Global Base Functions

Description

These functions are global base functions applying on distributed data for all ranks.

Usage

comm.length(x, comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm)
comm.sum(..., na.rm = TRUE, comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm)
comm.mean(x, na.rm = TRUE, comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm)
comm.var(x, na.rm = TRUE, comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm)
comm.sd(x, na.rm = TRUE, comm = .pbd_env$SPMD.CT$comm)

Arguments

Details

These functions will apply globally length(), sum(), mean(), var(), and sd().

Value

The global values are returned to all ranks.

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()
if(comm.size() != 2){
  comm.cat("2 processors are requried.\n", quiet = TRUE)
  finalize()
}

### Examples.
a <- 1:(comm.rank() + 1)

b <- comm.length(a)
comm.print(b)
b <- comm.sum(a)
comm.print(b)
b <- comm.mean(a)
comm.print(b)
b <- comm.var(a)
comm.print(b)
b <- comm.sd(a)
comm.print(b)

### Finish.
finalize()

## End(Not run)
