MPI_Win_flush(3) MPI MPI_Win_flush(3)NAMEMPI_Win_flush - Complete all outstanding RMA operations at the given
target.
SYNOPSIS
int MPI_Win_flush(int rank, MPI_Win win)
MPI_Win_flush completes all outstanding RMA operations initiated by the
calling process to the target rank on the specified window. The opera‐
tions are completed both at the origin and at the target.
INPUT PARAMETERS
rank - rank of window (nonnegative integer)
win - window object (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.
MPI_SUCCESS
- No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
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_WIN
- Invalid MPI window object
MPI_ERR_OTHER
- Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information
about this error code.
