NAME
MPI_Comm_connect - Establishes communication with a server.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_connect(char *port_name, MPI_Info info, int root,
MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Comm *newcomm)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_COMM_CONNECT(PORT_NAME, INFO, ROOT, COMM, NEWCOMM, IERROR)
CHARACTER*(*) PORT_NAME
INTEGER INFO, ROOT, COMM, NEWCOMM, IERROR
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
MPI::Intercomm MPI::Intracomm::Connect(const char* port_name,
const MPI::Info& info, int root) const
INPUT PARAMETERS
port_name Port name (string, used only on root).
info Options given by root for the connect (handle, used only on
root). No options currently supported.
root Rank in comm of root node (integer).
comm Intracommunicator over which call is collective (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
newcomm Intercommunicator with client as remote group (handle)
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
MPI_Comm_connect establishes communication with a server specified by
port_name. It is collective over the calling communicator and returns
an intercommunicator in which the remote group participated in an
MPI_Comm_accept. The MPI_Comm_connect call must only be called after
the MPI_Comm_accept call has been made by the MPI job acting as the
server.
If the named port does not exist (or has been closed), MPI_Comm_connect
raises an error of class MPI_ERR_PORT.
MPI provides no guarantee of fairness in servicing connection attempts.
That is, connection attempts are not necessarily satisfied in the order
in which they were initiated, and competition from other connection
attempts may prevent a particular connection attempt from being satis-
fied.
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.
See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.
