Packit Service c5cf8c
Start an RMA exposure epoch

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Input Parameters

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
group
group of origin processes (handle)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
assert
Used to optimize this call; zero may be used as a default.
Packit Service c5cf8c
See notes. (integer)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
win
window object (handle)

Notes

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

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_MODE_NOCHECK
the matching calls to <tt>MPI_WIN_START</tt> have not yet
Packit Service c5cf8c
occurred on any origin processes when the call to <tt>MPI_WIN_POST</tt> is made.
Packit Service c5cf8c
The nocheck option can be specified by a post call if and only if it is
Packit Service c5cf8c
specified by each matching start call.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_MODE_NOSTORE
the local window was not updated by local stores (or
Packit Service c5cf8c
local get or receive calls) since last synchronization. This may avoid
Packit Service c5cf8c
the need for cache synchronization at the post call.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_MODE_NOPUT
the local window will not be updated by put or accumulate
Packit Service c5cf8c
calls after the post call, until the ensuing (wait) synchronization. This
Packit Service c5cf8c
may avoid the need for cache synchronization at the wait call.

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