Detailed Description

The class Parallel holds some useful MPI data, like the rank and size of the communicator. This class should be used for all parallel communication using MPI.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Parallel::Parallel ( int *  argc,
char ***  argv,
bool  active 
)
inline

Initializes MPI (using the MPI_Init) function. Also determines the rank and size of the communicator.

Parameters
argcArgc as received by main().
argvArgv as received by main().
activeWhether to turn the MPI on or keep with the computation sequential.
Parallel::~Parallel ( )
inline

Member Function Documentation

bool Parallel::active ( ) const
inline
bool Parallel::IamMaster ( ) const
inline

This function returns true if this process is the master process, i.e. it has ID zero.

int Parallel::iproc ( ) const
inline
bool Parallel::isMyWork ( int  i) const
inline

If there are several work items, i-th one is assigned to the (i % Nproc_)-th process. This function returns true whenever given wirk item (indexed by "i") is to be processed by the current process.

Parameters
iWork item ID.
int Parallel::Nproc ( ) const
inline
template<class T >
void Parallel::sync ( ArrayView< T >  array,
size_t  chunksize,
size_t  Nchunk 
) const
inline

Synchronize array across processes. It is assumed that i-th chunk of the array is present on the (i % Nproc_)-th process. That process will be used as the broadcast root. This behaviour is compatible with the member function isMyWork.

Parameters
arrayArray to synchronize,
chunksizeSize of the per-process segment.
NchunkTotal number of chunks in the array. Altogether chunksize*Nchunk elements will be synchronized. If there are some elements more, they will be left untouched (and un-broadcast).
void Parallel::wait ( ) const
inline

Inserts a MPI BARRIER.
