The Alltoall
collective communication combines the scatter
and gather
functionality. In mpi4py
, there are three types of Alltoall
collective communication:
comm .Alltoall(sendbuf, recvbuf)
: The all-to-all scatter/gather sends data from all-to-all processes in a groupcomm.Alltoallv(sendbuf, recvbuf)
: The all-to-all scatter/gather vector sends data from all-to-all processes in a group, providing different amount of data and displacementscomm.Alltoallw(sendbuf, recvbuf)
: Generalized all-to-all communication allows different counts, displacements, and datatypes for each partner
In the following example, we'll see a mpi4py
implementation of comm.Alltoall
. We consider a communicator group of processes, where each process sends and receives an array of numerical data from the other processes defined in the group:
from mpi4py import MPI import numpy comm = MPI.COMM_WORLD size = comm.Get_size() rank = comm.Get_rank() a_size = 1 senddata = (rank...
