MPI_Waitsome(3OpenMPI)                                                                MPI_Waitsome(3OpenMPI)



NAME
       MPI_Waitsome - Waits for some given communications to complete.


SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Waitsome(int incount, MPI_Request *array_of_requests,
            int *outcount, int *array_of_indices,
            MPI_Status *array_of_statuses)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_WAITSOME(INCOUNT, ARRAY_OF_REQUESTS, OUTCOUNT,
                 ARRAY_OF_INDICES, ARRAY_OF_STATUSES, IERROR)
            INTEGER   INCOUNT, ARRAY_OF_REQUESTS(*), OUTCOUNT
            INTEGER   ARRAY_OF_INDICES(*)
            INTEGER   ARRAY_OF_STATUSES(MPI_STATUS_SIZE*)
            INTEGER   IERROR


C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       static int Request::Waitsome(int incount, Request
            array_of_requests[], int array_of_indices[], Status array_of_statuses[])

       static int Request::Waitsome(int incount, Request
            array_of_requests[], int array_of_indices[])


INPUT PARAMETERS
       incount   Length of array_of_requests (integer).

       array_of_requests
                 Array of requests (array of handles).


OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       outcount  Number of completed requests (integer).

       array_of_indices
                 Array of indices of operations that completed (array of integers).

       array_of_statuses
                 Array of status objects for operations that completed (array of status).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).


DESCRIPTION
       Waits until at least one of the operations associated with active handles in the list have completed.
       Returns in outcount the number of requests from  the  list  array_of_requests  that  have  completed.
       Returns in the first outcount locations of the array array_of_indices the indices of these operations
       (index within the array array_of_requests; the array is indexed from 0 in C and from 1  in  Fortran).
       Returns  in  the first outcount locations of the array array_of_status the status for these completed
       operations. If a request that completed was allocated by a nonblocking communication call, then it is
       deallocated, and the associated handle is set to MPI_REQUEST_NULL.

       If  the  list contains no active handles, then the call returns immediately with outcount = MPI_UNDE-FINED. MPI_UNDEFINED.
       FINED.

       When one or more of the communications completed by MPI_Waitsome  fails,  then  it  is  desirable  to
       return  specific  information  on  each  communication. The arguments outcount, array_of_indices, and
       array_of_statuses will be adjusted to indicate completion of all communications that  have  succeeded
       or  failed.  The call will return the error code MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS and the error field of each status
       returned will be set to indicate success or to indicate the specific error that  occurred.  The  call
       will  return MPI_SUCCESS if no request resulted in an error, and will return another error code if it
       failed for other reasons (such as invalid arguments). In such cases, it will  not  update  the  error
       fields of the statuses.

       If  your  application does not need to examine the array_of_statuses field, you can save resources by
       using  the  predefined  constant  MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE  can  be  used  as  a  special  value  for  the
       array_of_statuses argument.

       Example: Same code as the example in the MPI_Waitany man page, but using MPI_Waitsome.

           CALL MPI_COMM_SIZE(comm, size, ierr)
           CALL MPI_COMM_RANK(comm, rank, ierr)
           IF(rank .GT. 0) THEN         ! client code
               DO WHILE(.TRUE.)
                  CALL MPI_ISEND(a, n, MPI_REAL, 0, tag, comm, request, ierr)
                  CALL MPI_WAIT(request, status, ierr)
               END DO
           ELSE         ! rank=0 -- server code
               DO i=1, size-1
                  CALL MPI_IRECV(a(1,i), n, MPI_REAL, i, tag,
                                 comm, requests(i), ierr)
               END DO
               DO WHILE(.TRUE.)
                  CALL MPI_WAITSOME(size, request_list, numdone,
                                   indices, statuses, ierr)
                  DO i=1, numdone
                     CALL DO_SERVICE(a(1, indices(i)))
                     CALL MPI_IRECV(a(1, indices(i)), n, MPI_REAL, 0, tag,
                                  comm, requests(indices(i)), ierr)
                  END DO
               END DO
           END IF


NOTES
       The array of indices are in the range 0 to incount-1 for C and in the range 1 to incount for Fortran.


ERRORS
       For each invocation of MPI_Waitsome, if one or more requests generate  an  MPI  exception,  only  the
       first  MPI  request  that  caused an exception will be passed to its corresponding error handler.  No
       other error handlers will be invoked (even if multiple requests generated exceptions).  However,  all
       requests  that  generate  an  exception will have a relevant error code set in the corresponding sta-tus.MPI_ERROR status.MPI_ERROR
       tus.MPI_ERROR field (unless MPI_IGNORE_STATUSES was used).

       The default error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error  handler  may
       be  changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler, MPI_File_set_errhandler, or MPI_Win_set_errhandler (depend-ing (depending
       ing on the type of MPI  handle  that  generated  the  MPI  request);  the  predefined  error  handler
       MPI_ERRORS_RETURN  may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee
       that an MPI program can continue past an error.

       If the invoked error handler allows MPI_Waitsome to return to the caller, the value MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS
       will  be  returned  in  the  C  and  Fortran  bindings.   In  C++,  if  the  predefined error handler
       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS  is  used,  the  value  MPI::ERR_IN_STATUS  will  be  contained  in  the
       MPI::Exception object.  The MPI_ERROR field can then be examined in the array of returned statuses to
       determine exactly which request(s) generated an exception.
