mpi.gather.Robj

Extentions of MPI\_Gather and MPI\_Allgather APIs


Description

mpi.gather.Robj gathers each member's object to the member specified by the argument root. The root member receives the objects as a list. mpi.allgather.Robj is the same as mpi.gather.Robj except that all members receive the result instead of just the root.

Usage

mpi.gather.Robj(obj=NULL, root = 0, comm = 1, ...)

mpi.allgather.Robj(obj=NULL, comm = 1)

Arguments

obj

data to be gathered. Could be different type.

root

rank of the gather

comm

a communicator number

...

optional arugments to sapply.

Details

Since sapply is used to gather all results, its default option "simplify=TRUE" is to simplify outputs. In some situations, this option is not desirable. Using "simplify=FALSE" as in the place of ... will tell sapply not to simplify and a list of outputs will be returned.

Value

For mpi.gather.Robj, it returns a list, the gathered message for the root member. For mpi.allgatherv.Robj, it returns a list, the gathered message for all members.
