Detailed Description

A real mpi helper.

This helper should be used for parallel programs.

Examples

recipe-communication.cc, recipe-integration.cc, recipe-iterate-over-grid.cc, and recipe-operator-splitting.cc.

isFake	Are we fake (i. e. pretend to have MPI support but are compiled without.

Member Function Documentation

getCommunicator()

static MPICommunicator Dune::MPIHelper::getCommunicator ( )

inlinestatic

get the default communicator

Return a communicator to exchange data with all processes

Returns

MPI_COMM_WORLD

getLocalCommunicator()

static MPICommunicator Dune::MPIHelper::getLocalCommunicator ( )

inlinestatic

get a local communicator

Returns a communicator to exchange data with the local process only

Returns

MPI_COMM_SELF

Referenced by Dune::GridFactoryInterface< GridType >::comm().

instance()

static DUNE_EXPORT MPIHelper & Dune::MPIHelper::instance ( int &  argc, char **&  argv  )

inlinestatic

Get the singleton instance of the helper.

This method has to be called with the same arguments that the main method of the program was called:

int main(int argc, char** argv){
  MPIHelper::instance(argc, argv);
  // program code comes here
  ...
}

Parameters

argc	The number of arguments provided to main.
argv	The arguments provided to main.
