INPUT PARAMETERS¶
- sendbuf: Starting address of send buffer (choice).
- sendcount: Number of elements in send buffer (integer).
- sendtype: Datatype of send buffer elements (handle).
- recvcount: Integer array (of length group size) containing the number of elements that are received from each process.
- displs: Integer array (of length group size). Entry i specifies the displacement (relative to recvbuf) at which to place the incoming data from process i.
- recvtype: Datatype of receive buffer elements (handle).
- comm: Communicator (handle).
- info: Info (handle, persistent only).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS¶
- recvbuf: Address of receive buffer (choice).
- request: Request (handle, non-blocking only).
- ierror: Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION¶
MPI_Allgatherv is similar to MPI_Allgather in that all processes gather data from all other processes, except that each process can send a different amount of data. The block of data sent from the jth process is received by every process and placed in the jth block of the buffer recvbuf.
The type signature associated with sendcount, sendtype, at process j must be equal to the type signature associated with recvcounts[j], recvtype at any other process.
The outcome is as if all processes executed calls to
MPI_Allgatherv(sendbuf, sendcount, sendtype, recvbuf, recvcount,
displs,recvtype,root,comm); // for root = 0 , ..., n-1.
The rules for correct usage of MPI_Allgatherv are easily found from the corresponding rules for MPI_Gatherv.
USE OF IN-PLACE OPTION¶
When the communicator is an intracommunicator, you can perform an all-gather operation in-place (the output buffer is used as the input buffer). Use the variable MPI_IN_PLACE as the value of sendbuf. In this case, sendcount and sendtype are ignored. The input data of each process is assumed to be in the area where that process would receive its own contribution to the receive buffer. Specifically, the outcome of a call to MPI_Allgatherv that used the in-place option is identical to the case in which all processes executed n calls to
MPI_Allgatherv ( MPI_IN_PLACE, 0, MPI_DATATYPE_NULL, recvbuf,
recvcounts, displs, recvtype, root, comm ); // for root =0, ... , n-1.
Note that MPI_IN_PLACE is a special kind of value; it has the same restrictions on its use as MPI_BOTTOM.
Because the in-place option converts the receive buffer into a send-and-receive buffer, a Fortran binding that includes INTENT must mark these as INOUT, not OUT.
WHEN COMMUNICATOR IS AN INTER-COMMUNICATOR¶
When the communicator is an inter-communicator, the gather operation occurs in two phases. The data is gathered from all the members of the first group, concatenated, and received by all the members of the second group. Then the data is gathered from all the members of the second group, concatenated, and received by all the members of the first. The send buffer arguments in the one group must be consistent with the receive buffer arguments in the other group, and vice versa. The operation must exhibit symmetric, full-duplex behavior.
ERRORS¶
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the return result of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.
Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler associated with the communication object (e.g., communicator, window, file) is called. If no communication object is associated with the MPI call, then the call is considered attached to MPI_COMM_SELF and will call the associated MPI error handler. When MPI_COMM_SELF is not initialized (i.e., before MPI_Init/MPI_Init_thread, after MPI_Finalize, or when using the Sessions Model exclusively) the error raises the initial error handler. The initial error handler can be changed by calling MPI_Comm_set_errhandler on MPI_COMM_SELF when using the World model, or the mpi_initial_errhandler CLI argument to mpiexec or info key to MPI_Comm_spawn/MPI_Comm_spawn_multiple. If no other appropriate error handler has been set, then the MPI_ERRORS_RETURN error handler is called for MPI I/O functions and the MPI_ERRORS_ABORT error handler is called for all other MPI functions.
Open MPI includes three predefined error handlers that can be used:
- MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL Causes the program to abort all connected MPI processes.
- MPI_ERRORS_ABORT An error handler that can be invoked on a communicator, window, file, or session. When called on a communicator, it acts as if MPI_Abort was called on that communicator. If called on a window or file, acts as if MPI_Abort was called on a communicator containing the group of processes in the corresponding window or file. If called on a session, aborts only the local process.
- MPI_ERRORS_RETURN Returns an error code to the application.
MPI applications can also implement their own error handlers by calling:
- MPI_Comm_create_errhandler then MPI_Comm_set_errhandler
- MPI_File_create_errhandler then MPI_File_set_errhandler
- MPI_Session_create_errhandler then MPI_Session_set_errhandler or at MPI_Session_init
- MPI_Win_create_errhandler then MPI_Win_set_errhandler
Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.
