send-method: A Rank Send (blocking) an Object to the Other Rank

Description

This method lets a rank send (blocking) an object to the other rank in the same communicator. The default return is NULL.

Usage

send(x, rank.dest = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$rank.dest,
     tag = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$tag,
     comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm)

Arguments

x

an object to be sent from a rank.

rank.dest

a rank of destination where x send to.

tag

a tag number.

comm

a communicator number.

Value

• A NULL is returned by default.

Details

A corresponding recv() should be evoked at the corresponding rank rank.dest.

Examples

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

### Initial.
suppressMessages(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)

### Finish.
