- Latency reported is computed by taking the average latency of
all ops from a single task, then taking the minimum of that
between all tasks.
- IOPS is computed by taking the total number of ops across all
tasks divided by the total access time to execute those ops.

On systems where numTasks is not evenly divisible by 'tasksPerNode' we were
seeing some nodes reading multiple files while others read none after
reordering.
Commonly all nodes have the same number of tasks but there is nothing
requiring that to be the case. Imagine having 64 tasks running against 4
nodes which can run 20 tasks each. Here you get three groups of 20 and one
group of 4. On this sytem nodes running in the group of 4 were previously
getting tasksPerNode of 4 which meant they reordered tasks differently than
the nodes which got tasksPerNode of 20.
The key to fixing this is ensuring that every node reorders tasks the same
way, which means ensuring they all use the same input values. Obviously on
systems where the number of tasks per node is inconsistent the reordering will
also be inconsistent (some tasks may end up on the same node, or not as far
separated as desired, etc.) but at least this way you'll always end up with a
1:1 reordering.
- Renamed nodes/nodeCount to numNodes
- Renamed tasksPerNode to numTasksOnNode0
- Ensured that numTasksOnNode0 will always have the same value regardless of
which node you're on
- Removed inconsistently used globals numTasksWorld and tasksPerNode and
replaced with per-test params equivalents
- Added utility functions for setting these values:
- numNodes -> GetNumNodes
- numTasks -> GetNumTasks
- numTasksOnNode0 -> GetNumNodesOnTask0
- Improved MPI_VERSION < 3 logic for GetNumNodes so it works when numTasks is
not evenly divisible by numTasksOnNode0
- Left 'nodes' and 'tasksPerNode' in output alone to not break compatibility
- Allowed command-line params to override numTasks, numNodes, and
numTasksOnNode0 but default to using the MPI-calculated values
-u (uniqueDir) will once again use the full file path specified by the
client instead of truncating it. This was caused by a broken sprintf
which was trying to read/write overlapping buffers.
From the glibc sprintf() documentation:
"The behavior of this function is undefined if copying takes place
between objects that overlap"
