SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Cart_map(MPI_Comm comm, int ndims, int *dims,
int *periods, int *newrank)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_CART_MAP(COMM, NDIMS, DIMS, PERIODS, NEWRANK, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, NDIMS, DIMS(*), NEWRANK, IERROR
LOGICAL PERIODS(*)
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int Cartcomm::Map(int ndims, const int dims[],
const bool periods[]) const
INPUT PARAMETERS
comm Input communicator (handle).
ndims Number of dimensions of Cartesian structure (integer).
dims Integer array of size ndims specifying the number of pro-
cesses in each coordinate direction.
periods Logical array of size ndims specifying the periodicity speci-
fication in each coordinate direction.
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
newrank Reordered rank of the calling process; MPI_UNDEFINED if call-
ing process does not belong to grid (integer).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
MPI_Cart_map and MPI_Graph_map can be used to implement all other
topology functions. In general they will not be called by the user
directly, unless he or she is creating additional virtual topology
capability other than that provided by MPI.
MPI_Cart_map computes an "optimal" placement for the calling process on
the physical machine. A possible implementation of this function is to
always return the rank of the calling process, that is, not to perform
any reordering.
ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value
of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ func-
tions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to
MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.
Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for
I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with
MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; 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.
