MPI_Cart_map

 Maps process to Cartesian topology information

Synopsis

#include "mpi.h"
int MPI_Cart_map ( 
        MPI_Comm comm_old,
        int ndims,
        int *dims,
        int *periods,
        int *newrank)

Input Parameters

comm input communicator (handle)
ndims number of dimensions of Cartesian structure (integer)
dims integer array of size ndims specifying the number of processes in each coordinate direction
periods logical array of size ndims specifying the periodicity specification in each coordinate direction

Output Parameter

newrank
reordered rank of the calling process; MPI_UNDEFINED if calling process does not belong to grid (integer)

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_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_SUCCESS
No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
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_DIMS
Illegal dimension argument. A dimension argument is null or its length is less than or equal to zero.
MPI_ERR_ARG
Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK).
