R Documentation

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 = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$rank.source,
     tag = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$tag, comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm,
     status = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$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.

Details

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

Value

An object is returned by default.

Methods

For calling spmd.recv.*():

signature(x = "ANY")
signature(x = "integer")
signature(x = "numeric")
signature(x = "raw")

Examples

## Not run: 
### 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.
finalize()

## End(Not run)
