<p class="admonition-title">Important</p>
<p>This release implements the complete PMIX v2.0 Standard
and therefore includes a number of new APIs and features. These
can be tracked by their RFC’s in the RFC repository at:
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pmix/RFCs">https://github.com/pmix/RFCs</a>. A formal standards document will
be included in a later v2.x release. Some of the changes are
identified below.</p>
</div>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Added the Modular Component Architecture (MCA) plugin manager and
converted a number of operations to plugins, thereby allowing easy
customization and extension (including proprietary offerings)</p></li>
<li><p>Added support for TCP sockets instead of Unix domain sockets for
client-server communications</p></li>
<li><p>Added support for on-the-fly Allocation requests, including requests
for additional resources, extension of time for currently allocated
resources, and return of identified allocated resources to the scheduler
(RFC 0005 - <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0005.md">https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0005.md</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>Tightened rules on the processing of PMIx_Get requests, including
reservation of the “pmix” prefix for attribute keys and specifying
behaviors associated with the PMIX_RANK_WILDCARD value
(RFC 0009 - <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0009.md">https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0009.md</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>Extended support for tool interactions with a PMIx server aimed at
meeting the needs of debuggers and other tools. Includes support
for rendezvousing with a system-level PMIx server for interacting
with the system management stack (SMS) outside of an allocated
session, and adds two new APIs:</p></li>
<li><p>PMIx_Query: request general information such as the process
table for a specified job, and available SMS capabilities</p></li>
<li><p>PMIx_Log: log messages (e.g., application progress) to a
system-hosted persistent store
(RFC 0010 - <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0010.md">https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0010.md</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>Added support for fabric/network interactions associated with
“instant on” application startup
(RFC 0012 - <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0012.md">https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0012.md</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>Added an attribute to support getting the time remaining in an
allocation via the PMIx_Query interface
(RFC 0013 - <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0013.md">https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0013.md</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>Added interfaces to support job control and monitoring requests,
including heartbeat and file monitors to detect stalled applications.
Job control interface supports standard signal-related operations
(pause, kill, resume, etc.) as well as checkpoint/restart requests.
The interface can also be used by an application to indicate it is
willing to be pre-empted, with the host RM providing an event
notification when the preemption is desired.
(RFC 0015 - <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0015.md">https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0015.md</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>Extended the event notification system to support notifications
across threads in the same process, and the ability to direct
ordering of notifications when registering event handlers.
(RFC 0018 - <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0018.md">https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0018.md</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>Expose the buffer manipulation functions via a new set of APIs
to support heterogeneous data transfers within the host RM
environment
(RFC 0020 - <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0020.md">https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0020.md</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>Fix a number of race condition issues that arose at scale</p></li>
<li><p>Enable PMIx servers to generate notifications to the host RM
and to themselves</p></li>
