MPI_Iscatterv(3) MPI MPI_Iscatterv(3)NAMEMPI_Iscatterv - XXX description here
SYNOPSIS
int MPI_Iscatterv(const void *sendbuf, const int sendcounts[], const int displs[],
MPI_Datatype sendtype, void *recvbuf, int recvcount, MPI_Datatype recvtype,
int root, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Request *request)
INPUT PARAMETERS
sendbuf
- address of send buffer (significant only at root) (choice)
sendcounts
- non-negative integer array (of length group size) specifying
the number of elements to send to each processor (significant
only at root)
displs - integer array (of length group size). Entry i specifies the
displacement (relative to sendbuf) from which to take the outgo‐
ing data to process i (significant only at root)
sendtype
- data type of send buffer elements (significant only at root)
(handle)
recvcount
- number of elements in receive buffer (non-negative integer)
recvtype
- data type of receive buffer elements (handle)
root - rank of sending process (integer)
comm - communicator (handle)
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
recvbuf
- starting address of the receive buffer (choice)
request
- communication request (handle)
THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY
This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be
safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided
thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically,
this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or
other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-
safe.
NOTES FOR FORTRAN
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have
an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr is
an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with
the call statement.
All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in
Fortran.
ERRORS
All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error
value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in
the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error
handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.
The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for com‐
municators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and
MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine
MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The prede‐
fined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values
to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program
can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt
to continue whenever possible.
