R Documentation

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.

Details

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

Value

A NULL is returned by default.

Methods

For calling spmd.send.*():

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)
