MPI_Neighbor_allgather
is similar to MPI_Allgather, except that only the neighboring processes
receive the result, instead of all processes. The neighbors and buffer layout
is determined by the topology of comm.
The type signature associated with
sendcount, sendtype at a process must be equal to the type signature associated
with recvcount, recvtype at any other process.
For a distributed
graph topology, created with MPI_Dist_graph_create, the sequence of neighbors
in the send and receive buffers at each process is defined as the sequence
returned by MPI_Dist_graph_neighbors for destinations and sources, respectively.
For a general graph topology, created with MPI_Graph_create, the order
of neighbors in the send and receive buffers is defined as the sequence
of neighbors as returned by MPI_Graph_neighbors. Note that general graph
topologies should generally be replaced by the distributed graph topologies.
For a Cartesian topology, created with MPI_Cart_create, the sequence of
neighbors in the send and receive buffers at each process is defined by
order of the dimensions, first the neighbor in the negative direction and
then in the positive direction with displacement 1. The numbers of sources
and destinations in the communication routines are 2*ndims with ndims defined
in MPI_Cart_create. If a neighbor does not exist, i.e., at the border of a
Cartesian topology in the case of a non-periodic virtual grid dimension
(i.e., periods[...]==false), then this neighbor is defined to be MPI_PROC_NULL.
If a neighbor in any of the functions is MPI_PROC_NULL, then the neighborhood
collective communication behaves like a point-to-point communication with
MPI_PROC_NULL in this direction. That is, the buffer is still part of the
sequence of neighbors but it is neither communicated nor updated.
The
MPI_IN_PLACE option for sendbuf is not meaningful for this operation.
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the
value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.
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.
