The vector variant of MPI_Neighbor_alltoall allows sending/receiving different numbers of elements to and from each neighbor.
<H2>Synopsis</H2>
<PRE>
int MPI_Neighbor_alltoallv(const void *sendbuf, const int sendcounts[], const int sdispls[],
MPI_Datatype sendtype, void *recvbuf, const int recvcounts[],
const int rdispls[], MPI_Datatype recvtype, MPI_Comm comm)
</PRE>
<H2>Input Parameters</H2>
<DL>
<DT><B>sendbuf </B> <DD> starting address of the send buffer (choice)
<DT><B>sendcounts </B> <DD> non-negative integer array (of length outdegree) specifying the number of elements to send to each neighbor
<DT><B>sdispls </B> <DD> integer array (of length outdegree). Entry j specifies the displacement (relative to sendbuf) from which to send the outgoing data to neighbor j
<DT><B>sendtype </B> <DD> data type of send buffer elements (handle)
<DT><B>recvcounts </B> <DD> non-negative integer array (of length indegree) specifying the number of elements that are received from each neighbor
<DT><B>rdispls </B> <DD> integer array (of length indegree). Entry i specifies the displacement (relative to recvbuf) at which to place the incoming data from neighbor i.
<DT><B>recvtype </B> <DD> data type of receive buffer elements (handle)
<DT><B>comm </B> <DD> communicator with topology structure (handle)
</DL>
<P>
<H2>Output Parameters</H2>
<DL>
<DT><B>recvbuf </B> <DD> starting address of the receive buffer (choice)
</DL>
<P>
<H2>Thread and Interrupt Safety</H2>
<P>
This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be
safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided
thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically,
this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as <tt>malloc
</tt>or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.
<P>
<H2>Notes for Fortran</H2>
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for <tt>MPI_WTIME</tt> and <tt>MPI_WTICK</tt>) have
an additional argument <tt>ierr</tt> at the end of the argument list. <tt>ierr
</tt>is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the
<tt>call</tt> statement.
<P>
All MPI objects (e.g., <tt>MPI_Datatype</tt>, <tt>MPI_Comm</tt>) are of type <tt>INTEGER
</tt>in Fortran.
<P>
<H2>Errors</H2>
<P>
All MPI routines (except <tt>MPI_Wtime</tt> and <tt>MPI_Wtick</tt>) return an error value;
C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last
argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler
may be changed with <tt>MPI_Comm_set_errhandler</tt> (for communicators),
<tt>MPI_File_set_errhandler</tt> (for files), and <tt>MPI_Win_set_errhandler</tt> (for
RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine <tt>MPI_Errhandler_set</tt> may be used but
its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler
<tt>MPI_ERRORS_RETURN</tt> may be used to cause error values to be returned.
Note that MPI does <em>not</em> guarentee that an MPI program can continue past
an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever
possible.
