pvm_recv − Receive a message.
C |
int bufid = pvm_recv( int tid, int msgtag ) |
|||
Fortran |
call pvmfrecv( tid, msgtag, bufid ) |
tid |
Integer task identifier of sending process supplied by the user. | ||
msgtag |
Integer message tag supplied by the user. msgtag should be >= 0. | ||
bufid |
Integer returns the value of the new active receive buffer identifier. Values less than zero indicate an error. |
The routine pvm_recv blocks the process until a message with label msgtag has arrived from tid. pvm_recv then places the message in a new active receive buffer, which also clears the current receive buffer.
A -1 in msgtag or tid matches anything. This allows the user the following options. If tid = -1 and msgtag is defined by the user, then pvm_recv will accept a message from any process which has a matching msgtag. If msgtag = -1 and tid is defined by the user, then pvm_recv will accept any message that is sent from process tid. If tid = -1 and msgtag = -1, then pvm_recv will accept any message from any process.
The PVM model guarantees the following about message order. If task 1 sends message A to task 2, then task 1 sends message B to task 2, message A will arrive at task 2 before message B. Moreover, if both messages arrive before task 2 does a receive, then a wildcard receive will always return message A.
If pvm_recv is successful, bufid will be the value of the new active receive buffer identifier. If some error occurs then bufid will be < 0.
pvm_recv is blocking which means the routine waits until a message matching the user specified tid and msgtag values arrives at the local pvmd. If the message has already arrived then pvm_recv returns immediately with the message.
Once pvm_recv returns, the data in the message can be unpacked into the user’s memory using the unpack routines.
C:
tid = pvm_parent(); | |
msgtag = 4 ; | |
bufid = pvm_recv( tid, msgtag ); | |
info = pvm_upkint( tid_array, 10, 1 ); | |
info = pvm_upkint( problem_size, 1, 1 ); | |
info = pvm_upkfloat( input_array, 100, 1 ); |
Fortran:
CALL PVMFRECV( -1, 4, BUFID ) | |
CALL PVMFUNPACK( INTEGER4, TIDS, 25, 1, INFO ) | |
CALL PVMFUNPACK( REAL8, MATRIX, 100, 100, INFO ) |
These error
conditions can be returned by pvm_recv
PvmBadParam
giving an invalid tid value, or msgtag < -1.
PvmSysErr
pvmd not responding.
