Blob Blame History Raw
This file contains the raw material for a file of the MPI defined
constants

The data could be organized to look like an enum - or add something to
doctext that say "make each value in a list into an index entry to the
same page.

Doctext could also use a way to include an index to the corresponding
page in the standard, perhaps by using an *input* index file (generated,
perhaps, from the index entries in the LaTeX for the definition index entry).

Needs to be updated for MPI-2 and MPI-3

/*N Datatypes
   Data types:
   Note that the Fortran types should only be used in Fortran programs,
   and the C types should only be used in C programs.  For example,
   it is in error to use 'MPI_INT' for a Fortran INTEGER.
   Datatypes are of type 'MPI_Datatype' in C, type 'INTEGER' in Fortran,
   and 'Type(MPI_Datatype)' in Fortran08
N*/

We may want to enlarge on some of these.  For example, the description of
communicators could include information from the standard, and/or links to the
standard.

 MPI Type classes used with routines to return Fortran types with defined
 precision and range
+I MPI_TYPECLASS_REAL    - 'REAL'
. MPI_TYPECLASS_INTEGER - 'INTEGER'
- MPI_TYPECLASS_COMPLEX - 'COMPLEX'

 MPI Darray and Subarray Values:
 These values are used to create a datatype with the 'DARRAY' and 'SUBARRAY'
 constructors.
+I MPI_ORDER_C              - Row-major order (as used by C)
. MPI_ORDER_FORTRAN        - Column-major order (as used by Fortran)
. MPI_DISTRIBUTE_BLOCK     - Block distribution
. MPI_DISTRIBUTE_CYCLIC    - Cyclic distribution
. MPI_DISTRIBUTE_NONE      - This dimension is not distributed
- MPI_DISTRIBUTE_DFLT_DARG - Use the default distribution

 Communicators:
 Communicators are of type 'MPI_Comm' in C, 'INTEGER' in Fortran, and
 'Type(MPI_Comm)' in Fortran08
+I MPI_COMM_WORLD - Contains all of the processes
- MPI_COMM_SELF - Contains only the calling process

 Kind of communicator for 'MPI_COMM_SPLIT_TYPE':
.I MPI_COMM_TYPE_SHARED - All processes that can share memory are grouped into
 the same communicator.

 Groups:
 Groups are of type 'MPI_Group' in C, 'INTEGER' in Fortran,
 and 'Type(MPI_Group)' in Fortran08

.I MPI_GROUP_EMPTY - A group containing no members.

   Results of the compare operations on groups and communicators:
+I  MPI_IDENT - Identical
.  MPI_CONGRUENT  - (only for 'MPI_COMM_COMPARE') The groups are identical
.  MPI_SIMILAR - Same members, but in a different order
-  MPI_UNEQUAL - Different


 Collective operations:
 The collective combination operations (e.g., 'MPI_REDUCE', 'MPI_ALLREDUCE',
 'MPI_REDUCE_SCATTER', and 'MPI_SCAN') take a combination operation.
 This operation is of type 'MPI_Op' in C and of type 'INTEGER' in Fortran.
 The predefined operations are

+I  MPI_MAX - return the maximum
.  MPI_MIN - return the minumum
.  MPI_SUM - return the sum
.  MPI_PROD - return the product
.  MPI_LAND - return the logical and
.  MPI_BAND - return the bitwise and
.  MPI_LOR - return the logical or
.  MPI_BOR - return the bitwise of
.  MPI_LXOR - return the logical exclusive or
.  MPI_BXOR - return the bitwise exclusive or
.  MPI_MINLOC - return the minimum and the location (actually, the value of
                the second element of the structure where the minimum of
                the first is found)
.  MPI_MAXLOC - return the maximum and the location
.  MPI_REPLACE - replace b with a
-  MPI_NO_OP - perform no operation

Notes on collective operations:

The reduction functions ('MPI_Op') do not return an error value.  As a result,
if the functions detect an error, all they can do is either call 'MPI_Abort'
or silently skip the problem.  Thus, if you change the error handler from
'MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL' to something else, for example, 'MPI_ERRORS_RETURN',
then no error may be indicated.

The reason for this is the performance problems in ensuring that
all collective routines return the same error value.

Note that not all datatypes are valid for these functions.  For example,
'MPI_COMPLEX' is not valid for 'MPI_MAX' and 'MPI_MIN'.  In addition, the MPI
1.1 standard did not include the C types 'MPI_CHAR' and 'MPI_UNSIGNED_CHAR'
among the lists of arithmetic types for operations like 'MPI_SUM'.  However,
since the C type 'char' is an integer type (like 'short'), it should have been
included.  The MPI Forum will probably include 'char' and 'unsigned char'
as a clarification to MPI 1.1; until then, users are advised that MPI
implementations may not accept 'MPI_CHAR' and 'MPI_UNSIGNED_CHAR' as valid
datatypes for 'MPI_SUM', 'MPI_PROD', etc.  MPICH does allow these datatypes.
