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.

Data Structure Documentation

struct ucp_context_attr

The structure defines the attributes which 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.

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_hello_world.c.

Data Fields
ucp_tag_t	sender_tag	Sender tag
size_t	length	The size of the received data

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct ucp_context_attr ucp_context_attr_t

The structure defines the attributes which characterize the particular context.

typedef struct ucp_tag_recv_info 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.

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.

typedef void(* ucp_request_init_callback_t) (void *request)

This callback routine is responsible for the request initialization.

Parameters

[in] request Request handle to initialize.

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] request Request handle to cleanup.

Function Documentation

void ucp_get_version	(	unsigned *	major_version,
		unsigned *	minor_version,
		unsigned *	release_number
	)

This routine returns the UCP library version.

Parameters

[out]	major_version	Filled with library major version.
[out]	minor_version	Filled with library minor version.
[out]	release_number	Filled with library release number.

const char* ucp_get_version_string ( void )

This routine returns the UCP library version as a string which consists of: "major.minor.release".

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 it's 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]	config	UCP configuration descriptor allocated through ucp_config_read() routine.
[in]	params	User defined ucp_params_t configurations for the UCP application context.
[out]	context_p	Initialized UCP application context.

Returns: Error code as defined by ucs_status_t

Examples:: ucp_hello_world.c.

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_p Handle to UCP application context.

Examples:: ucp_hello_world.c.

ucs_status_t ucp_context_query	(	ucp_context_h	context_p,
		ucp_context_attr_t *	attr
	)

This routine fetches information about the context.

Parameters

[in]	context_p	Handle to UCP application context.
[out]	attr	Filled with attributes of `context_p` context.

Returns: Error code as defined by ucs_status_t

void ucp_context_print_info	(	const ucp_context_h	context,
		FILE *	stream
	)

This routine prints information about the context configuration: including memory domains, transport resources, and other useful information associated with the context.

Parameters

[in]	context	Print this context object's configuration.
[in]	stream	Output stream on which to print the information.
