  5. Syntax of MPI_Gatherv int MPI_Gatherv ( void *sendbuf, int sendcnt, MPI_Datatype sendtype, void *recvbuf, int *recvcnts, int *displs, MPI_Datatype recvtype, int root, MPI_Comm comm )

  6. Input Parameters • sendbuf starting address of send buffer (choice) • sendcount number of elements in send buffer (integer) • sendtype data type of send buffer elements (handle) • recvcounts integer array (of length group size) containing the number of elements that are received from each process (significant only at root) • displs integer array (of length group size). Entry i specifies the displacement relative to recvbuf at which to place the incoming data from process i (significant only at root) • recvtype data type of recv buffer elements (significant only at root) (handle) • root rank of receiving process (integer) • comm communicator (handle)

  7. Output Parameter • recvbuf address of receive buffer (choice, significant only at root)

  8. Notes • Node specified by the “root” parameter determines which node does the actual “gathering” • The “displs” parameter dictates the displacement from the recvbuf where the first item being sent from process i will be stored • Otherwise, MPI_Gatherv operates as a combination of MPI_Send and MPI_Recv with the capability of receiving different amounts of data from each process

  9. When to use Gatherv • MPI_Gatherv is used for when data is in varying lengths and in any order. • Memory does not have to be in any type of order on the root machine. • The root can receive information in any order.

  10. When to use Gatherv • Gatherv could be used if you are searching for all nodes of an array that have a characteristic and you want an array of nodes returned. • Gatherv could have been used in the UNO demonstration if you not only wanted the count of cards that were a color, you actually wanted the card returned.

  11. When to use Gatherv • Gatherv is used to get information that might not be in order or in the same size. • If data length that is sent back in size Gatherv should be used.

  12. #include <stdio.h>#include <mpi.h> main(int argc, char **argv) {int node, size;int send_buffer[6];int recv_buffer[6];int i, j;int rcnt[4] = {0, 1, 2, 3};int displs[4] = {0, 0, 1, 3};    MPI_Init(&argc,&argv);MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &node);MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);    for(i = 0; i< node; i++)  send_buffer[i] = node;    MPI_Gatherv(send_buffer, node, MPI_INT, recv_buffer, rcnt, displs,                MPI_INT, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);    if(node ==0){   for(i = 0; i<6; i++)      printf("[%d]", recv_buffer[i]);     printf("\n");    fflush(stdout);}    MPI_Finalize();  }
