NAME

MPI_Graph_neighbors - Returns the neighbors of a node associated with a graph topology.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Graph_neighbors(MPI_Comm comm, int rank, int maxneighbors,
        int *neighbors)

Fortran Syntax

INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_GRAPH_NEIGHBORS(COMM, RANK, MAXNEIGHBORS, NEIGHBORS, IERROR)
        INTEGER COMM, RANK, MAXNEIGHBORS, NEIGHBORS(*), IERROR

C++ Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
void Graphcomm::Get_neighbors(int rank, int maxneighbors, 
        int neighbors[]) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

comm: Communicator with graph topology (handle).
rank: Rank of process in group of comm (integer).
maxneighbors: Size of array neighbors (integer).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

neighbors: Ranks of processes that are neighbors to specified process (array of integers).
IERROR: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

Example: Suppose that comm is a communicator with a shuffle-exchange topology. The group has 2n members. Each process is labeled by a(1), ..., a(n) with a(i) E{0,1}, and has three neighbors: exchange (a(1), ..., a(n) = a(1), ..., a(n-1), a(n) (a = 1 - a), shuffle (a(1), ..., a(n)) = a(2), ..., a(n), a(1), and unshuffle (a(1), ..., a(n)) = a(n), a(1), ..., a(n-1). The graph adjacency list is illustrated below for n=3.

    1(001)          0               2               4
    2(010)          3               4               1
    3(011)          2               6               5
    4(100)          5               1               2
    5(101)          4               3               6
    6(110)          7               5               3
    7(111)          6               7               7

Suppose that the communicator comm has this topology associated with it. The following code fragment cycles through the three types of neighbors and performs an appropriate permutation for each.

C  assume: each process has stored a real number A. 
C  extract neighborhood information 
      CALL MPI_COMM_RANK(comm, myrank, ierr) 
      CALL MPI_GRAPH_NEIGHBORS(comm, myrank, 3, neighbors, ierr) 
C  perform exchange permutation 
      CALL MPI_SENDRECV_REPLACE(A, 1, MPI_REAL, neighbors(1), 0, 
     +     neighbors(1), 0, comm, status, ierr) 
C  perform shuffle permutation 
      CALL MPI_SENDRECV_REPLACE(A, 1, MPI_REAL, neighbors(2), 0, 
     +     neighbors(3), 0, comm, status, ierr) 
C  perform unshuffle permutation 
      CALL MPI_SENDRECV_REPLACE(A, 1, MPI_REAL, neighbors(3), 0, 
     +     neighbors(2), 0, comm, status, ierr)

ERRORS

Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.

Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; 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.
