NAME

MPI_Cart_rank - Determines process rank in communicator given Cartesian location

SYNOPSIS

int MPI_Cart_rank(MPI_Comm comm, const int coords[], int *rank)

INPUT PARAMETERS

comm

- communicator with cartesian structure (handle)

coords

- integer array (of size ndims , the number of dimensions of the Cartesian topology associated with comm ) specifying the cartesian coordinates of a process

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

rank

- rank of specified process (integer)

NOTES

Out-of-range coordinates are erroneous for non-periodic dimensions. Versions of MPICH before 1.2.2 returned MPI_PROC_NULL for the rank in this case.

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

This routine is both thread- and interrupt-safe. This means that this routine may safely be used by multiple threads and from within a signal handler.

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call statement.

All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

ERRORS

All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

MPI_SUCCESS

- No error; MPI routine completed successfully.

MPI_ERR_TOPOLOGY

- Invalid topology. Either there is no topology associated with this communicator, or it is not the correct type (e.g., MPI_CART when expecting MPI_GRAPH ).

MPI_ERR_RANK

- Invalid source or destination rank. Ranks must be between zero and the size of the communicator minus one; ranks in a receive ( MPI_Recv , MPI_Irecv , MPI_Sendrecv , etc.) may also be MPI_ANY_SOURCE .

MPI_ERR_ARG

- Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).
