Notes

Packit Service c5cf8c

The valid values for the level of thread support are

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_THREAD_SINGLE
Only one thread will execute.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_THREAD_FUNNELED
The process may be multi-threaded, but only the main
Packit Service c5cf8c
thread will make MPI_T calls (all MPI_T calls are funneled to the
Packit Service c5cf8c
main thread).
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_THREAD_SERIALIZED
The process may be multi-threaded, and multiple
Packit Service c5cf8c
threads may make MPI_T calls, but only one at a time: MPI_T calls are not
Packit Service c5cf8c
made concurrently from two distinct threads (all MPI_T calls are serialized).
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE
Multiple threads may call MPI_T, with no restrictions.

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.
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.
