MPI_Topo_test(3OpenMPI) MPI_Topo_test(3OpenMPI)
NAME
MPI_Topo_test - Determines the type of topology (if any) associated
with a communicator.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Topo_test(MPI_Comm comm, int *top_type)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_TOPO_TEST(COMM, TOP_TYPE, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, TOP_TYPE, IERROR
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int Comm::Get_topology() const
INPUT PARAMETER
comm Communicator (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
top_type Topology type of communicator comm (choice).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
The function MPI_Topo_test returns the type of topology that is
assigned to a communicator.
The output value top_type is one of the following:
MPI_GRAPH graph topology
MPI_CART Cartesian topology
MPI_UNDEFINED no topology
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.
