MPI_TYPE_VECTOR(3)MPI_TYPE_VECTOR(3)NAMEMPI_Type_vector - Creates a vector (strided) data type
SYNOPSIS
C:
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_vector( count, blocklen, stride,
old_type, newtype )
int count;
int blocklen;
int stride;
MPI_Datatype old_type;
MPI_Datatype *newtype;
C++:
#include <mpi.h>
Datatype Datatype::Create_vector(
int count,
int blocklength,
int stride) const
Fortran:
INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)
INTEGER count, blocklength, stride, oldtype, newtype, ierror
CALL MPI_TYPE_VECTOR(count, blocklength, stride, oldtype, newtype, ierror)
STANDARDS
This release implements the MPI 1.2 standard, as documented by the MPI
Forum in the spring 1997 release of MPI: A Message Passing Interface
Standard.
DESCRIPTION
The MPI_Type_vector routine creates a vector (strided) data type. This
routine accepts the following parameters:
count Specifies the number of blocks (nonnegative integer)
blocklen Specifies the number of elements in each block
(nonnegative integer)

stride Specifies the number of elements between the start of each
block (integer)
old_type Specifies the old data type (handle)
newtype Returns the new data type (handle)
ierror Specifies the return code value for successful completion,
which is in MPI_SUCCESS. MPI_SUCCESS is defined in the
mpif.h file.
