5.9. GLOBAL REDUCTION OPERATIONS |
175 |
/* explain to MPI how type Complex is defined */
MPI_Type_contiguous( 2, MPI_DOUBLE, &ctype );
MPI_Type_commit( &ctype );
/* create the complex-product user-op */
MPI_Op_create( myProd, 1, &myOp );
MPI_Reduce( a, answer, 100, ctype, myOp, root, comm );
/* At this point, the answer, which consists of 100 Complexes, * resides on process root
*/
5.9.6 All-Reduce
MPI includes a variant of the reduce operations where the result is returned to all processes in a group. MPI requires that all processes from the same group participating in these operations receive identical results.
MPI_ALLREDUCE( sendbuf, recvbuf, count, datatype, op, comm)
IN |
sendbuf |
starting address of send bu er (choice) |
OUT |
recvbuf |
starting address of receive bu er (choice) |
IN |
count |
number of elements in send bu er (non-negative inte- |
|
|
ger) |
IN |
datatype |
data type of elements of send bu er (handle) |
IN |
op |
operation (handle) |
IN |
comm |
communicator (handle) |
int MPI_Allreduce(void* sendbuf, void* recvbuf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Op op, MPI_Comm comm)
MPI_ALLREDUCE(SENDBUF, RECVBUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, OP, COMM, IERROR) <type> SENDBUF(*), RECVBUF(*)
INTEGER COUNT, DATATYPE, OP, COMM, IERROR
fvoid MPI::Comm::Allreduce(const void* sendbuf, void* recvbuf, int count, const MPI::Datatype& datatype, const MPI::Op& op) const = 0
(binding deprecated, see Section 15.2) g
If comm is an intracommunicator, MPI_ALLREDUCE behaves the same as MPI_REDUCE except that the result appears in the receive bu er of all the group members.
Advice to implementors. The all-reduce operations can be implemented as a reduce, followed by a broadcast. However, a direct implementation can lead to better performance. (End of advice to implementors.)

CHAPTER 5. COLLECTIVE COMMUNICATION |
1The \in place" option for intracommunicators is speci ed by passing the value
2MPI_IN_PLACE to the argument sendbuf at all processes. In this case, the input data is
3taken at each process from the receive bu er, where it will be replaced by the output data.
4If comm is an intercommunicator, then the result of the reduction of the data provided
5by processes in group A is stored at each process in group B, and vice versa. Both groups
6should provide count and datatype arguments that specify the same type signature.

The following example uses an intracommunicator.
9Example 5.21 A routine that computes the product of a vector and an array that are
10distributed across a group of processes and returns the answer at all nodes (see also Example
115.16).

35
The functions in this section are of importance to library implementors who may want to
36
implement special reduction patterns that are otherwise not easily covered by the standard
37
MPI operations.
