|
82 <p>An MPI program can <em>deadlock</em> if one process is waiting for a
|
Chris@42
|
83 message from another process that never gets sent. To avoid deadlocks
|
Chris@42
|
84 when using FFTW’s MPI routines, it is important to know which
|
Chris@42
|
85 functions are <em>collective</em>: that is, which functions must
|
Chris@42
|
86 <em>always</em> be called in the <em>same order</em> from <em>every</em>
|
Chris@42
|
87 process in a given communicator. (For example, <code>MPI_Barrier</code> is
|
Chris@42
|
88 the canonical example of a collective function in the MPI standard.)

|
Chris@42
|
91 </p>
|
Chris@42
|
92
|
Chris@42
|
93 <p>The functions in FFTW that are <em>always</em> collective are: every
|
Chris@42
|
94 function beginning with ‘<samp>fftw_mpi_plan</samp>’, as well as
|
Chris@42
|
95 <code>fftw_mpi_broadcast_wisdom</code> and <code>fftw_mpi_gather_wisdom</code>.
|
Chris@42
|
96 Also, the following functions from the ordinary FFTW interface are
|
Chris@42
|
97 collective when they are applied to a plan created by an
|
Chris@42
|
98 ‘<samp>fftw_mpi_plan</samp>’ function: <code>fftw_execute</code>,
|
Chris@42
|
99 <code>fftw_destroy_plan</code>, and <code>fftw_flops</code>.
