- win
- A window that was created with MPI_Win_create_dynamic
- base
- Initial address of window (choice).
- size
- Size of window in bytes (nonnegative
integer).
- win
- Window object returned by the call (handle).
- IERROR
- Fortran only: Error status (integer).
MPI_Win_attach
is a one-sided MPI communication call used to attach a memory region of
size bytes starting at address base to a window for RMA access. The window
win must have been created using MPI_Win_create_dynamic. Multiple non-overlapping
memory regions may be attached to the same dynamic window. Attaching overlapping
memory regions to the same dynamic window is erroneous.
If the base value
used by MPI_Win_attach was allocated by MPI_Alloc_mem, the size of the
window can be no larger than the value set by the MPI_ALLOC_MEM function.
MPI_Win_detach can be used to detach a previously attached memory region
from win. The memory address base and win must match arguments passed to
a previous call to MPI_Win_attach.
Use memory allocated by MPI_Alloc_mem
to guarantee properly aligned window boundaries (such as word, double-word,
cache line, page frame, and so on).
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.
