MPI_Get_processor_name

Packit Service c5cf8c
Gets the name of the processor 
Packit Service c5cf8c

Synopsis

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
int MPI_Get_processor_name(char *name, int *resultlen)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Output Parameters

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
name
A unique specifier for the actual (as opposed to virtual) node. This
Packit Service c5cf8c
must be an array of size at least <tt>MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME</tt>.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
resultlen
Length (in characters) of the name
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c

Notes

Packit Service c5cf8c
The name returned should identify a particular piece of hardware;
Packit Service c5cf8c
the exact format is implementation defined.  This name may or may not
Packit Service c5cf8c
be the same as might be returned by <tt>gethostname</tt>, <tt>uname</tt>, or <tt>sysinfo</tt>.

Thread and Interrupt Safety

Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
This routine is thread-safe.  This means that this routine may be
Packit Service c5cf8c
safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided
Packit Service c5cf8c
thread locks.  However, the routine is not interrupt safe.  Typically,
Packit Service c5cf8c
this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as <tt>malloc
Packit Service c5cf8c
</tt>or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

Notes for Fortran

Packit Service c5cf8c
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for <tt>MPI_WTIME</tt> and <tt>MPI_WTICK</tt>) have
Packit Service c5cf8c
an additional argument <tt>ierr</tt> at the end of the argument list.  <tt>ierr
Packit Service c5cf8c
</tt>is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
Packit Service c5cf8c
in C.  In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>call</tt> statement.
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
All MPI objects (e.g., <tt>MPI_Datatype</tt>, <tt>MPI_Comm</tt>) are of type <tt>INTEGER
Packit Service c5cf8c
</tt>in Fortran.
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
In Fortran, the character argument should be declared as a character string
Packit Service c5cf8c
of <tt>MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME</tt> rather than an array of dimension
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME</tt>.  That is,
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
   character*(MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME) name
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
rather than
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
   character name(MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
The two
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
The sizes of MPI strings in Fortran are one less than the sizes of that
Packit Service c5cf8c
string in C/C++ because the C/C++ versions provide room for the trailing
Packit Service c5cf8c
null character required by C/C++.  For example, <tt>MPI_MAX_ERROR_STRING</tt> is
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>mpif.h</tt> is one smaller than the same value in <tt>mpi.h</tt>.  See the MPI
Packit Service c5cf8c
standard, sections 2.6.2 and 4.12.9.

Errors

Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
All MPI routines (except <tt>MPI_Wtime</tt> and <tt>MPI_Wtick</tt>) return an error value;
Packit Service c5cf8c
C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last
Packit Service c5cf8c
argument.  Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
Packit Service c5cf8c
called.  By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.  The error handler
Packit Service c5cf8c
may be changed with <tt>MPI_Comm_set_errhandler</tt> (for communicators),
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_File_set_errhandler</tt> (for files), and <tt>MPI_Win_set_errhandler</tt> (for
Packit Service c5cf8c
RMA windows).  The MPI-1 routine <tt>MPI_Errhandler_set</tt> may be used but
Packit Service c5cf8c
its use is deprecated.  The predefined error handler
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_ERRORS_RETURN</tt> may be used to cause error values to be returned.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past
Packit Service c5cf8c
an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever
Packit Service c5cf8c
possible.

Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_SUCCESS
No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
