MPI_Open_port

Packit Service c5cf8c
Establish an address that can be used to establish connections between groups of MPI processes 
Packit Service c5cf8c

Synopsis

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
int MPI_Open_port(MPI_Info info, char *port_name)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Input Parameters

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
info
implementation-specific information on how to establish a
Packit Service c5cf8c
port for <tt>MPI_Comm_accept</tt> (handle)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c

Output Parameters

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
port_name
newly established port (string)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Notes

Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI copies a system-supplied port name into <tt>port_name</tt>. <tt>port_name</tt> identifies
Packit Service c5cf8c
the newly opened port and can be used by a client to contact the server.
Packit Service c5cf8c
The maximum size string that may be supplied by the system is
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_MAX_PORT_NAME</tt>.

Reserved Info Key Values

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
ip_port
Value contains IP port number at which to establish a port.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
ip_address
Value contains IP address at which to establish a port.
Packit Service c5cf8c
If the address is not a valid IP address of the host on which the
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_OPEN_PORT</tt> call is made, the results are undefined.

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

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

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