MPI_Iscatterv

 Scatters a buffer in parts to all processes in a communicator in a nonblocking way

Synopsis

int MPI_Iscatterv(const void *sendbuf, const int sendcounts[], const int displs[],
                  MPI_Datatype sendtype, void *recvbuf, int recvcount, MPI_Datatype recvtype,
                  int root, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Request *request)

Input Parameters

sendbuf
address of send buffer (significant only at root) (choice)
sendcounts
non-negative integer array (of length group size) specifying the number of elements to send to each processor (significant only at root)
displs
integer array (of length group size). Entry i specifies the displacement (relative to sendbuf) from which to take the outgoing data to process i (significant only at root)
sendtype
data type of send buffer elements (significant only at root) (handle)
recvcount
number of elements in receive buffer (non-negative integer)
recvtype
data type of receive buffer elements (handle)
root
rank of sending process (integer)
comm
communicator (handle)

Output Parameters

recvbuf
starting address of the receive buffer (choice)
request
communication request (handle)

Thread and Interrupt Safety

This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

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_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. 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; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.
