MPI_Recv

Blocking receive for a message.

📝 Syntax

• r = MPI_Recv(Source, Tag)

• [r, mpi_source, mpi_tag] = MPI_Reduce(Source, Tag, Comm)

📥 Input argument

• Source - an integer value: rank of source.

• Tag - an integer value: message tag.

• Comm - a MPI_Comm object.

📤 Output argument

• r - received value

📄 Description

This function receives an array from a source node on a given communicator with the specified tag.

Throws an exception if there is an error.

Receive arrays of arbitrary complexity, including cell arrays, structures, strings, sparse, etc ...

💡 Example

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

if ~MPI_Initialized()
  MPI_Init();
end
comm = MPI_Comm_object()
my_rank = MPI_Comm_rank (comm)
num_ranks = MPI_Comm_size(comm)

TAG= 1;
if (my_rank != 0)
  rankvect = 0;
  MPI_Send(rand(3,3) + my_rank, rankvect, TAG, comm);
else
  disp('MPI master receive:')
  for source = 1:num_ranks - 1
    disp(['From slave ', int2str(source)])
    message = MPI_Recv (source, TAG, comm);
    disp(message)
  end
end

if MPI_Initialized()
  MPI_Finalize();
end
