MPI_Isend(3) MPI MPI_Isend(3)NAMEMPI_Isend - Begins a nonblocking send
SYNOPSIS
int MPI_Isend(MPICH2_CONST void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, int dest, int tag,
MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Request *request)
INPUT PARAMETERS
buf - initial address of send buffer (choice)
count - number of elements in send buffer (integer)
datatype
- datatype of each send buffer element (handle)
dest - rank of destination (integer)
tag - message tag (integer)
comm - communicator (handle)
OUTPUT PARAMETER
request
- communication request (handle)
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.
MPI_SUCCESS
- No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
MPI_ERR_COMM
- Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null commu‐
nicator in a call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ).
MPI_ERR_COUNT
- Invalid count argument. Count arguments must be non-negative;
a count of zero is often valid.
MPI_ERR_TYPE
- Invalid datatype argument. May be an uncommitted MPI_Datatype
(see MPI_Type_commit ).
MPI_ERR_TAG
- Invalid tag argument. Tags must be non-negative; tags in a
receive ( MPI_Recv , MPI_Irecv , MPI_Sendrecv , etc.) may also
be MPI_ANY_TAG . The largest tag value is available through the
the attribute MPI_TAG_UB .
MPI_ERR_RANK
- Invalid source or destination rank. Ranks must be between
zero and the size of the communicator minus one; ranks in a
receive ( MPI_Recv , MPI_Irecv , MPI_Sendrecv , etc.) may also
be MPI_ANY_SOURCE .
MPI_ERR_INTERN
- This error is returned when some part of the MPICH implementa‐
tion is unable to acquire memory.
