MPI_Fetch_and_op — Combines the contents of the origin buffer with that of a target buffer and returns the target buffer value.

SYNTAX

INPUT PARAMETERS

  • origin_addr: Initial address of buffer (choice).
  • result_addr: Initial address of result buffer (choice).
  • datatype: Data type of the entry in origin, result, and target buffers (handle).
  • target_rank: Rank of target (nonnegative integer).
  • target_disp: Displacement from start of window to beginning of target buffer (nonnegative integer).
  • op: Reduce operation (handle).
  • win: Window object (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

•
ierror: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

Accumulate one element of type datatype from the origin buffer (origin_addr) to the buffer at offset target_disp, in the target window specified by target_rank and win, using the operation op and return in the result buffer result_addr the contents of the target buffer before the accumulation.

The origin and result buffers (origin_addr and result_addr) must be disjoint. Any of the predefined operations for MPI_Rreduce, as well as MPI_NO_OP or MPI_REPLACE, can be specified as op; user-defined functions cannot be used. The datatype argument must be a predefined datatype. The operation is executed atomically.

A new predefined operation, MPI_REPLACE, is defined. It corresponds to the associative function f(a, b) =b; that is, the current value in the target memory is replaced by the value supplied by the origin.

A new predefined operation, MPI_NO_OP, is defined. It corresponds to the assiciative function f(a, b) = a; that is the current value in the target memory is returned in the result buffer at the origin and no operation is performed on the target buffer.

NOTES

It is the user’s responsibility to guarantee that, when using the accumulate functions, the target displacement argument is such that accesses to the window are properly aligned according to the data type arguments in the call to the MPI_Fetch_and_op function.

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.

See the Error Handling section of the MPI-3.1 standard for more information.
