Several important changes and enhancements were added:
dmtcp_launch/restart/command/coordinator
now take the flags
-h, -p, --coord-host/port
and environment variables
DMTCP_COORD_HOST/PORT
. The older --host, --port, DMTCP_HOST/PORT
are now deprecated.
- Newer versions of MATLAB (matlab-2013 and later) were using additional
Linux features. All recent versions of matlab are again supported.
- Intensive testing done for integration of MPI/SLURM
for the following MPI dialects: Intel MPI/MVAPICH-2/MPICH-2/Open MPI.
See plugin/batch-queue/job_examples/
for SLURM/DMTCP submission scripts.
Preliminary support for some other resource managers also provided,
especially including ibrun.
- Open MPI version 1.8 with InfiniBand is not yet supported.
This is due to the OMPI use of UD (unreliable datagrams) for InfiniBand.
Support is planned for the near future. Earlier OMPI versions continue
to work with IB. We do not currently know of a config in OMPI-1.8 to
avoid IB/UD (to use only IB/CM). Such a workaround would let DMTCP work.
- Added support for newest Linux kernels: split of [vdso]
into [vdso] and [vvar]; To see if this affects you, do:
cat /proc/self/maps | grep '\[vvar]'
- Support for glibc version 2.21 added. To see if this affects you, do:
ls -l /lib*/libc.so.6 /lib/*/libc.so.6
- The environment variable
DMTCP_GDB_ATTACH_ON_RESTART
was added. Setting
this permanently is a security risk. But on a temporary basis,
it can enable easier debugging of restarted processes:
DMTCP_GDB_ATTACH_ON_RESTART=1 dmtcp_restart ckpt_a.out_*.dmtcp &
gdb a.out `pgrep -n a.out`
- Enhancements added for newer 32-bit ARM (armv7) CPUs
- Experimental support is now provided for 64-bit ARM (armv8)
- Bug fixes
