Classes

struct  sVcom
 Contains public data members for Vcom class. More...

Defines

#define VCOM_MPI_TAG   111
 A base value for MPI tags.

Typedefs

typedef struct sVcom Vcom
 Declaration of the Vcom class as the Vcom structure.

Functions

int Vcom_init (int *argc, char ***argv)
 The Vmp initializer.
int Vcom_finalize (void)
 The Vmp finalizer.
VcomVcom_ctor (int commtype)
 Construct the communications object. This routine sets up data members of class and initializes MPI.
int Vcom_ctor2 (Vcom *thee, int commtype)
 Construct the communications object. This routine sets up data members of class and initializes MPI. This is broken into two parts to be callable from FORTRAN.
void Vcom_dtor (Vcom **thee)
 Destroy the communications object.
void Vcom_dtor2 (Vcom *thee)
 Destroy the communications object. This is broken into two parts to be callable from FORTRAN.
int Vcom_send (Vcom *thee, int des, void *buf, int len, int type, int block)
 Send a buffer. Returns 1 on success.
int Vcom_recv (Vcom *thee, int src, void *buf, int len, int type, int block)
 Receive a (character) buffer.
The blocking flag is present, but not used. All receives are assumed to be blocking. A non-blocking receive would be *very* ugly to implement (signals or something?).
int Vcom_getCount (Vcom *thee, int src, int *length, int type)
 Perform a blocking probe to get the length (in number of items of specified type) of an incoming message and place it in the argument ``length".
int Vcom_reduce (Vcom *thee, void *sendbuf, void *recvbuf, int length, int type, int op)
 Perform a reduction of the data across all processors. This is equivalent (and in the case of MPI is identical to) MPI_Allreduce. Basically, the specified operations are appleed to each member of the sendbuf across all processors and the results are written to recvbuf.
int Vcom_size (Vcom *thee)
 Get the number of PEs in communicator.
int Vcom_resize (Vcom *thee, int newsize)
 Resize (shrink) the communications group to include only newsize number of processors.
Obsolete processes are given rank of -1 and size of 0.
int Vcom_rank (Vcom *thee)
 Get the ID of the local PE.
int Vcom_barr (Vcom *thee)
 Synchronization barrier.
