ROMIO

It has been a while since the last official MPICH release, but shortly before US Thanksgiving, the MPICH team released MPICH-3.3.
ROMIO’s most noteworthy changes include

• wholesale reformatting of all the code to the same coding styles. Sorry about your fork or branch.
• use the MPL utility library already used in MPICH. Eliminates a lot of duplicated code
• We started analyzing the code with Coverity. It found “a few” things for us to fix. Valgrind found a few things too.
• Internal datatype representation (the “flattened” representation) now stored as an attribute on the datatype and not in an internal global linked list.
• continued work to make ROMIO 64 bit clean
• Deleted a bunch of unused file system drivers
• Added DDN’s ‘IME’ driver.
• Warn if a file view voilates the MPI-IO rule “monotonically non-decreasing file offsets”
• added support for Lustre lockahead optimization
