HPE Cray Programming Environment 22.02 Release Notes
====================================================
Abnormal Termination Processing (ATP) 3.14.9:
================================================
Release Date:
--------------
January 2022
Product Description:
--------------------
Abnormal Termination Processing (ATP) is a system that
monitors user applications, and should an application
take a system trap, ATP preforms analysis on the dying
application. All of the stack backtraces of the
application processes are gathered into a merged
stack backtrace tree and written to disk as the file
"atpMergedBT.dot". The stack backtrace for the first process
to die is sent to stderr as is the number of the signal that
caused the death. If the core file size limit (RLIMIT_CORE)
is non-zero, a heuristically selected set of processes dump
their core.
atpMergedBT.dot can be viewed with 'statview', a component
of the STAT package (module load stat). The merged stack
backtrace tree provides a concise, yet comprehensive, view
of what the application was doing at the time of its death.
Purpose:
---------
22.02 Release adds the following features:
- Regarding gen compilers cray-gcc-10.3.0

CCDB 4.12.8:
==================
Release Date:
--------------
January 2022
Product Description:
--------------------
CCDB, Cray's next generation debugging tool extends the comparative
debugging capabilities of gdb4hpc with a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
enabling programmers to compare corresponding data structures
between two executing applications. Comparative debugging assists users with
locating sections of code containing data deviations introduced by algorithm
changes, compiler differences, and porting to new architectures/libraries.
Some features of ccdb include:
* Side-by-side debugging session execution of two parallel applications
* Automatic creation of comparison statements for all local variables in
scope
* Type templates for structured data types to selectively compare members
* Warning/error epsilon tolerance values for floating point comparison
* PBS PRO, MOAB/TORQUE, and SLURM workload manager support

Cray Common Tools Interface (CTI) 2.15.9:
======================================
Release Date:
--------------
January 2022
Product Description:
--------------------
Cray Common Tools Interface (CTI) is a library that abstracts debugger
tool support to a common interface regardless of the underlying work
load manager. It facilitates the staging of files and the launch of
tool daemons on the compute nodes associated with a parallel job.
Options and interfaces can be found in the cti(1) and cti(3) manpages.
Purpose:
---------
22.02 This release is a bugfix release:
- Default Shasta PALS node count in job launches to 1
- Include `--overlap` in Slurm tool daemon launches for Slurm versions
20.11 and above
21.12 This release adds the following features:
- Added user documentation manpage cti(1), and developer
documentation manpage cti(3).
- Preliminary support for the Flux workload manager.
Note that passwordless SSH access to compute nodes must be
configured for Flux support. This limitation will be
removed in a future release.
- Flux, Shasta PALS, and ALPS support can be disabled at
compile-time if development headers are not available.
- Updated gen compilers to cray-gcc-10.3.0
21.11 This bugfix release resolves the following issues:
- Fix potential deadlock during job launch / attach for HPCM PALS systems,
as well as the generic SSH interface
- Fix Slurm job attach when running on compute node where hostname does
not match the Slurm node name
- Add environment variable CTI_SLURM_DAEMON_GRES to set the --gres
for Slurm daemon launches. For Slurm versions 21.08 and newer, this
should be set to an empty string (see SchedMD bug)
https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12642

gdb4hpc 4.13.9:
======================================
Release Date:
--------------
January 2022
Product Description:
--------------------
gdb4hpc is a GDB-based parallel debugger used to debug applications compiled with
CCE, AOCC, GNU, and Intel Fortran, C and C++ compilers. It allows programmers to
either launch an application or attach to an already running application that
was launched on the system. Additionally, it provides comparative debugging
technology that enables programmers to compare data structures between two
executing applications. Comparative debugging should be used in conjunction
with the CCDB GUI tool accessed by loading the cray-ccdb module.
Some features of gdb include:
* Command line parallel debugger allows for launching/attaching applications.
* Utilizes process sets to operate on a subset of application ranks.
* GDB-like feel, also implements a gdbmode to enable a true parallel gdb.

Cray MPICH 8.1.13:
=======================================
Release Date:
-------------
January 19, 2022
Purpose:
--------
Cray MPICH 8.1.13 is based upon ANL MPICH 3.4a2 with support for libfabric
and is optimized for the Cray Programming Environment.
Major Differences Cray MPICH 8.1.13 from the XC Cray MPICH include:
- Uses the new ANL MPICH CH4 code path and libfabric for network
support.
- Does not support -default64 mode for Fortran
- Does not support C++ language bindings
New Cray MPICH features for HPE Cray EX and Apollo systems:
- Cray MPICH uses the libfabric "verbs;ofi_rxm" provider by default.
This is the supported and optimized OFI libfabric provider for
Slingshot-10 and Apollo systems.
- Cray MPICH offers support for multiple NICs per node. Starting with
version 8.0.8, by default Cray MPICH will use all available NICs on
a node. Several rank-to-NIC assignment policies are supported. For
details on choosing a policy for assigning ranks to NICS, or for
selecting a subset of available NICs, please see the following
environment variables documented in the mpi man page.
MPICH_OFI_NIC_VERBOSE
MPICH_OFI_NIC_POLICY
MPICH_OFI_NIC_MAPPING
MPICH_OFI_NUM_NICS
- Enhancements to the MPICH_OFI_NIC_POLICY NUMA mode have been added.
Starting with version 8.0.14, if the user selects the NUMA policy,
the NIC closest to the rank is selected. A NIC no longer needs to
reside in the same numa node as the rank. If multiple NICs are
assigned to the same numa node, the local ranks will round-robin
between them. Numa distances are analyzed to select the closest NIC.
- Cray MPICH supports creating a full connection grid during MPI_Init.
By default, OFI connections between ranks are set up on demand. This
allows for optimal performance while minimizing memory requirements.
However, for jobs requiring an all-to-all communication pattern, it
may be beneficial to create all OFI connections in a coordinated
manner at startup. See the MPICH_OFI_STARTUP_CONNECT description in
the mpi man page.
- Cray MPICH supports runtime switching to the UCX netmod starting
with version 8.0.14. To do this load the craype-network-ucx module
and module swap between Cray-MPICH and Cray-MPICH-UCX modules. For
more information including relevant environment variables reference
the intro_mpi man page with the Cray-MPICH-UCX module loaded.
- Lmod support for HPE Cray EX starting with Cray MPICH 8.0.16.
