NAME

disarray - distributed container (rheolef-7.2)

DESCRIPTION

This class provides a std::vector like container for a distributed memory model array.

The disarray interface is similar to those of the std::vector with the addition of some communication features for a distributed memory model.

EXAMPLE

    int main (int argc, char**argv) {


      environment distributed(argc, argv);


      distributor ownership (100);


      disarray<double> x (ownership, 3.14);


      dout << x << endl;


    }

NOTATION

There are two kind of indexes:

dis_i

i

Read and write accessors to the subset of the array that is owned by the current process are still denoted by square brackets, e.g. value = x[i] and x[i] = value, respectively.

Read and write accessors to the complete array, including array subsets that are owned by some others processors, are introduced with the help of new member functions:

x.dis_entry(dis_i) = value

value = x.dis_at(dis_i)

In order to optimize communications, they should be grouped.

GROUPED WRITES

Loop on any dis_i and write your value:

    for (...) { 


      x.dis_entry (dis_i) = value;


    }

Finally, perform all communications in one pass:

    x.dis_entry_assembly();

After this command, each value is stored in x, at its right place, depending on dis_i and its ownership. Note that, when dis_i is owned by the current process, the value is directly written as x[i] = value and no communication are generated.

GROUPED READS

First, define the set of indexes that you want to access:

    std::set<size_t> dis_i_set; 

Then, loop on dis_i all these indexes and append it to this set:

    for (...) {


      dis_i_set.insert (dis_i);


    }

Next, perform communications:

    x.set_dis_indexes (dis_i_set);

After this command, each values associated to the dis_i index, and that belongs to the index set, is also available also on the current processor:

    for (...) {


      value = x.dis_at (dis_i);


    }

Note that, when dis_i is owned by the current process, the value is directly read as value = x[i] and no communication are generated.

TEMPLATE PARAMETERS

Recall that the std::class that takes two template parameters, a T one for the stored elements and a A one for the memory allocator, the present disarray class take three template parameters:

• T: the stored object type
• M: the memory model, i.e. sequential or distributed, by default default_memory_model with is defined at the configuration stage
• A: the memory allocator, by default std::allocator

CONSTRUCTOR

In the sequential case, the class interface provides a simplified constructor:

    int local_size = 100;


    disarray<double,sequential> x (local_size, init_val);

This declaration is similar to those of a std::vector one: no communications are possible. In order to enable communication, your have to replace the local_size by information on how the array is distributed in memory:

      distributor ownership (100);


      disarray<double> x (ownership, 3.14);

The distributor(4) class does this job.
