NAME
MPI_Comm_size - Returns the size of the group associated with a communicator. SYNTAX
C Syntax #include <mpi.h> int MPI_Comm_size(MPI_Comm comm, int *size) Fortran Syntax INCLUDE 'mpif.h' MPI_COMM_SIZE(COMM, SIZE, IERROR) INTEGER COMM, SIZE, IERROR C++ Syntax #include <mpi.h> int Comm::Get_size() const INPUT PARAMETER
comm Communicator (handle). OUTPUT PARAMETERS
size Number of processes in the group of comm (integer). IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer). DESCRIPTION
This function indicates the number of processes involved in a communicator. For MPI_COMM_WORLD, it indicates the total number of processes available. This function is equivalent to accessing the communicator's group with MPI_Comm_group, computing the size using MPI_Group_size, and then freeing the temporary group via MPI_Group_free. If the communicator is an intra-communicator (enables communication between two groups), this function returns the size of the local group. To return the size of the remote group, use the MPI_Comm_remote_size function. This call is often used with MPI_Comm_rank to determine the amount of concurrency available for a specific library or program. MPI_Comm_rank indicates the rank of the process that calls it in the range from 0 . . . size-1, where size is the return value of MPI_Comm_size. NOTE
MPI_COMM_NULL is not considered a valid argument to this function. 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++ func- tions 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. SEE ALSO

NAME
MPI_Errhandler_set - Sets the error handler for a communicator -- use of this routine is deprecated. SYNTAX
C Syntax #include <mpi.h> int MPI_Errhandler_set(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Errhandler errhandler) Fortran Syntax INCLUDE 'mpif.h' MPI_ERRHANDLER_SET(COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR) INTEGER COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR INPUT PARAMETERS
comm Communicator to set the error handler for (handle). errhandler New MPI error handler for communicator (handle). OUTPUT PARAMETER
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer). DESCRIPTION
Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please use MPI_Comm_set_errhandler instead. This deprecated routine is not available in C++. Associates the new error handler errhandler with communicator comm at the calling process. Note that an error handler is always associated with the communicator. ERRORS
