Detailed Description

Used to send/receive messages in a multiprocess environment.

This is an abstact class which contains functionality for sending and receiving inter-process messages. It contains methods for marshaling an object into a string (currently used by the MPI communicator but not the shared memory communicator).

Warning:

Communication between systems with different vtkIdTypes is not supported. All machines have to have the same vtkIdType.

Reimplemented in vtkDummyCommunicator, vtkMPICommunicator, vtkSocketCommunicator, and vtkSubCommunicator.

static int vtkCommunicator::IsTypeOf

(

const char *

type

)

[static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkDummyCommunicator, vtkMPICommunicator, vtkSocketCommunicator, and vtkSubCommunicator.

virtual int vtkCommunicator::IsA

(

const char *

type

)

[virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkDummyCommunicator, vtkMPICommunicator, vtkSocketCommunicator, and vtkSubCommunicator.

)

[static]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkDummyCommunicator, vtkMPICommunicator, vtkSocketCommunicator, and vtkSubCommunicator.

void vtkCommunicator::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,
		vtkIndent	indent
	)			[virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkDummyCommunicator, vtkMPICommunicator, vtkSocketCommunicator, and vtkSubCommunicator.

virtual void vtkCommunicator::SetNumberOfProcesses

(

int

num

)

[virtual]

Set the number of processes you will be using. This defaults to the maximum number available. If you set this to a value higher than the default, you will get an error.

Reimplemented in vtkSocketCommunicator.

virtual int vtkCommunicator::GetNumberOfProcesses

(

)

[virtual]

Set the number of processes you will be using. This defaults to the maximum number available. If you set this to a value higher than the default, you will get an error.

virtual int vtkCommunicator::GetLocalProcessId

(

)

[virtual]

Tells you which process [0, NumProcess) you are in.

int vtkCommunicator::Send	(	vtkDataObject *	data,
		int	remoteHandle,
		int	tag
	)

This method sends a data object to a destination. Tag eliminates ambiguity and is used to match sends to receives.

Referenced by vtkMultiProcessController::Send().

int vtkCommunicator::Send	(	vtkDataArray *	data,
		int	remoteHandle,
		int	tag
	)

This method sends a data array to a destination. Tag eliminates ambiguity and is used to match sends to receives.

virtual int vtkCommunicator::SendVoidArray	(	const void *	data,
		vtkIdType	length,
		int	type,
		int	remoteHandle,
		int	tag
	)			[pure virtual]

Subclasses have to supply this method to send various arrays of data. The type arg is one of the VTK type constants recognized by the vtkTemplateMacro (VTK_FLOAT, VTK_INT, etc.). length is measured in number of values (as opposed to number of bytes).

Implemented in vtkDummyCommunicator, vtkMPICommunicator, vtkSocketCommunicator, and vtkSubCommunicator.
