MPI_Barrier

Blocks until all processes in the communicator have reached this routine.

Syntax

• r = MPI_Barrier(Comm)

Input argument

• Comm - a MPI_Comm object.

Output argument

• r - integer value: MPI_SUCCESS (0) or MPI_ERR_COMM (5).

Description

This function is used as a synchronization point for all processes in a group. All processes are blocked until every process calls MPI_Barrier.

MPI_Initialized.

Example

mpiexec([modulepath('mpi'), '/examples/help_examples/MPI_Barrier.m'], 4)

if ~MPI_Initialized()
  MPI_Init();
end
my_rank = MPI_Comm_rank ();
num_ranks = MPI_Comm_size();
comm = MPI_Comm_object('MPI_COMM_WORLD');
sleep(my_rank);
MPI_Barrier(comm);
disp(['I am ', int2str(my_rank), ' of ', int2str(num_ranks)]);
if MPI_Initialized()
  MPI_Finalize();
end
