Communicators

Communicators

An MPI communicator specifies the communication context for a communication operation. In particular, it specifies the set of processes which share the context, and assigns each each process a unique rank (see MPI.Comm_rank) taking an integer value in 0:n-1, where n is the number of processes in the communicator (see MPI.Comm_size.

Types

MPI.Comm — Type.
MPI.Comm

An MPI Communicator object.

Constants

MPI.COMM_WORLD — Constant.
MPI.COMM_WORLD

A communicator containing all processes with which the local rank can communicate at initialization. In a typical "static-process" model, this will be all processes.

source
MPI.COMM_SELF — Constant.
MPI.COMM_SELF

A communicator containing only the local process.
