Detailed Description

Application context is a primary concept of UCP design which provides an isolation mechanism, allowing resources associated with the context to separate or share network communication context across multiple instances of applications.

This section provides a detailed description of this concept and routines associated with it.

struct ucp_lib_attr

The structure defines the attributes that characterize the Library.

Data Fields
uint64_t field_mask

Mask of valid fields in this structure, using bits from ucp_lib_attr_field. Fields not specified in this mask will be ignored. Provides ABI compatibility with respect to adding new fields.

ucs_thread_mode_t max_thread_level

Maximum level of thread support of the library, which is permanent throughout the lifetime of the library. Accordingly, the user can call ucp_worker_create with appropriate ucp_worker_params_t::thread_mode. For supported thread levels please see ucs_thread_mode_t.

◆ ucp_context_attr

struct ucp_context_attr

The structure defines the attributes that characterize the particular context.

Data Fields
uint64_t field_mask

Mask of valid fields in this structure, using bits from ucp_context_attr_field. Fields not specified in this mask will be ignored. Provides ABI compatibility with respect to adding new fields.

size_t request_size

Size of UCP non-blocking request. When pre-allocated request is used (e.g. in ucp_tag_recv_nbr) it should have enough space to fit UCP request data, which is defined by this value.

ucs_thread_mode_t thread_mode

Thread safe level of the context. For supported thread levels please see ucs_thread_mode_t.

uint64_t memory_types

Mask of which memory types are supported, for supported memory types please see ucs_memory_type_t.

char name[UCP_ENTITY_NAME_MAX]

Tracing and analysis tools can use name to identify this UCX context.

◆ ucp_tag_recv_info

struct ucp_tag_recv_info

The UCP receive information descriptor is allocated by application and filled in with the information about the received message by ucp_tag_probe_nb or ucp_tag_recv_request_test routines or ucp_tag_recv_callback_t callback argument.

Examples
ucp_client_server.c, and ucp_hello_world.c.
Data Fields
ucp_tag_t sender_tag

Sender tag

size_t length

The size of the received data

◆ ucp_request_param_t

struct ucp_request_param_t

The structure ucp_request_param_t is used to specify datatype of operation, provide user request in case the external request is used, set completion callback and custom user data passed to this callback.

Example: implementation of function to send contiguous buffer to ep and invoke callback function at operation completion. If the operation completed immediately (status == UCS_OK) then callback is not called.

ucs_status_ptr_t send_data(ucp_ep_h ep, void *buffer, size_t length,
ucp_tag_t tag, void *request)
{
.request = request,
.cb.send = custom_send_callback_f,
.user_data = pointer_to_user_context_passed_to_cb
};
status = ucp_tag_send_nbx(ep, buffer, length, tag, &param);
if (UCS_PTR_IS_ERR(status)) {
handle_error(status);
} else if (status == UCS_OK) {
// operation is completed
}
return status;
}

Data Fields
uint32_t op_attr_mask

Mask of valid fields in this structure and operation flags, using bits from ucp_op_attr_t. Fields not specified in this mask will be ignored. Provides ABI compatibility with respect to adding new fields.

uint32_t flags
void * request

Request handle allocated by the user. There should be at least UCP request size bytes of available space before the request. The size of the UCP request can be obtained by ucp_context_query function.

union ucp_request_param_t.cb cb

Callback function that is invoked whenever the send or receive operation is completed.

ucp_datatype_t datatype

Datatype descriptor for the elements in the buffer. In case the op_attr_mask & UCP_OP_ATTR_FIELD_DATATYPE bit is not set, then use default datatype ucp_dt_make_contig(1)

void * user_data

Pointer to user data passed to callback function.

void * reply_buffer

Reply buffer. Can be used for storing operation result, for example by ucp_atomic_op_nbx.

ucs_memory_type_t memory_type

Memory type of the buffer. see ucs_memory_type_t for possible memory types. An optimization hint to avoid memory type detection for request buffer. If this value is not set (along with its corresponding bit in the op_attr_mask - UCP_OP_ATTR_FIELD_MEMORY_TYPE), then use default UCS_MEMORY_TYPE_UNKNOWN which means the memory type will be detected internally.

union ucp_request_param_t.recv_info recv_info

Pointer to the information where received data details are stored in case of an immediate completion of receive operation. The user has to provide a pointer to valid memory/variable which will be updated on function return.

ucp_mem_h memh

Memory handle for pre-registered buffer. If the handle is provided, protocols that require registered memory can skip the registration step. As a result, the communication request overhead can be reduced and the request can be completed faster. The memory handle should be obtained by calling ucp_mem_map.

◆ ucp_request_param_t.cb

union ucp_request_param_t.cb

Callback function that is invoked whenever the send or receive operation is completed.

Data Fields
ucp_send_nbx_callback_t send
ucp_tag_recv_nbx_callback_t recv
ucp_stream_recv_nbx_callback_t recv_stream
ucp_am_recv_data_nbx_callback_t recv_am

◆ ucp_request_param_t.recv_info

union ucp_request_param_t.recv_info

Pointer to the information where received data details are stored in case of an immediate completion of receive operation. The user has to provide a pointer to valid memory/variable which will be updated on function return.

Data Fields
size_t * length
ucp_tag_recv_info_t * tag_info

typedef struct ucp_lib_attr ucp_lib_attr_t

The structure defines the attributes that characterize the Library.

◆ ucp_context_attr_t

The structure defines the attributes that characterize the particular context.

◆ ucp_tag_recv_info_t

The UCP receive information descriptor is allocated by application and filled in with the information about the received message by ucp_tag_probe_nb or ucp_tag_recv_request_test routines or ucp_tag_recv_callback_t callback argument.

◆ ucp_context_h

typedef struct ucp_context* ucp_context_h

UCP application context (or just a context) is an opaque handle that holds a UCP communication instance's global information. It represents a single UCP communication instance. The communication instance could be an OS process (an application) that uses UCP library. This global information includes communication resources, endpoints, memory, temporary file storage, and other communication information directly associated with a specific UCP instance. The context also acts as an isolation mechanism, allowing resources associated with the context to manage multiple concurrent communication instances. For example, users using both MPI and OpenSHMEM sessions simultaneously can isolate their communication by allocating and using separate contexts for each of them. Alternatively, users can share the communication resources (memory, network resource context, etc.) between them by using the same application context. A message sent or a RMA operation performed in one application context cannot be received in any other application context.

◆ ucp_request_init_callback_t

typedef void(* ucp_request_init_callback_t) (void *request)

This callback routine is responsible for the request initialization.

Parameters
[in]requestRequest handle to initialize.

◆ ucp_request_cleanup_callback_t

typedef void(* ucp_request_cleanup_callback_t) (void *request)

This callback routine is responsible for cleanup of the memory associated with the request.

Parameters
[in]requestRequest handle to cleanup.

◆ ucp_init()

static ucs_status_t ucp_init ( const ucp_params_t * params,
const ucp_config_t * config,
ucp_context_h * context_p )
inlinestatic

This routine creates and initializes a UCP application context.

Warning
This routine must be called before any other UCP function call in the application.

This routine checks API version compatibility, then discovers the available network interfaces, and initializes the network resources required for discovering of the network and memory related devices. This routine is responsible for initialization all information required for a particular application scope, for example, MPI application, OpenSHMEM application, etc.

Note
  • Higher level protocols can add additional communication isolation, as MPI does with its communicator object. A single communication context may be used to support multiple MPI communicators.
  • The context can be used to isolate the communication that corresponds to different protocols. For example, if MPI and OpenSHMEM are using UCP to isolate the MPI communication from the OpenSHMEM communication, users should use different application context for each of the communication libraries.
Parameters
[in]configUCP configuration descriptor allocated through ucp_config_read() routine.
[in]paramsUser defined ucp_params_t configurations for the UCP application context.
[out]context_pInitialized UCP application context.
Returns
Error code as defined by ucs_status_t
Examples
ucp_client_server.c, and ucp_hello_world.c.

◆ ucp_cleanup()

void ucp_cleanup ( ucp_context_h context_p)

This routine finalizes and releases the resources associated with a UCP application context.

Warning
An application cannot call any UCP routine once the UCP application context released.

The cleanup process releases and shuts down all resources associated with the application context. After calling this routine, calling any UCP routine without calling UCP initialization routine is invalid.

Parameters
[in]context_pHandle to UCP application context.
Examples
ucp_client_server.c, and ucp_hello_world.c.

◆ ucp_context_query()
