17.2.443.1. SYNTAX

17.2.443.1.1. C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>

int MPI_Win_flush_local (int rank, MPI_Win win)

int MPI_Win_flush_local_all (MPI_Win win)

17.2.443.1.2. Fortran Syntax

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_WIN_FLUSH_LOCAL(RANK, WIN, IERROR)
     INTEGER RANK, WIN, IERROR

MPI_WIN_FLUSH_LOCAL_ALL(WIN, IERROR)
     INTEGER WIN, IERROR

17.2.443.1.3. Fortran 2008 Syntax

USE mpi_f08
MPI_Win_flush_local(rank, win, ierror)
     INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: rank
     TYPE(MPI_Win), INTENT(IN) :: win
     INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

MPI_Win_flush_local_all(win, ierror)
     TYPE(MPI_Win), INTENT(IN) :: win
     INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

17.2.443.2. INPUT PARAMETERS

  • rank: Rank of window (nonnegative integer).

  • win: Window object (handle).

17.2.443.3. OUTPUT PARAMETER

  • ierror: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

17.2.443.4. DESCRIPTION

MPI_Win_flush_local locally completes at the origin all outstanding RMA operations initiated by the calling process to the target process specified by rank on the specified window. For example, after this routine completes, the user may reuse any buffers provided to put, get, or accumulate operations. MPI_Win_flush_local_all locally completes at the origin all outstanding RMA operations to all targets.

Can only be called from within a passive target epoch.

17.2.443.5. ERRORS

Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the return result of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.

Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler associated with the communication object (e.g., communicator, window, file) is called. If no communication object is associated with the MPI call, then the call is considered attached to MPI_COMM_SELF and will call the associated MPI error handler. When MPI_COMM_SELF is not initialized (i.e., before MPI_Init/MPI_Init_thread, after MPI_Finalize, or when using the Sessions Model exclusively) the error raises the initial error handler. The initial error handler can be changed by calling MPI_Comm_set_errhandler on MPI_COMM_SELF when using the World model, or the mpi_initial_errhandler CLI argument to mpiexec or info key to MPI_Comm_spawn/MPI_Comm_spawn_multiple. If no other appropriate error handler has been set, then the MPI_ERRORS_RETURN error handler is called for MPI I/O functions and the MPI_ERRORS_ABORT error handler is called for all other MPI functions.

Open MPI includes three predefined error handlers that can be used:

  • MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL Causes the program to abort all connected MPI processes.

  • MPI_ERRORS_ABORT An error handler that can be invoked on a communicator, window, file, or session. When called on a communicator, it acts as if MPI_Abort was called on that communicator. If called on a window or file, acts as if MPI_Abort was called on a communicator containing the group of processes in the corresponding window or file. If called on a session, aborts only the local process.

  • MPI_ERRORS_RETURN Returns an error code to the application.

MPI applications can also implement their own error handlers by calling:

Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.

See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.

See the Error Handling section of the MPI-3.1 standard for more information.
