NAME¶

MPI_Win_shared_query - Query the size and base pointer for a patch of a shared memory window

SYNOPSIS¶

int MPI_Win_shared_query(MPI_Win win, int rank, MPI_Aint *size, int *disp_unit,
void *baseptr)

int MPI_Win_shared_query_c(MPI_Win win, int rank, MPI_Aint *size,
MPI_Aint *disp_unit, void *baseptr)

INPUT PARAMETERS¶

win

- shared memory window object (handle)

rank

- rank in the group of window win or MPI_PROC_NULL (non-negative integer)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS¶

size

- size of the window segment (non-negative integer)

disp_unit

- local unit size for displacements, in bytes (positive integer)

baseptr

- address for load/store access to window segment (choice)

NOTES¶

The returned baseptr points to the calling process address space of the shared segment belonging to the target rank.

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY¶

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 malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

NOTES FOR FORTRAN¶

All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr 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 call statement.

All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

ERRORS¶

All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) 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 MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

MPI_SUCCESS

- No error; MPI routine completed successfully.

MPI_ERR_ARG

- Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).

MPI_ERR_RANK

- Invalid source or destination rank. Ranks must be between zero and the size of the communicator minus one; ranks in a receive ( MPI_Recv , MPI_Irecv , MPI_Sendrecv , etc.) may also be MPI_ANY_SOURCE .

MPI_ERR_WIN

- Invalid MPI window object

MPI_ERR_OTHER

- Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.
