pvm_barrier
blocks the calling process until all processes in a group have called it.
Calling Sequence
[info] = pvm_barrier(group,count)
Arguments
- type
string, name of an existing group.
- count
integer, specifying the number of group members that must call pvm_barrier before they are all released.
- info
integer, status code returned by the routine.
Description
pvm_barrier
blocks the calling process until count
members of the group
have called pvm_barrier
.
The count
argument is required because processes could be
joining the given group after other processes have called
pvm_barrier
. Thus PVM does not know how many group members
to wait for at any given instant. Although count
can be set less,
it is typically the total number of members of the group.
So the logical function of the pvm_barrier
call
is to provide a group synchronization.
During any given barrier call all participating group members
must call barrier with the same count value.
Once a given barrier has been successfully passed,
pvm_barrier
can be called again by the same group using the same
group name.
The returned value info
will be zero if
pvm_barrier
is successful and will be
will be < 0 if some error occurs.
