MPI_Comm_dup_with_info(3) Open MPI MPI_Comm_dup_with_info(3)NAMEMPI_Comm_dup_with_info - Duplicates an existing communicator using
provided info.
SYNTAXC Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_dup_with_info(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Info info, MPI_Comm *newcomm)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_COMM_DUP_WITH_INFO(COMM, INFO, NEWCOMM, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, INFO, NEWCOMM, IERROR
INPUT PARAMETER
comm Communicator (handle).
info Info argument (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
newcomm Copy of comm (handle).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTIONMPI_Comm_dup_with_info acts exactly like MPI_Comm_dup except that the
info hints associated with the communicator comm are not duplicated in
newcomm. The hints provided by the argument info are associated with
the output communicator newcomm instead.
NOTES
This operation is used to provide a parallel library call with a dupliā
cate communication space that has the same properties as the original
communicator. This includes any attributes (see below) and topologies
(see Chapter 6, "Process Topologies," in the MPI-1 Standard). This call
is valid even if there are pending point-to-point communications
involving the communicator comm. A typical call might involve an
MPI_Comm_dup_with_info at the beginning of the parallel call, and an
MPI_Comm_free of that duplicated communicator at the end of the call.
Other models of communicator management are also possible.
This call applies to both intra- and intercommunicators.
ERRORS
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.
