sendrecv-method: Send and Receive an Object to and from Other Ranks

Description

This method lets a rank send an object to the other rank and receive an object from another rank in the same communicator. The default return is x.

Usage

sendrecv(x, x.buffer = NULL,
  rank.dest = (comm.rank(.pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm) + 1) %%
              comm.size(.pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm),
  send.tag = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$tag,
  rank.source = (comm.rank(.pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm) - 1) %%
                comm.size(.pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm),
  recv.tag = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$tag,
  comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm, status = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$status)

Arguments

x

an object to be sent from a rank.

x.buffer

a buffer to store x sent from the other rank.

rank.dest

a rank of destination where x send to.

send.tag

a send tag number.

rank.source

a source rank where x sent from.

recv.tag

a receive tag number.

comm

a communicator number.

status

a status number.

Value

A x is returned by default.

Methods

For calling spmd.sendrecv.*():

signature(x = "ANY", x.buffer = "ANY")

signature(x = "integer", x.buffer = "integer")

signature(x = "numeric", x.buffer = "numeric")

signature(x = "raw", x.buffer = "raw")

Details

A corresponding sendrecv() should be evoked at the corresponding ranks rank.dest and rank.source.

rank.dest and rank.source can be as.integer(NULL) to create a silent sendrecv operation which is more efficient than setting rank.dest and rank.source to be equal.
