A namespace for utility functions that abstract certain operations using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) or provide fallback operations in case deal.II is configured not to use MPI at all.
unsigned int Utilities::MPI::n_mpi_processes | ( | const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator | ) |
Return the number of MPI processes there exist in the given communicator object. If this is a sequential job (i.e., the program is not using MPI at all, or is using MPI but has been started with only one MPI process), then the communicator necessarily involves only one process and the function returns 1.
unsigned int Utilities::MPI::this_mpi_process | ( | const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator | ) |
Return the rank of the present MPI process in the space of processes described by the given communicator. This will be a unique value for each process between zero and (less than) the number of all processes (given by get_n_mpi_processes()).
std::vector< unsigned int > Utilities::MPI::compute_point_to_point_communication_pattern | ( | const MPI_Comm & | mpi_comm, |
const std::vector< unsigned int > & | destinations | ||
) |
Consider an unstructured communication pattern where every process in an MPI universe wants to send some data to a subset of the other processors. To do that, the other processors need to know who to expect messages from. This function computes this information.
mpi_comm | A communicator that describes the processors that are going to communicate with each other. |
destinations | The list of processors the current process wants to send information to. This list need not be sorted in any way. If it contains duplicate entries that means that multiple messages are intended for a given destination. |
unsigned int Utilities::MPI::compute_n_point_to_point_communications | ( | const MPI_Comm & | mpi_comm, |
const std::vector< unsigned int > & | destinations | ||
) |
Simplified (for efficiency) version of the compute_point_to_point_communication_pattern() which only computes the number of processes in an MPI universe to expect communication from.
mpi_comm | A communicator that describes the processors that are going to communicate with each other. |
destinations | The list of processors the current process wants to send information to. This list need not be sorted in any way. If it contains duplicate entries that means that multiple messages are intended for a given destination. |
MPI_Comm Utilities::MPI::duplicate_communicator | ( | const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator | ) |
Given a communicator, generate a new communicator that contains the same set of processors but that has a different, unique identifier.
This functionality can be used to ensure that different objects, such as distributed matrices, each have unique communicators over which they can interact without interfering with each other.
When no longer needed, the communicator created here needs to be destroyed using MPI_Comm_free
.
int Utilities::MPI::create_group | ( | const MPI_Comm & | comm, |
const MPI_Group & | group, | ||
const int | tag, | ||
MPI_Comm * | new_comm | ||
) |
If comm
is an intracommunicator, this function returns a new communicator newcomm
with communication group defined by the group
argument. The function is only collective over the group of processes that actually want to create the communicator, i.e., that are named in the group
argument. If multiple threads at a given process perform concurrent create_group() operations, the user must distinguish these operations by providing different tag
or comm
arguments.
This function was introduced in the MPI-3.0 standard. If available, the corresponding function in the provided MPI implementation is used. Otherwise, the implementation follows the one described in the following publication:
std::vector< IndexSet > Utilities::MPI::create_ascending_partitioning | ( | const MPI_Comm & | comm, |
const IndexSet::size_type & | local_size | ||
) |
Given the number of locally owned elements local_size
, create a 1:1 partitioning of the of elements across the MPI communicator comm
. The total size of elements is the sum of local_size
across the MPI communicator. Each process will store contiguous subset of indices, and the index set on process p+1 starts at the index one larger than the last one stored on process p.
std::pair<Number, typename numbers::NumberTraits<Number>::real_type> Utilities::MPI::mean_and_standard_deviation | ( | const Iterator | begin, |
const Iterator | end, | ||
const MPI_Comm & | comm | ||
) |
Calculate mean and standard deviation across the MPI communicator comm
for values provided as a range [begin,end)
. The mean is computed as \(\bar x=\frac 1N \sum x_k\) where the \(x_k\) are the elements pointed to by the begin
and end
iterators on all processors (i.e., each processor's [begin,end)
range points to a subset of the overall number of elements). The standard deviation is calculated as \(\sigma=\sqrt{\frac {1}{N-1} \sum |x_k -\bar x|^2}\), which is known as unbiased sample variance.
Number | specifies the type to store the mean value. The standard deviation is stored as the corresponding real type. This allows, for example, to calculate statistics from integer input values. |
T Utilities::MPI::sum | ( | const T & | t, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator | ||
) |
Return the sum over all processors of the value t
. This function is collective over all processors given in the communicator. If deal.II is not configured for use of MPI, this function simply returns the value of t
. This function corresponds to the MPI_Allreduce
function, i.e. all processors receive the result of this operation.
MPI_Reduce
function instead of the MPI_Allreduce
function. The latter is at most twice as expensive, so if you are concerned about performance, it may be worthwhile investigating whether your algorithm indeed needs the result everywhere.T
, namely float, double, int, unsigned int
. void Utilities::MPI::sum | ( | const T & | values, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator, | ||
U & | sums | ||
) |
Like the previous function, but take the sums over the elements of an array of type T. In other words, the i-th element of the results array is the sum over the i-th entries of the input arrays from each processor. T and U must decay to the same type, e.g. they just differ by one of them having a const type qualifier and the other not.
Input and output arrays may be the same.
void Utilities::MPI::sum | ( | const ArrayView< const T > & | values, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator, | ||
const ArrayView< T > & | sums | ||
) |
Like the previous function, but take the sums over the elements of an array as specified by the ArrayView arguments. In other words, the i-th element of the results array is the sum over the i-th entries of the input arrays from each processor.
Input and output arrays may be the same.
SymmetricTensor< rank, dim, Number > Utilities::MPI::sum | ( | const SymmetricTensor< rank, dim, Number > & | local, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator | ||
) |
Perform an MPI sum of the entries of a symmetric tensor.
Tensor< rank, dim, Number > Utilities::MPI::sum | ( | const Tensor< rank, dim, Number > & | local, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator | ||
) |
Perform an MPI sum of the entries of a tensor.
void Utilities::MPI::sum | ( | const SparseMatrix< Number > & | local, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator, | ||
SparseMatrix< Number > & | global | ||
) |
Perform an MPI sum of the entries of a SparseMatrix.
local
and global
should have the same sparsity pattern and it should be the same for all MPI processes. T Utilities::MPI::max | ( | const T & | t, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator | ||
) |
Return the maximum over all processors of the value t
. This function is collective over all processors given in the communicator. If deal.II is not configured for use of MPI, this function simply returns the value of t
. This function corresponds to the MPI_Allreduce
function, i.e. all processors receive the result of this operation.
MPI_Reduce
function instead of the MPI_Allreduce
function. The latter is at most twice as expensive, so if you are concerned about performance, it may be worthwhile investigating whether your algorithm indeed needs the result everywhere.T
, namely float, double, int, unsigned int
. void Utilities::MPI::max | ( | const T & | values, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator, | ||
U & | maxima | ||
) |
Like the previous function, but take the maximum over the elements of an array of type T. In other words, the i-th element of the results array is the maximum over the i-th entries of the input arrays from each processor. T and U must decay to the same type, e.g. they just differ by one of them having a const type qualifier and the other not.
Input and output vectors may be the same.
void Utilities::MPI::max | ( | const ArrayView< const T > & | values, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator, | ||
const ArrayView< T > & | maxima | ||
) |
Like the previous function, but take the maximum over the elements of an array as specified by the ArrayView arguments. In other words, the i-th element of the results array is the maximum over the i-th entries of the input arrays from each processor.
Input and output arrays may be the same.
T Utilities::MPI::min | ( | const T & | t, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator | ||
) |
Return the minimum over all processors of the value t
. This function is collective over all processors given in the communicator. If deal.II is not configured for use of MPI, this function simply returns the value of t
. This function corresponds to the MPI_Allreduce
function, i.e. all processors receive the result of this operation.
MPI_Reduce
function instead of the MPI_Allreduce
function. The latter is at most twice as expensive, so if you are concerned about performance, it may be worthwhile investigating whether your algorithm indeed needs the result everywhere.T
, namely float, double, int, unsigned int
. void Utilities::MPI::min | ( | const T & | values, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator, | ||
U & | minima | ||
) |
Like the previous function, but take the minima over the elements of an array of type T. In other words, the i-th element of the results array is the minimum of the i-th entries of the input arrays from each processor. T and U must decay to the same type, e.g. they just differ by one of them having a const type qualifier and the other not.
Input and output arrays may be the same.
void Utilities::MPI::min | ( | const ArrayView< const T > & | values, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator, | ||
const ArrayView< T > & | minima | ||
) |
Like the previous function, but take the minimum over the elements of an array as specified by the ArrayView arguments. In other words, the i-th element of the results array is the minimum over the i-th entries of the input arrays from each processor.
Input and output arrays may be the same.
MinMaxAvg Utilities::MPI::min_max_avg | ( | const double | my_value, |
const MPI_Comm & | mpi_communicator | ||
) |
Return sum, average, minimum, maximum, processor id of minimum and maximum as a collective operation of on the given MPI communicator mpi_communicator
. Each processor's value is given in my_value
and the result will be returned. The result is available on all machines.
MPI_Reduce
function instead of the MPI_Allreduce
function. The latter is at most twice as expensive, so if you are concerned about performance, it may be worthwhile investigating whether your algorithm indeed needs the result everywhere. bool Utilities::MPI::job_supports_mpi | ( | ) |
Return whether (i) deal.II has been compiled to support MPI (for example by compiling with CXX=mpiCC
) and if so whether (ii) MPI_Init()
has been called (for example using the Utilities::MPI::MPI_InitFinalize class). In other words, the result indicates whether the current job is running under MPI.

const std::map< unsigned int, T > & | objects_to_send | ||
) |
Initiate a some-to-some communication, and exchange arbitrary objects (the class T should be serializable using boost::serialize) between processors.
[in] | comm | MPI communicator. |
[in] | objects_to_send | A map from the rank (unsigned int) of the process meant to receive the data and the object to send (the type T must be serializable for this function to work properly). |
std::vector<T> Utilities::MPI::all_gather | ( | const MPI_Comm & | comm, |
const T & | object_to_send | ||
) |
A generalization of the classic MPI_Allgather function, that accepts arbitrary data types T, as long as boost::serialize accepts T as an argument.

A generalization of the classic MPI_Gather function, that accepts arbitrary data types T, as long as boost::serialize accepts T as an argument.
[in] | comm | MPI communicator. |
[in] | object_to_send | an object to send to the root process |
[in] | root_process | The process, which receives the objects from all processes. By default the process with rank 0 is the root process. |
root_process
receives a vector of objects, with size equal to the number of processes in the MPI communicator. Each entry contains the object received from the processor with the corresponding rank within the communicator. All other processes receive an empty vector.
