60 An MPI program can <em>deadlock</em> if one process is waiting for a
|
|
d@0
|
61 message from another process that never gets sent. To avoid deadlocks
|
|
d@0
|
62 when using FFTW's MPI routines, it is important to know which
|
|
d@0
|
63 functions are <em>collective</em>: that is, which functions must
|
|
d@0
|
64 <em>always</em> be called in the <em>same order</em> from <em>every</em>
|
|
d@0
|
65 process in a given communicator. (For example, <code>MPI_Barrier</code> is
|
|
d@0
|
66 the canonical example of a collective function in the MPI standard.)

|
|
d@0
|
68 The functions in FFTW that are <em>always</em> collective are: every
|
|
d@0
|
69 function beginning with `<samp><span class="samp">fftw_mpi_plan</span></samp>', as well as
|
|
d@0
|
70 <code>fftw_mpi_broadcast_wisdom</code> and <code>fftw_mpi_gather_wisdom</code>.
|
|
d@0
|
71 Also, the following functions from the ordinary FFTW interface are
|
|
d@0
|
72 collective when they are applied to a plan created by an
|
|
d@0
|
73 `<samp><span class="samp">fftw_mpi_plan</span></samp>' function: <code>fftw_execute</code>,
|
|
d@0
|
74 <code>fftw_destroy_plan</code>, and <code>fftw_flops</code>.
