recv-method: A Rank Receives (Blocking) an Object from the Other Rank

Description

This method lets a rank receive (blocking) an object from the other rank in the same communicator. The default return is the object sent from the other rank.

Usage

recv(x.buffer = NULL, rank.source = .SPMD.CT$rank.source,
       tag = .SPMD.CT$tag, comm = .SPMD.CT$comm,
       status = .SPMD.CT$status)

Arguments

x.buffer

a buffer to store x sent from the other rank.

rank.source

a source rank where x sent from

tag

a tag number.

comm

a communicator number.

status

a status number.

Value

• An object is returned by default.

Details

A corresponding send() should be evoked at the corresponding rank rank.source.

Examples

### Save code in a file "demo.r" and run with 2 processors by
### SHELL> mpiexec -np 2 Rscript demo.r

### Initial.
library(pbdMPI, quietly = TRUE)
init()
.comm.size <- comm.size()
.comm.rank <- comm.rank()

### Examples.
N <- 5
x <- (1:N) + N * .comm.rank
if(.comm.rank == 0){
  y <- send(matrix(x, nrow = 1))
} else if(.comm.rank == 1){
  y <- recv()
}
comm.print(y, rank.print = 1)
