Global Print and Cat Functions

Description

The functions globally print or cat a variable from specified processors, by default messages is shown on screen.

Usage

comm.print(x, all.rank = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$print.all.rank,
           rank.print = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$rank.source,
           comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm,
           quiet = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$print.quiet,
           flush = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$msg.flush,
           barrier = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$msg.barrier,
           con = stdout(), ...)

comm.cat(..., all.rank = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$print.all.rank,
         rank.print = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$rank.source,
         comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm,
         quiet = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$print.quiet, sep = " ", fill = FALSE,
         labels = NULL, append = FALSE, flush = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$msg.flush,
         barrier = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$msg.barrier, con = stdout())

Arguments

`x`	a variable to be printed.
`...`	variables to be cat.
`all.rank`	if all ranks print (default = FALSE).
`rank.print`	rank for printing if not all ranks print (default = 0).
`comm`	communicator for printing (default = 1).
`quiet`	FALSE for printing rank number.
`sep`	sep argument as in the `cat()` function.
`fill`	fill argument as in the `cat()` function.
`labels`	labels argument as in the `cat()` function.
`append`	labels argument as in the `cat()` function.
`flush`	if flush `con`.
`barrier`	if barrier `con`.
`con`	`stdout()` is the default to print message.

Details

Warning: These two functions use barrier() to make sure the well printing process on screen, so should be called by all processors to avoid a deadlock. A typical misuse is called inside a condition check, such as if(.comm.rank == 0) comm.cat(...).

rank.print can be a integer vector containing the ranks of processors which print messages.

Value

A print() or cat() is called for the specified processors and the messages of the input variables is shown on screen by default.

Examples

## Not run: 
### Save code in a file "demo.r" and run with 2 processors by
### SHELL> mpiexec -np 2 Rscript demo.r

spmd.code <- "
### Initialize
suppressMessages(library(pbdMPI, quietly = TRUE))

### Example.
comm.print(comm.rank(), rank.print = 1)

### Finish.
finalize()
"
# execmpi(spmd.code, nranks = 2L)

## End(Not run)
