mpi.dims.create: MPI_Dims_create

In Rmpi: Interface (Wrapper) to MPI (Message-Passing Interface)

MPI_Dims_create

Description

mpi.dims.create Create a Cartesian dimension used by mpi.cart.create.

Usage

 mpi.dims.create(nnodes, ndims, dims=integer(ndims))

Arguments

nnodes	Number of nodes in a cluster
ndims	Number of dimension in a Cartesian topology
dims	Initial dimension numbers

Details

The entries in the return value are set to describe a Cartesian grid with ndims dimensions and a total of nnodes nodes. The dimensions are set to be as close to each other as possible, using an appropriate divisibility algorithm. The return value can be constrained by specifying positive number(s) in dims. Only those 0 values in dims are modified by mpi.dims.create.

Value

mpi.dims.create returns the dimension vector used by that in mpi.cart.create.

Examples

#What is the dim numbers of 2 dim Cartersian topology under a grid of 36 nodes
#mpi.dims.create(36,2)	#return c(6,6)

#Constrained dim numbers
#mpi.dims.create(12,2,c(0,4)) #return c(9,4)
