Hi Maurice,
Thanks for the patches! We like to have one patch per package, so I
started with MPICH:

I ended up modifying the package:
• To use 3.3 instead of 3.4a, the latter being listed as “alpha”;
• To build from an official tarball rather than from a Git checkout,
so that the GNU build system is already bootstrapped;
• To ensure that the bundled copies of hwloc and ucx are not used.
I pushed the result here:
Let me know if I broke something.
As for the “-mpich” packages: they look good to me, though I’m not
entirely sure whether we should create “-mpich” variants for each of
them. Ideally ‘--with-inputs’ would be enough, but I don’t know. At
the same time, those variants don’t cost us much, so if they’re useful,
why not.
Thoughts, HPC folks?

Is it not related to "package parameters" or the discussion we had
about rebuilding everything with another compiler?
Other said, '--with-inputs' will do the job for explicit packages but
not the implicit ones.
One easy move should to generalize -- if possible -- what is done in
'with-python2' or 'with-ocaml4.07'. But I am not convinced it is easy
because it is clearly dependant on the build system.
On the other hand, I gave a look at spack (after the discussion at
FOSDEM) and how they do. The WIP branch [1] about the solver is
interesting: possibly catch incompatibilities earlier using solver
(SAT or other) and specifications. But I am not convinced neither it
is the way to go because it adds a lot of complexity for a gain that
could be discussed. ;-)
Well, for these particular patches, the variants are ok.
But we should think about how to ease the variant generation of all the chain.
Cheers,
simon

Hi Ludovic & Simon!
I agree, the *-mpich packages are not necessary and this asks the
question of why those variants and why not others. Finally, I could keep
them on my own channel for convenience.
If I understand, in this case, the usage of --with-input is
possible because implicit packages are very likely to not use mpi ?
In guix packages, mpi input is usually declared as
(("openmpi" . ,openmpi))
or
(("mpi" . ,openmpi))
So two flags are necessary for the transformation.
Doing this, I ran into problems with your patch...
You can try with my original patch just a transformation of
mumps-openmpi into mumps-mpich:
guix time-machine --url=https://gitlab.inria.fr/bremond/guix.git\
--branch=add-mpich -- \
environment -K --pure --ad-hoc mumps-openmpi \
--with-input=mpi=mpich --with-input=openmpi=mpich --
This works for me, I can use a similar command to compile and execute a
program which uses mumps and I can see with ldd that mpich is used.
Then with the current mpich patch on savannah master:
guix time-machine --commit=c70261bfb993cebc23cd80042de3f52a8b7932a4 -- \
environment -K --pure --ad-hoc mumps-openmpi \
--with-input=mpi=mpich --with-input=openmpi=mpich --
This fails on my machine for the pt-scotch check (there is the same
error with scalapack check)
Invalid error code (-2) (error ring index 127 invalid)
INTERNAL ERROR: invalid error code fffffffe (Ring Index out of range) in MPID_nem_tcp_init:373
Fatal error in PMPI_Init: Other MPI error, error stack:
MPIR_Init_thread(586)..............:
MPID_Init(224).....................: channel initialization failed
MPIDI_CH3_Init(105)................:

MPID_nem_tcp_init(175).............:
MPID_nem_tcp_get_business_card(401):
MPID_nem_tcp_init(373).............: gethostbyname failed, localhost (errno 0)
If I go into the build directory and launch the check manually after
sourcing the environment-variables file, it works...
So it seems that this is related to guix and the guixbuild environment in
the definition of the package.

Maybe I miss the issue. I have not look at mumps and related since... years. :-)
(Neither your patches. :-D)
If mumps depends explicitly on openmpi, then '--with-inputs' can
rewrite the direct dependencies, by providing say mpich instead of
openmpi.
If petsc* depends explicitly on openmpi and on mumps (which depends
explicitly on openmpi too), then '--with-inputs=openmpi=mpich' will
*only* rewrite the dependency of petsc but not of mumps. So it ends
with petsc compiled with mpich and mumps with openmpi.
Still considering this (fictive) example, where:
- petsc depends on openmpi(1) and mumps
- mumps depends on openmpi(2)
The openmpi(2) is an implicit dependency for petsc and '--with-inputs'
does not work.
*because I know better PETSc than Scotch. ;-)

Are 'pt-scotch' and 'scalapack' compiled with 'mpich' or 'openmpi'?
Because maybe "mumps-openmpi --with-input=openmpi=mpich" compiles
'mumps' using 'mpich' as MPI but compile 'pt-scotch' or 'scalapack'
with the default implementation which seems 'openmpi'.
Thank you for your work.
All the best,
simon

Sorry for the confusion, because what I said is *wrong*.
It is not the definition of an implicit inputs. The definition is:
Toggle snippet (9 lines)
In addition, this build system ensures that the “standard” environment
for GNU packages is available. This includes tools such as GCC, libc,
Coreutils, Bash, Make, Diffutils, grep, and sed (see the (guix
build-system gnu) module for a complete list). We call these the
implicit inputs of a package, because package definitions do not have to
mention them.

Hum, my MUA trims the long message.
Well, my point was: maybe it does not work because of the implicit inputs.
Now, mpi has bitten me so I will try this afternoon. :-)

Considering mumps-openmpi (or scalapack), the package definition contains:
Toggle snippet (7 lines)
(arguments
`(#:configure-flags `("-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=YES")
#:phases (modify-phases %standard-phases
(add-before 'check 'mpi-setup
,%openmpi-setup))))
so you have right. It seems being an environment issue.
The flag '--with-inputs=openmpi=mpich' changes the MPI implementation
but then at the checking phase, the environment variables (see
%openmpi-setup in gnu/packages/mpi.scm) are not necessarily set for
mpich.
The digression about implicit inputs was not relevant, sorry. :-)
Well, to restore the discussion about the variants '*-mpich' instead
of '*-openmpi', we could use a 'with-mpich' similar to 'with-python2'
or 'with-ocaml4.07' rewritting correctly the definition.
Hope that helps,
simon

Ok thank you for the clarification, I understand better now.
I misunderstood the documentation:
--with-input=package=replacement
[...]
This is a recursive, deep replacement. [...]
So I thought that implicit packages had something to do with other
inputs like native-inputs, but it was not clear for me.
(I must admit that I still do not understand very well the recursive term here)
I made a confusion also with the replacement, --with-input must be given
the name of the package and not the name of the dependency, so
--with-input=openmpi=mpich is sufficient.
In the scalapack input I can see:
`(("mpi" ,openmpi)
("fortran" ,gfortran)
("lapack" ,lapack))) ;for testing only
So my assumption is that the --with-input transformation should work
here as neither gfortran or lapack depends on mpi and to just build
scalapack with mpich I tried:
guix time-machine --commit=c70261bfb993cebc23cd80042de3f52a8b7932a4 -- build scalapack --with-input=openmpi=mpich
This fails with the same error:
I also tried to compile my *-mpich packages in my own branch with the new
mpich package and get the same results :
guix time-machine --url=https://gitlab.inria.fr/bremond/guix.git\
--branch=check-master-mpich -- \
environment --pure --ad-hoc mumps-mpich

Right, ‘--with-input’ could be “good enough”.

I have yet to look more closely into this. However, overall, while I
agree that some flexibility is welcome and actually needed, I’m
skeptical about the goal of potentially allowing for any combination, at
the expense of QA (the solver can check for incompatible options,
provided option compatibility is well specified, but it cannot check
whether something will run or even build at all.)

Well again there are things like ‘package-input-rewriting’ that could
help: we could define a ‘package-with-mpich’ procedure.

My version of the patch must have changed the default driver or
something along these lines.
tcp_init.c:373 in MPICH reads this:
Toggle snippet (7 lines)
/* If we don't have an IP address, try to get it from the name */
if (!ifaddrFound) {
mpi_errno = MPL_get_sockaddr(ifname_string, p_addr);
MPIR_ERR_CHKANDJUMP2(mpi_errno, mpi_errno, MPI_ERR_OTHER, "**gethostbyname", "**gethostbyname %s %d", ifname_string, h_errno);
}
‘MPL_get_sockaddr’ uses ‘getifaddrs’ to get the list of local
interfaces, which in turn is implemented in terms of netlink requests in
libc.
I tried to reproduce it without success, but I guess my example MPI
program is too simple to trigger the issue:

Could you perhaps strace the pt-scotch test that fails so we can see if

About openmpi->mpich, I am not sure it will work because of:

Yes. 'with-python2' and 'with-ocaml4.07' rewrite the build-system
(implicit inputs) and 'package-with-mpich' rewrites packages
('package-input-rewritting' so explicit ones) more tweak some
variables (environment and/or flags).
Sounds good. :-)

That phase just sets environment variables that MPICH will happily
ignore.

Yes "qui peut le plus peut le moins". ;-)
But if the package mpich requires environment variables too.
(I do not have a clean MPI installation at hand so it is difficult to
really test.)

Hi,
I made an strace on scalapack tests (blacs tests)
I cannot see where it goes wrong, but it should be in the trace.
I also compiled another package I use with mpich, adjoinable-mpi, and it
is ok (as there is no checks inside it...). I can use it to run an ocean
model and everything works. So it is the same thing as your example I
think, the end user can use mpich, but the guix daemon cannot.

Even if it only sets variables and should be harmless here, I don't know,
would it be easy to make this openmpi-setup become a mpi-setup with
ad-hoc initialisations?

I do not know why I remove the "package-" in "package-with-python2".
Whatever! :-)
My remark was to maybe distinguish between rewriting an input and
rewriting the build-system. But after some thoughts, I do not know if
it is useful and add more complexity.
However, I do not know if the good candidate is
'package-input-rewriting' or 'package-mapping'; as in
'package-with-python2'. Well, I will try to experiment in the
meantime.
All the best,

I do not have an MPI infrastructure or enough CPU power to rebuild a
lot at hand to fully test it. If one of you can try on right infra
and report, it could be awesome.
BTW, it should work only if MPICH does not require extra phases or
environment variables.

The 2 "time-machine" are because the repo
https://gitlab.inria.fr/bremond/guix.gitlags really behind master, I
guess. You can cut to only one by using a channel file, something
like:
Toggle snippet (10 lines)
(list (channel
(name 'guix)
(url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
(commit
"398ec3c1e265a3f89ed07987f33b264db82e4080"))
(channel
(name ’yours)
(url "https://gitlab.inria.fr/bremond/guix.git")))
and then "guix time-machine -C channels.scm -- build ..."
But yeah, that's another story. :-)

Hello Ludovic,
Apparently at the mpich configuration level, using the experimental
device ch4 instead of ch3 solves the problem : just remove comment on
"--with-device=ch4:ucx". Reversely, with mpich 3.4a2 (for which ch4 is
de default) setting --with-device=ch3 leads to the same failure as with
3.3.2.
I also checked sock channel for ch3 : with-device=ch3:sock, but then on
my laptop, scotch tests hang at
mpirun -n 3 ./test_scotch_dgraph_check data/bump.grf
For the moment, there isn't a stable 3.4 version yet for mpich. I had a
try with the latest 3.4b1 but a test failed...

Nice, we have a way forward.
With the patch below, I have successfully built:
guix build mumps-openmpi --with-input=openmpi=mpich
and I confirm that despite the name it depends exclusively on MPICH.

If that’s fine with you I’ll go ahead and commit it; let me know!

We’ll see, but having a solution that works with 3.3 and is likely to
work with 3.4 is good.
I guess we should also check whether we’re obtaining the expected
performance. This builds fine too:
guix build intel-mpi-benchmarks --with-input=openmpi=mpich
Thank you!

Finally pushed as c73496f433044a76003b33c3855bb35ecd0df87f, thanks!
I’m closing this bug, let’s open a new one if we need to further discuss
MPI support in Guix.
