  • Adds the field .spec.mpiImplementation, defaults to OpenMPI
  • The Intel implementation requires a Service fronting the launcher
  • Passing the number of slots through environment variable instead of hostfile (some versions of Intel MPI ignore the slots defined in the hostfile).
  • Add an example that uses Intel MPI

Intel MPI is very flaky at startup, as opposed to OpenMPI. In particular, it won't retry connections to workers if they are the hostnames are not resolvable. The entrypoint handles this.

LGTM. Would be great if you could document what Intel MPI versions was it tested with.

func (c *MPIJobController) getOrCreateWorkersService(mpiJob *kubeflow.MPIJob) (*corev1.Service, error) {
svc, err := c.serviceLister.Services(mpiJob.Namespace).Get(mpiJob.Name + workerSuffix)
func (c *MPIJobController) getOrCreateWorkersService(job *kubeflow.MPIJob) (*corev1.Service, error) {
return c.getOrCreateService(job, newWorkersService)

Can you simplify the code by creating the service here and removing the newWorkersService() factory function? And same with the lanucher?

I'm getting rid of the factory in the getOrCreateService function. But I have to keep the newWorkersService because it's used for tests.

I think this still can cause issues sometimes, i.e. sometimes there is a window when the launcher is able to resolve it's own hostname, but workers are not. This happens to me usually in the second run if I schedule two runs in a row.

It should be fine though, since this is only an example

Are you sure that was the problem?
When I only had the check for the launcher, I was getting flaky startups. Now that I have checks for all the workers as well, the job starts every time. I couldn't really debug what was going on with just the check for the launcher, as Hydra doesn't log the output of the ssh calls :(

The Intel implementation requires a Service fronting the launcher.
