MPI_Group_difference

MPI_Group_difference Makes a group from the difference of two groups.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>

int MPI_Group_difference(MPI_Group group1, MPI_Group group2,
    MPI_Group *newgroup)

Fortran Syntax

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'

MPI_GROUP_DIFFERENCE(GROUP1, GROUP2, NEWGROUP, IERROR)
    INTEGER GROUP1, GROUP2, NEWGROUP, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax

USE mpi_f08

MPI_Group_difference(group1, group2, newgroup, ierror)
    TYPE(MPI_Group), INTENT(IN) :: group1, group2
    TYPE(MPI_Group), INTENT(OUT) :: newgroup
    INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

INPUT PARAMETERS

  • group1 : First group (handle).
  • group2 : Second group (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

  • newgroup : Difference group (handle).
  • ierror : Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

The set-like operations are defined as follows:

  • union All elements of the first group (group1), followed by all

    elements of second group (group2) that are not in the first group

  • intersect all elements of the first group that are also in the

    second group, ordered as in first group

  • difference all elements of the first group that are not in the

    second group, ordered as in the first group

Note that for these operations the order of processes in the output group is determined primarily by order in the first group (if possible) and then, if necessary, by order in the second group. Neither union nor intersection are commutative, but both are associative.

The new group can be empty, that is, equal to MPI_GROUP_EMPTY.
