PetscSFCreate#
create a star forest communication context
Synopsis#
#include "petscsf.h"
PetscErrorCode PetscSFCreate(MPI_Comm comm, PetscSF *sf)
Collective
Input Parameter#
comm - communicator on which the star forest will operate
Output Parameter#
sf - new star forest context
Options Database Key#
-sf_type basic - Use MPI persistent Isend/Irecv for communication (Default)
-sf_type window - Use MPI-3 one-sided window for communication
-sf_type neighbor - Use MPI-3 neighborhood collectives for communication
-sf_neighbor_persistent
- If true, use MPI-4 persistent neighborhood collectives for communication (used along with -sf_type neighbor)
Note#
When one knows the communication graph is one of the predefined graph, such as MPI_Alltoall()
, MPI_Allgatherv()
,
MPI_Gatherv()
, one can create a PetscSF
and then set its graph with PetscSFSetGraphWithPattern()
. These special
SF
s are optimized and they have better performance than the general SF
s.
