MPI_Alltoallv

Sends data from all to all processes, with a displacement

Synopsis

#include "mpi.h"
int MPI_Alltoallv ( 
        void *sendbuf, 
        int *sendcnts, 
        int *sdispls, 
        MPI_Datatype sendtype, 
        void *recvbuf, 
        int *recvcnts, 
        int *rdispls, 
        MPI_Datatype recvtype, 
        MPI_Comm comm )

Input Parameters

	sendbuf	starting address of send buffer (choice)
	sendcounts	integer array equal to the group size specifying the number of elements to send to each processor
	sdispls	integer array (of length group size). Entry `j` specifies the displacement (relative to sendbuf from which to take the outgoing data destined for process `j`
	sendtype	data type of send buffer elements (handle)
	recvcounts	integer array equal to the group size specifying the maximum number of elements that can be received from each processor
	rdispls	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	data type of receive buffer elements (handle)
	comm	communicator (handle)

Output Parameter

recvbuf: address of receive buffer (choice)

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. ierris 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 INTEGERin 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_Errhandler_set; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an error.

MPI_ERR_COMM: Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null communicator in a call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank).

MPI_ERR_COUNT: Invalid count argument. Count arguments must be non-negative; a count of zero is often valid.

MPI_ERR_TYPE: Invalid datatype argument. May be an uncommitted MPI_Datatype (see MPI_Type_commit).

MPI_ERR_BUFFER: Invalid buffer pointer. Usually a null buffer where one is not valid.
