Maps process to Cartesian topology information
<H2>Synopsis</H2>
<PRE>
int MPI_Cart_map(MPI_Comm comm, int ndims, const int dims[], const int periods[], int *newrank)
</PRE>
<H2>Input Parameters</H2>
<DL>
<DT><B>comm </B> <DD> input communicator (handle)
<DT><B>ndims </B> <DD> number of dimensions of Cartesian structure (integer)
<DT><B>dims </B> <DD> integer array of size <tt>ndims</tt> specifying the number of processes in
each coordinate direction
<DT><B>periods </B> <DD> logical array of size <tt>ndims</tt> specifying the periodicity
specification in each coordinate direction
</DL>
<P>
<H2>Output Parameters</H2>
<DL>
<DT><B>newrank </B> <DD> reordered rank of the calling process; <tt>MPI_UNDEFINED</tt> if
calling process does not belong to grid (integer)
</DL>
<P>
<H2>Thread and Interrupt Safety</H2>
<P>
This routine is both thread- and interrupt-safe.
This means that this routine may safely be used by multiple threads and
from within a signal handler.
<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.
<P>
<DL>
<DT><B>MPI_SUCCESS </B> <DD> No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT><B>MPI_ERR_COMM </B> <DD> Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null
communicator in a call (not even allowed in <tt>MPI_Comm_rank</tt>).
</DL>
<DL>
<DT><B>MPI_ERR_DIMS </B> <DD> Invalid dimension argument. A dimension argument
is null or its length is less than or equal to zero.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT><B>MPI_ERR_ARG </B> <DD> Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not
identified by a specific error class (e.g., <tt>MPI_ERR_RANK</tt>).
