MPI_Win_lock_all

Packit Service c5cf8c
Begin an RMA access epoch at all processes on the given window. 
Packit Service c5cf8c

Synopsis

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
int MPI_Win_lock_all(int assert, MPI_Win win)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
Starts an RMA access epoch to all processes in win, with a lock type of
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_Lock_shared</tt>. During the epoch, the calling process can access the window
Packit Service c5cf8c
memory on all processes in win by using RMA operations. A window locked with
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_Win_lock_all</tt> must be unlocked with <tt>MPI_Win_unlock_all</tt>. This routine is not
Packit Service c5cf8c
collective -- the ALL refers to a lock on all members of the group of the
Packit Service c5cf8c
window.

Packit Service c5cf8c

Used to optimize this call; zero may be used as a default.

Notes

Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
This call is not collective.
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
The <tt>assert</tt> argument is used to indicate special conditions for the fence that
Packit Service c5cf8c
an implementation may use to optimize the <tt>MPI_Win_lock_all</tt> operation.  The
Packit Service c5cf8c
value zero is always correct.  Other assertion values may be or'ed together.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Assertions that are valid for <tt>MPI_Win_lock_all</tt> are:
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_MODE_NOCHECK</tt>
No other process holds, or will attempt to acquire a
Packit Service c5cf8c
conflicting lock, while the caller holds the window lock. This is useful
Packit Service c5cf8c
when mutual exclusion is achieved by other means, but the coherence
Packit Service c5cf8c
operations that may be attached to the lock and unlock calls are still
Packit Service c5cf8c
required.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
There may be additional overheads associated with using <tt>MPI_Win_lock</tt> and
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_Win_lock_all</tt> concurrently on the same window. These overheads could be
Packit Service c5cf8c
avoided by specifying the assertion <tt>MPI_MODE_NOCHECK</tt> when possible
Packit Service c5cf8c

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

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.

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
MPI_SUCCESS
No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_RANK
Invalid source or destination rank. Ranks must be between
Packit Service c5cf8c
zero and the size of the communicator minus one; ranks in a receive
Packit Service c5cf8c
(<tt>MPI_Recv</tt>, <tt>MPI_Irecv</tt>, <tt>MPI_Sendrecv</tt>, etc.) may also be <tt>MPI_ANY_SOURCE</tt>.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_WIN
Invalid MPI window object
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_OTHER
Other error; use <tt>MPI_Error_string</tt> to get more information
Packit Service c5cf8c
about this error code.
