enum.
-- When a job is aborted send a message for any tasks that have completed.
-- Correction to memory per CPU calculation on system with threads and
allocating cores or sockets.
-- Requeue batch job if it's node reboots (used to abort the job).
-- Enlarge maximum size of srun's hostlist file.
-- IPMI - Fix first poll to get correct consumed_energy for a step.
-- Correction to job state recovery logic that could result in assert failure.
-- Record partial step accounting record if allocated nodes fail abnormally.
-- Accounting - fix issue where PrivateData=jobs or users could potentially
show information to users that had no associations on the system.
-- Make PrivateData in slurmdbd.conf case insensitive.
-- sacct/sstat - Add format option ConsumedEnergyRaw to print full energy
values.
* Changes in Slurm 2.6.0rc2
===========================
-- HDF5 - Fix issue with Ubuntu where HDF5 development headers are
overwritten by the parallel versions thus making it so we need handle
both cases.
-- ACCT_GATHER - handle suspending correctly for polling threads.
-- Make SLURM_DISTRIBUTION env var hold both types of distribution if
specified.
-- Remove hardcoded /usr/local from slurm.spec.
-- Modify slurmctld locking to improve performance under heavy load with
very large numbers of batch job submissions or job cancellations.
-- sstat - Fix issue where if -j wasn't given allow last argument to be checked
for as the job/step id.
-- IPMI - fix adjustment on poll when using EnergyIPMICalcAdjustment.
* Changes in Slurm 2.6.0rc1
===========================
-- Added helper script for launching symmetric and MIC-only MPI tasks within
SLURM (in contribs/mic/mpirun-mic).
-- Change maximum delay for state save from 2 secs to 5 secs. Make timeout
configurable at build time by defining SAVE_MAX_WAIT.
-- Modify slurmctld data structure locking to interleave read and write
locks rather than always favor write locks over read locks.
-- Added sacct format option of "ALL" to print all fields.
-- Deprecate the SchedulerParameters value of "interval" use "bf_interval"
instead as documented.
-- Add acct_gather_profile/hdf5 to profile jobs with hdf5
-- Added MaxCPUsPerNode partition configuration parameter. This can be
especially useful to schedule systems with GPUs.
-- Permit "scontrol reboot_node" for nodes in MAINT reservation.
-- Added "PriorityFlags" value of "SMALL_RELATIVE_TO_TIME". If set, the job's
size component will be based upon not the job size alone, but the job's
size divided by it's time limit.
-- Added sbatch option "--ignore-pbs" to ignore "#PBS" options in the batch
script.
-- Rename slurm_step_ctx_params_t field from "mem_per_cpu" to "pn_min_memory".
Job step now accepts memory specification in either per-cpu or per-node
basis.
-- Add ability to specify host repitition count in the srun hostfile (e.g.
"host1*2" is equivalent to "host1,host1").
* Changes in Slurm 2.6.0pre3
============================
-- Add milliseconds to default log message header (both RFC 5424 and ISO 8601
time formats). Disable milliseconds logging using the configure
parameter "--disable-log-time-msec". Default time format changes to
ISO 8601 (without time zone information). Specify "--enable-rfc5424time"
to restore the time zone information.
-- Add username (%u) to the filename pattern in the batch script.
-- Added options for front end nodes of AllowGroups, AllowUsers, DenyGroups,
and DenyUsers.
-- Fix sched/backfill logic to initiate jobs with maximum time limit over the
partition limit, but the minimum time limit permits it to start.
-- gres/gpu - Fix for gres.conf file with multiple files on a single line
using a slurm expression (e.g. "File=/dev/nvidia[0-1]").
-- Replaced ipmi.conf with generic acct_gather.conf file for all acct_gather
plugins. For those doing development to use this follow the model set
forth in the acct_gather_energy_ipmi plugin.
-- Added more options to update a step's information
-- Add DebugFlags=ThreadID which will print the thread id of the calling
thread.
-- CRAY - Allocate whole node (CPUs) in reservation despite what the
user requests. We have found any srun/aprun afterwards will work on a
subset of resources.
* Changes in Slurm 2.6.0pre2
============================
-- Do not purge inactive interactive jobs that lack a port to ping (added
for MR+ operation).
-- Advanced reservations with hostname and core counts now supports asymetric
reservations (e.g. specific different core count for each node).
-- Added slurmctld/dynalloc plugin for MapReduce+ support.
-- Added "DynAllocPort" configuration parameter.
-- Added partition paramter of SelectTypeParameters to override system-wide
value.
-- Added cr_type to partition_info data structure.
-- Added allocated memory to node information available (within the existing
select_nodeinfo field of the node_info_t data structure). Added Allocated
Memory to node information displayed by sview and scontrol commands.
-- Make sched/backfill the default scheduling plugin rather than sched/builtin
(FIFO).
-- Added support for a job having different priorities in different partitions.
-- Added new SchedulerParameters configuration parameter of "bf_continue"
which permits the backfill scheduler to continue considering jobs for
backfill scheduling after yielding locks even if new jobs have been
submitted. This can result in lower priority jobs from being backfill
scheduled instead of newly arrived higher priority jobs, but will permit
more queued jobs to be considered for backfill scheduling.
-- Added support to purge reservation records from accounting.
-- Cray - Add support for Basil 1.3
* Changes in SLURM 2.6.0pre1
============================
-- Add "state" field to job step information reported by scontrol.
-- Notify srun to retry step creation upon completion of other job steps
rather than polling. This results in much faster throughput for job step
execution with --exclusive option.
-- Added "ResvEpilog" and "ResvProlog" configuration parameters to execute a
program at the beginning and end of each reservation.
-- Added "slurm_load_job_user" function. This is a variation of
"slurm_load_jobs", but accepts a user ID argument, potentially resulting
in substantial performance improvement for "squeue --user=ID"
-- Added "slurm_load_node_single" function. This is a variation of

-- Added "HealthCheckNodeState" configuration parameter identify node states
on which HealthCheckProgram should be executed.
-- Remove sacct --dump --formatted-dump options which were deprecated in
2.5.
-- Added support for job arrays (phase 1 of effort). See "man sbatch" option
-a/--array for details.
-- Add new AccountStorageEnforce options of 'nojobs' and 'nosteps' which will
allow the use of accounting features like associations, qos and limits but
not keep track of jobs or steps in accounting.
-- Cray - Add new cray.conf parameter of "AlpsEngine" to specify the
communication protocol to be used for ALPS/BASIL.
-- select/cons_res plugin: Correction to CPU allocation count logic in for
cores without hyperthreading.

_slurm_sysconfdir %{_prefix}/etc/slurm
_mandir %{_prefix}/share/man
_infodir %{_prefix}/share/info
-- Add acct_gather_energy/ipmi which works off freeipmi for energy gathering
* Changes in Slurm 2.5.8
========================
-- Fix for slurmctld segfault on NULL front-end reason field.
-- Avoid gres step allocation errors when a job shrinks in size due to either
down nodes or explicit resizing. Generated slurmctld errors of this type:
"step_test ... gres_bit_alloc is NULL"
-- Fix bug that would leak memory and over-write the AllowGroups field if on
"scontrol reconfig" when AllowNodes is manually changed using scontrol.

to the job record, which under some conditions could be purged and result
in an invalid memory reference.
* Changes in Slurm 2.5.7
========================
-- Fix for linking to the select/cray plugin to not give warning about
undefined variable.
-- Add missing symbols to the xlator.h
-- Avoid placing pending jobs in AdminHold state due to backfill scheduler
interactions with advanced reservation.
-- Accounting - make average by task not cpu.
-- CRAY - Change logging of transient ALPS errors from error() to debug().
-- POE - Correct logic to support poe option "-euidevice sn_all" and
"-euidevice sn_single".

the node tab and we didn't notice.
-- Accounting - Fix an invalid memory read when slurmctld sends data about
start job to slurmdbd.

down and killing all of its jobs.
-- Priority/multifactor - Avoid underflow in half-life calculation.
-- POE - pack missing variable to allow fanout (more than 32 nodes)
-- Prevent clearing reason field for pending jobs. This bug was introduced in
v2.5.5 (see "Reject job at submit time ...").

-- priority/multifactor2 - Prevent possible divide by zero.
-- srun - Don't check for executable if --test-only flag is used.
-- energy - On a single node only use the last task for gathering energy.
Since we don't currently track energy usage per task (only per step).
Otherwise we get double the energy.

outside of the reservation in it's nodes without this you could have
double time.
-- Accounting - Minor fix to avoid reuse of variable erroneously.
-- Reject job at submit time if the node count is invalid. Previously such a
job submitted to a DOWN partition would be queued.

per node in the BASIL reservation request.
-- CRAY - fix issue with --mem option not giving correct amount of memory
per cpu.
-- CRAY - Fix if srun --mem is given outside an allocation to set the
APRUN_DEFAULT_MEMORY env var for aprun. This scenario will not display

deny the job instead of holding it.
-- Make sure on systems that use a different launcher than launch/slurm not
to attempt to signal tasks on the frontend node.
-- Cray - when a step is requested count other steps running on nodes in the
allocation as taking up the entire node instead of just part of the node
allocated. And always enforce exclusive on a step request.
-- Cray - display correct nodelist, node/cpu count on steps.
* Changes in Slurm 2.5.4
========================
-- Fix bug in PrologSlurmctld use that would block job steps until node
responds.
-- CRAY - If a partition has MinNodes=0 and a batch job doesn't request nodes
put the allocation to 1 instead of 0 which prevents the allocation to
happen.

figure out jobacct_gather wasn't used.
-- Cray - Prevent calling basil_confirm more than once per job using a flag.
-- Fix bug with topology/tree and job with min-max node count. Now try to

nodes. Current limiations: homogeneous cluster, nodes idle when reservation
created, and no more than one reservation per node. Code is still under
development. Work by Alejandro Lucero Palau, et. al, BSC.
-- Add DebugFlag of Switch to log switch plugin details.
-- Correct job node_cnt value in job completion plugin when job fails due to
down node. Previously was too low by one.

SIGKILL. Previously just sent SIGKILL to tasks.
-- BGQ - Fix issue when running srun outside of an allocation and only
specifying the number of tasks and not the number of nodes.
-- BGQ - validate correct ntasks_per_node
-- BGQ - when srun -Q is given make runjob be quiet
-- Modify use of OOM (out of memory protection) for Linux 2.6.36 kernel
or later. NOTE: If you were setting the environment variable

was already in error and isn't deallocating and underlying hardware goes
bad one could get overlapping blocks in error making the code assert when
a new job request comes in.
-- BGQ - handle pending actions on a block better when trying to deallocate it.
-- Accounting - Fixed issue where if nodenames have changed on a system and
you query against that with -N and -E you will get all jobs during that
time instead of only the ones running on -N.
-- BGP - Fix for HTC mode
-- Accounting - If a job start message fails to the SlurmDBD reset the db_inx
so it gets sent again. This isn't a major problem since the start will
happen when the job ends, but this does make things cleaner.
-- If an salloc is waiting for an allocation to happen and is canceled by the
user mark the state canceled instead of completed.
-- Fix issue in accounting if a user puts a '\' in their job name.
-- Accounting - Fix for if asking for users or accounts that were deleted
with associations get the deleted associations as well.

database, and the job is running on a small block make sure we free up
the correct node count.
-- BGQ - Logic added to make sure a job has finished on a block before it is
purged from the system if its front-end node goes down.
-- Modify strigger so that a filter option of "--user=0" is supported.
-- Correct --mem-per-cpu logic for core or socket allocations with multiple
threads per core.
-- Fix for older < glibc 2.4 systems to use euidaccess() instead of eaccess().
-- BLUEGENE - Do not alter a pending job's node count when changing it's
partition.
-- BGQ - Add functionality to make it so we track the actions on a block.
This is needed for when a free request is added to a block but there are
jobs finishing up so we don't start new jobs on the block since they will
fail on start.
-- BGQ - Fixed InactiveLimit to work correctly to avoid scenarios where a
user's pending allocation was started with srun and then for some reason
the slurmctld was brought down and while it was down the srun was removed.
-- Fixed InactiveLimit math to work correctly
-- BGQ - Add logic to make it so blocks can't use a midplane with a nodeboard

-- cgroups - fix if initial directory is non-existent SLURM creates it
correctly. Before the errno wasn't being checked correctly
-- BGQ - fixed srun when only requesting a task count and not a node count
to operate the same way salloc or sbatch did and assign a task per cpu
by default instead of task per node.
-- Fix salloc --gid to work correctly. Reported by Brian Gilmer
-- BGQ - fix smap to set the correct default MloaderImage
-- BLUEGENE - updated documentation.
-- Close the batch job's environment file when it contains no data to avoid
leaking file descriptors.
-- Fix sbcast's credential to last till the end of a job instead of the
previous 20 minute time limit. The previous behavior would fail for
large files 20 minutes into the transfer.
-- Return ESLURM_NODES_BUSY rather than ESLURM_NODE_NOT_AVAIL error on job
submit when required nodes are up, but completing a job or in exclusive
job allocation.
-- Add HWLOC_FLAGS so linking to libslurm works correctly
-- BGQ - If using backfill and a shared block is running at least one job
and a job comes through backfill and can fit on the block without ending
jobs don't set an end_time for the running jobs since they don't need to
end to start the job.
-- Initialize bind_verbose when using task/cgroup.
-- BGQ - Fix for handling backfill much better when sharing blocks.
-- BGQ - Fix for making small blocks on first pass if not sharing blocks.
-- BLUEGENE - Remove force of default conn_type instead of leaving NAV
when none are requested. The Block allocator sets it up temporarily so
this isn't needed.
-- BLUEGENE - Fix deadlock issue when dealing with bad hardware if using
static blocks.
-- Fix to mysql plugin during rollup to only query suspended table when jobs
reported some suspended time.
-- Fix compile with glibc 2.16 (Kacper Kowalik)
-- BGQ - fix for deadlock where a block has error on it and all jobs
running on it are preemptable by scheduling job.
-- proctrack/cgroup: Exclude internal threads from "scontrol list pids".
Patch from Matthieu Hautreux, CEA.
-- Memory leak fixed for select/linear when preempting jobs.
-- Fix if updating begin time of a job to update the eligible time in
accounting as well.
-- BGQ - make it so you can signal steps when signaling the job allocation.
-- BGQ - Remove extra overhead if a large block has many cnode failures.
-- Priority/Multifactor - Fix issue with age factor when a job is estimated to
start in the future but is able to run now.
-- CRAY - update to work with ALPS 5.1
-- BGQ - Handle issue of speed and mutexes when polling instead of using the
realtime server.
-- BGQ - Fix minor sorting issue with sview when sorting by midplanes.
-- Accounting - Fix for handling per user max node/cpus limits on a QOS
correctly for current job.
-- Update documentation for -/+= when updating a reservation's
users/accounts/flags
-- Update pam module to work if using aliases on nodes instead of actual
host names.
-- Correction to task layout logic in select/cons_res for job with minimum
and maximum node count.
-- BGQ - Put final poll after realtime comes back into service to avoid
having the realtime server go down over and over again while waiting
for the poll to finish.
-- task/cgroup/memory - ensure that ConstrainSwapSpace=no is correctly
handled. Work by Matthieu Hautreux, CEA.
-- CRAY - Fix for sacct -N option to work correctly
-- CRAY - Update documentation to describe installation from rpm instead
or previous piecemeal method.
-- Fix sacct to work with QOS' that have previously been deleted.
-- Added all available limits to the output of sacctmgr list qos
* Changes in SLURM 2.4.2
========================
-- BLUEGENE - Correct potential deadlock issue when hardware goes bad and
there are jobs running on that hardware.
-- If job is submitted to more than one partition, it's partition pointer can
be set to an invalid value. This can result in the count of CPUs allocated
on a node being bad, resulting in over- or under-allocation of its CPUs.
Patch by Carles Fenoy, BSC.
-- Fix bug in task layout with select/cons_res plugin and --ntasks-per-node
option. Patch by Martin Perry, Bull.
-- BLUEGENE - remove race condition where if a block is removed while waiting
for a job to finish on it the number of unused cpus wasn't updated
correctly.
-- BGQ - make sure we have a valid block when creating or finishing a step
allocation.
-- BLUEGENE - If a large block (> 1 midplane) is in error and underlying
hardware is marked bad remove the larger block and create a block over
just the bad hardware making the other hardware available to run on.
-- BLUEGENE - Handle job completion correctly if an admin removes a block
where other blocks on an overlapping midplane are running jobs.
-- BLUEGENE - correctly remove running jobs when freeing a block.
-- BGQ - correct logic to place multiple (< 1 midplane) steps inside a
multi midplane block allocation.
-- BGQ - Make it possible for a multi midplane allocation to run on more
than 1 midplane but not the entire allocation.
-- BGL - Fix for syncing users on block from Tim Wickberg
-- Fix initialization of protocol_version for some messages to make sure it
is always set when sending or receiving a message.
-- Reset backfilled job counter only when explicitly cleared using scontrol.
Patch from Alejandro Lucero Palau, BSC.
-- BLUEGENE - Fix for handling blocks when a larger block will not free and
while it is attempting to free underlying hardware is marked in error
making small blocks overlapping with the freeing block. This only
applies to dynamic layout mode.
-- Cray and BlueGene - Do not treat lack of usable front-end nodes when
slurmctld deamon starts as a fatal error. Also preserve correct front-end
node for jobs when there is more than one front-end node and the slurmctld
daemon restarts.
-- Correct parsing of srun/sbatch input/output/error file names so that only
the name "none" is mapped to /dev/null and not any file name starting
with "none" (e.g. "none.o").
-- BGQ - added version string to the load of the runjob_mux plugin to verify
the current plugin has been loaded when using runjob_mux_refresh_config
-- CGROUPS - Use system mount/umount function calls instead of doing fork
exec of mount/umount from Janne Blomqvist.
-- BLUEGENE - correct start time setup when no jobs are blocking the way
from Mark Nelson
-- Fixed sacct --state=S query to return information about suspended jobs
current or in the past.
-- FRONTEND - Made error warning more apparent if a frontend node isn't
configured correctly.
-- BGQ - update documentation about runjob_mux_refresh_config which works
correctly as of IBM driver V1R1M1 efix 008.

paexec: Fix for segfault seen on Linux
|
|
This release of paexec was successfully tested on the following
platforms: NetBSD-6.1/amd64, OpenBSD-5.3/i386, FreeBSD-8.3/i386,
Solaris-10/sparc, Solaris-11/amd64 and diverse Linux/{i386,amd64}.
paexec is now selfcontained, libmaa is not needed anymore.
Presentation paexec.pdf was added to presentation/. I hope it will
help easier understand how "paexec" works. It is installed to
${DOCDIR}.
paexec:
- POSIX-2008 getline(3) is used for reading lines
instead of home-made function.
- t '' is equivalent to "no transport", spaces are trimmed.
- "-n +NNN" has higher priority than -t, i.e. if they both are
specified, transport is ignored.
- Fix for -W1.
- Environment variable PAEXEC_EOT was introduced.
- Option -y was added to paexec(1) and paexec_reorder(1).
- Option -C was added to paexec(1).
paexec_reorder:
- Option -x was added to paexec_reorder(1).
A number of fixes and improvements in regression tests.

billiard is a fork of the Python 2.7 multiprocessing package. The
multiprocessing package itself is a renamed and updated version of R Oudkerk's
pyprocessing package. This standalone variant is intended to be compatible with
Python 2.4 and 2.5, and will draw it's fixes/improvements from python-trunk.
* Also it is a fork of the multiprocessin backport package by Christian Heims;
* It includes the no-execv patch contributed by R. Oudkerk;
* And the Pool improvements previously located in Celery;

NetBSD 6, requested by tron.
|
|
Recursively bump package revisions again after the "freetype2" and
"fontconfig" handling was fixed.
|
|
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882

a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.

-------------
* New operating system backends
+ Add BlueGene/Q compute node kernel (CNK) support. See the FAQ in the
documentation for details. Thanks to Jeff Hammond, Christopher Samuel
and Erik Schnetter for their help.
+ Add NetBSD support, thanks to Aleksej Saushev.
* New I/O device discovery
+ Add co-processor OS devices such as "mic0" for Intel Xeon Phi (MIC)
on Linux. Thanks to Jerome Vienne for helping.
+ Add co-processor OS devices such as "cuda0" for NVIDIA CUDA-capable GPUs.
+ Add co-processor OS devices such as "opencl0d0" for OpenCL GPU devices
on the AMD OpenCL implementation.
+ Add GPU OS devices such as ":0.0" for NVIDIA X11 displays.
+ Add GPU OS devices such as "nvml0" for NVIDIA GPUs.
Thanks to Marwan Abdellah and Stefan Eilemann for helping.
These new OS devices have some string info attributes such as CoProcType,
GPUModel, etc. to better identify them.
See the I/O Devices and Attributes documentation sections for details.
* New components
+ Add the "opencl", "cuda", "nvml" and "gl" components for I/O device
discovery.
+ "nvml" also improves the discovery of NVIDIA GPU PCIe link speed.
All of these new components may be built as plugins. They may also be
disabled entirely by passing --disable-opencl/cuda/nvml/gl to configure.
See the I/O Devices, Components and Plugins, and FAQ documentation
sections for details.
* API
+ Add hwloc_topology_get_flags().
+ Add hwloc/plugins.h for building external plugins.
See the Adding new discovery components and plugins section.
* Interoperability
+ Add hwloc/opencl.h, hwloc/nvml.h, hwloc/gl.h and hwloc/intel-mic.h
to retrieve the locality of OS devices that correspond to AMD OpenCL
GPU devices or indexes, to NVML devices or indexes, to NVIDIA X11
displays, or to Intel Xeon Phi (MIC) device indexes.
+ Add new helpers in hwloc/cuda.h and hwloc/cudart.h to convert
between CUDA devices or indexes and hwloc OS devices.
+ Add hwloc_ibv_get_device_osdev() and clarify the requirements
of the OpenFabrics Verbs helpers in hwloc/openfabrics-verbs.h.
* Tools
+ hwloc-info is not only a synonym of lstopo -s anymore, it also
dumps information about objects given on the command-line.
* Documentation
+ Add a section "Existing components and plugins".
+ Add a list of common OS devices in section "Software devices".
+ Add a new FAQ entry "Why is lstopo slow?" about lstopo slowness
issues because of GPUs.
+ Clarify the documentation of inline helpers in hwloc/myriexpress.h
and hwloc/openfabrics-verbs.h.
* Misc
+ Improve cache detection on AIX.
+ The HWLOC_COMPONENTS variable now excludes the components whose
names are prefixed with '-'.
+ lstopo --ignore PU now works when displaying the topology in
graphical and textual mode (not when exporting to XML).
+ The `libpci' component is now called `pci' but the old name is still
accepted in the HWLOC_COMPONENTS variable for backward compatibility.
