Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Kinds of Communication Blocking and Nonblocking Communications
3
Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Kinds of Communication Blocking Sender does not return from an MPI call until the message buffer (the user ’ s container for the message) can be reused. i.e. the message has been sent Receiver does not return until the receiving message buffer contains all of the message
4
Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Kinds of Communication Non-blocking Sender call returns after nonblocking send start call initiates the send operation. A separate send complete call is needed to complete the communication, i.e., to verify that the data has been copied out of the send buffer Receiver call returns after nonblocking receive start call initiates the receive operation. A separate receive complete call is needed to complete the receive operation and verify that the data has been received into the receive buffer. Other MPI procedures test or wait for the completion of sends and receives

6
Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Communication Modes Modes are determined by the name of the MPI SEND procedure used e.g. MPI_BSEND specifies a buffered send Standard (no letter) up to MPI to decide whether outgoing messages will be buffered MPI may buffer outgoing messages the send call may complete before a matching receive is invoked. MPI may choose not to buffer outgoing messages, for performance reasons the send call will not complete until a matching receive has been posted Non-local operation – another process may have ‘ to do something ’ before this operation completes, e.g. successful completion of the send operation may depend on the occurrence of a matching receive.
7
Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Communication Modes Buffered (B letter) It can be started whether or not a matching receive has been posted and it may complete before a matching receive is posted Therefore MPI must buffer the outgoing message, so as to allow the send call to complete Local operation – another process does not have to do anything before this operation completes, e.g. buffered mode send operation may complete before a matching receive is posted
8
Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Communication Modes Synchronous (S letter) It can be started whether or not a matching receive was posted Complete successfully only if a matching receive is posted, and the receive operation has started to receive the message Thus, the completion of a synchronous send not only indicates that the send buffer can be reused, but also indicates that the receiver has reached a certain point in its execution Non-local operation
9
Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Communication Modes Ready (R letter) Sender starts only if the matching receive has been posted Otherwise, the operation is erroneous and its outcome is undefined The completion of the send operation does not depend on the status of a matching receive, and merely indicates that the send buffer can be reused Non-local operation
10
Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Communication Modes A possible communication protocol for the various communication modes is outlined below. ready send: The message is sent as soon as possible. synchronous send: The sender sends a request- to-send message. The receiver stores this request. When a matching receive is posted, the receiver sends back a permission-to-send message, and the sender now sends the message. standard send: First protocol may be used for short messages, and second protocol for long messages. buffered send: The sender copies the message into a buffer and then sends it with a nonblocking send (using the same protocol as for standard send).

Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Nonblocking Send and Receive A nonblocking send call indicates that the system may start copying data out of the send buffer. The sender should not access any part of the send buffer after a nonblocking send operation is called, until the send completes. A nonblocking receive call indicates that the system may start writing data into the receive buffer. The receiver should not access any part of the receive buffer after a nonblocking receive operation is called, until the receive completes.

Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Nonblocking Functions – MPI_WAIT Blocking call that completes the MPI_Isend() or MPI_Irecv() call This call will make your process hang until the operation identified by the request is complete. To follow MPI_Isend immediately with MPI_Wait is the same as to call MPI_Send. But splitting the latter into the former lets you do a number of other things between the calls to MPI_Isend and MPI_Wait.
65
Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Nonblocking Functions – MPI_WAIT C int MPI_Wait(request, status) MPI_Request *request; MPI_Status *status Input/Output Parameter request: request (handle) Output Parameter status: status object (Status) Fortran MPI_WAIT(REQUEST, STATUS, IERROR) INTEGER REQUEST, STATUS(MPI_STATUS_SIZE), IERROR
66
Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Nonblocking Functions – MPI_TEST Nonblocking call that tests for completion of an MPI_Isend() or MPI_Irecv() call. Unlike MPI_Wait this call doesn't hang waiting for the communication request to get completed. It returns right away with flag = true if the operation is complete and the value of request is set to MPI_REQUEST_NULL. Otherwise flag = false and the value of request remains unchanged. Most commonly you are likely to use MPI_Test in a loop: checking if the communication has completed, then doing something else, then checking again, and so on.

MPI_IPROBE behaves like MPI_PROBE except that it is a nonblocking call C int MPI_Iprobe(int source, int tag, MPI_Comm comm, int *flag, MPI_Status *status) Input Parameters source: source rank, or MPI_ANY_SOURCE (integer) tag: tag value or MPI_ANY_TAG (integer) comm: communicator (handle) Output Parameters Flag: (logical) status: status object (Status) Fortran MPI_IPROBE(SOURCE, TAG, COMM, FLAG, STATUS, IERROR) LOGICAL FLAG INTEGER SOURCE, TAG, COMM, STATUS(MPI_STATUS_SIZE), IERROR

Please visit our web site: http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/tdgc Reasons for Work and Deadlock #The program was tested in LAM 6.5.9 In standard mode, it is up to MPI to decide whether outgoing messages will be buffered. MPI may buffer outgoing messages (< 2048). In such a case, the send call may complete before a matching receive is invoked. On the other hand (> 2048), buffer space may be unavailable, or MPI may choose not to buffer outgoing messages, for performance reasons. In this case, the send call will not complete until a matching receive has been posted, and the data has been moved to the receiver.
