Detailed Description

UCP Data type routines

Data Structure Documentation

struct ucp_dt_iov

This structure is used to specify a list of buffers which can be used within a single data transfer function call. This list should remain valid until the data transfer request is completed.

Note: If length is zero, the memory pointed to by buffer will not be accessed. Otherwise, buffer must point to valid memory.

Examples:: ucp_client_server.c.

Data Fields
void *	buffer	Pointer to a data buffer
size_t	length	Length of the buffer in bytes

struct ucp_datatype_attr

This structure provides attributes of a UCP datatype.

Data Fields
uint64_t	field_mask	Mask of valid fields in this structure, using bits from ucp_datatype_attr_field. Fields not specified in this mask will be ignored. Provides ABI compatibility with respect to adding new fields.
size_t	packed_size	Packed size of the given datatype. (output parameter)
const void *	buffer	Pointer to a data buffer of the associated data type. This field is optional. If UCP_DATATYPE_ATTR_FIELD_BUFFER is not set in field_mask, this field defaults to NULL.
size_t	count	Number of elements in buffer. This value is optional. If UCP_DATATYPE_ATTR_FIELD_COUNT is not set in field_mask, the value of this field defaults to 1.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define ucp_dt_make_contig ( _elem_size ) (((ucp_datatype_t)(_elem_size) << UCP_DATATYPE_SHIFT) | UCP_DATATYPE_CONTIG)

This macro creates an identifier for contiguous datatype that is defined by the size of the basic element.

Parameters

[in] _elem_size Size of the basic element of the type.

Returns: Data-type identifier.

Note: In case of partial receive, the buffer will be filled with integral count of elements.

Examples:: ucp_client_server.c, and ucp_hello_world.c.

#define ucp_dt_make_iov ( ) ((ucp_datatype_t)UCP_DATATYPE_IOV)

This macro creates an identifier for datatype of scatter-gather list with multiple pointers

Returns: Data-type identifier.

Note: In the event of partial receive, ucp_dt_iov_t::buffer can be filled with any number of bytes according to its ucp_dt_iov_t::length.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct ucp_dt_iov ucp_dt_iov_t

This structure is used to specify a list of buffers which can be used within a single data transfer function call. This list should remain valid until the data transfer request is completed.

Note: If length is zero, the memory pointed to by buffer will not be accessed. Otherwise, buffer must point to valid memory.

typedef struct ucp_generic_dt_ops ucp_generic_dt_ops_t

This structure provides a generic datatype descriptor that is used for definition of application defined datatypes.

Typically, the descriptor is used for an integration with datatype engines implemented within MPI and SHMEM implementations.

Note: In case of partial receive, any amount of received data is acceptable which matches buffer size.

typedef struct ucp_datatype_attr ucp_datatype_attr_t

This structure provides attributes of a UCP datatype.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum ucp_dt_type

The enumeration list describes the datatypes supported by UCP.

Enumerator
UCP_DATATYPE_CONTIG	Contiguous datatype
UCP_DATATYPE_STRIDED	Strided datatype
UCP_DATATYPE_IOV	Scatter-gather list with multiple pointers
UCP_DATATYPE_GENERIC	Generic datatype with user-defined pack/unpack routines
UCP_DATATYPE_SHIFT	Number of bits defining the datatype classification
UCP_DATATYPE_CLASS_MASK	Data-type class mask

enum ucp_datatype_attr_field

The enumeration allows specifying which fields in ucp_datatype_attr_t are present and which datatype attributes are queried.

Enumerator
UCP_DATATYPE_ATTR_FIELD_PACKED_SIZE	ucp_datatype_attr_t::packed_size field is queried.
UCP_DATATYPE_ATTR_FIELD_BUFFER	ucp_datatype_attr_t::buffer field is set.
UCP_DATATYPE_ATTR_FIELD_COUNT	ucp_datatype_attr_t::count field is set.

Function Documentation

ucs_status_t ucp_dt_create_generic	(	const ucp_generic_dt_ops_t *	ops,
		void *	context,
		ucp_datatype_t *	datatype_p
	)

This routine create a generic datatype object. The generic datatype is described by the ops object which provides a table of routines defining the operations for generic datatype manipulation. Typically, generic datatypes are used for integration with datatype engines provided with MPI implementations (MPICH, Open MPI, etc). The application is responsible for releasing the datatype_p object using ucp_dt_destroy() routine.

Parameters

[in]	ops	Generic datatype function table as defined by ucp_generic_dt_ops_t .
[in]	context	Application defined context passed to this routine. The context is passed as a parameter to the routines in the ops table.
[out]	datatype_p	A pointer to datatype object.

Returns: Error code as defined by ucs_status_t

void ucp_dt_destroy ( ucp_datatype_t datatype )

This routine destroys the datatype object and releases any resources that are associated with the object. The datatype object must be allocated using ucp_dt_create_generic() routine.

Warning

Once the datatype object is released an access to this object may cause an undefined failure.

Parameters

[in] datatype Datatype object to destroy.

ucs_status_t ucp_dt_query	(	ucp_datatype_t	datatype,
		ucp_datatype_attr_t *	attr
	)

This routine fetches information about the attributes of a datatype. When UCP_DATATYPE_ATTR_FIELD_PACKED_SIZE is set in field_mask of attr, the field packed_size is set to the packed size (bytes) of the datatype.

Parameters

[in]	datatype	Datatype object to query.
[in,out]	attr	Filled with attributes of the datatype.

Returns: Error code as defined by ucs_status_t

Variable Documentation

void*(* ucp_generic_dt_ops::start_pack) (void *context, const void *buffer, size_t count)
