NAME
MPI_Cart_rank - Determines process rank in communicator given Carte-
sian location.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Cart_rank(MPI_Comm comm, int *coords, int *rank)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_CART_RANK(COMM, COORDS, RANK, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, COORDS(*), RANK, IERROR
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int Cartcomm::Get_cart_rank(const int coords[]) const
INPUT PARAMETERS
comm Communicator with Cartesian structure (handle).
coords Integer array (of size ndims, which was defined by
MPI_Cart_create call) specifying the Cartesian coordinates of
a process.
OUTPUT PARAMETER
rank Rank of specified process (integer).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
For a process group with Cartesian structure, the function
MPI_Cart_rank translates the logical process coordinates to process
ranks as they are used by the point-to-point routines. For dimension i
with periods(i) = true, if the coordinate, coords(i), is out of range,
that is, coords(i) < 0 or coords(i) >= dims(i), it is shifted back to
the interval 0 =< coords(i) < dims(i) automatically. Out-of-range
coordinates are erroneous for nonperiodic dimensions.
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.
