<p>
A Boost.MPI program consists of many cooperating processes (possibly running
on different computers) that communicate among themselves by passing messages.
Boost.MPI is a library (as is the lower-level MPI), not a language, so the
first step in a Boost.MPI is to create an <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/environment.html" title="Class environment">mpi::environment</a></code>
object that initializes the MPI environment and enables communication among
the processes. The <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/environment.html" title="Class environment">mpi::environment</a></code>
object is initialized with the program arguments (which it may modify) in your
main program. The creation of this object initializes MPI, and its destruction
will finalize MPI. In the vast majority of Boost.MPI programs, an instance
of <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/environment.html" title="Class environment">mpi::environment</a></code> will
be declared in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">main</span></code> at the
very beginning of the program.
</p>
<p>
Communication with MPI always occurs over a <span class="bold"><strong>communicator</strong></span>,
which can be created be simply default-constructing an object of type <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html" title="Class communicator">mpi::communicator</a></code>. This communicator
can then be queried to determine how many processes are running (the "size"
of the communicator) and to give a unique number to each process, from zero
to the size of the communicator (i.e., the "rank" of the process):

<p>
If you run this program with 7 processes, for instance, you will receive output
such as:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">I am process 5 of 7.
I am process 0 of 7.
I am process 1 of 7.
I am process 6 of 7.
I am process 2 of 7.
I am process 4 of 7.
I am process 3 of 7.
</pre>
<p>
Of course, the processes can execute in a different order each time, so the
ranks might not be strictly increasing. More interestingly, the text could
come out completely garbled, because one process can start writing "I
am a process" before another process has finished writing "of 7.".
</p>
<p>
If you should still have an MPI library supporting only MPI 1.1 you will need
to pass the command line arguments to the environment constructor as shown
in this example:

As a message passing library, MPI's primary purpose is to routine messages
from one process to another, i.e., point-to-point. MPI contains routines
that can send messages, receive messages, and query whether messages are
available. Each message has a source process, a target process, a tag, and
a payload containing arbitrary data. The source and target processes are
the ranks of the sender and receiver of the message, respectively. Tags are
integers that allow the receiver to distinguish between different messages
coming from the same sender.
</p>
<p>
The following program uses two MPI processes to write "Hello, world!"
to the screen (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">hello_world</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">cpp</span></code>):

<p>
The first processor (rank 0) passes the message "Hello" to the
second processor (rank 1) using tag 0. The second processor prints the string
it receives, along with a comma, then passes the message "world"
back to processor 0 with a different tag. The first processor then writes
this message with the "!" and exits. All sends are accomplished
with the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html#idm46563252812128-bb">communicator::send</a></code>
method and all receives use a corresponding <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html#idm46563252759616-bb">communicator::recv</a></code>
call.

<p>
The default MPI communication operations--<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">send</span></code>
and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">recv</span></code>--may have to wait
until the entire transmission is completed before they can return. Sometimes
this <span class="bold"><strong>blocking</strong></span> behavior has a negative
impact on performance, because the sender could be performing useful computation
while it is waiting for the transmission to occur. More important, however,
are the cases where several communication operations must occur simultaneously,
e.g., a process will both send and receive at the same time.
</p>
<p>
Let's revisit our "Hello, world!" program from the previous section.
The core of this program transmits two messages:

The first process passes a message to the second process, then prepares
to receive a message. The second process does the send and receive in the
opposite order. However, this sequence of events is just that--a <span class="bold"><strong>sequence</strong></span>--meaning that there is essentially no parallelism.
We can use non-blocking communication to ensure that the two messages are
transmitted simultaneously (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">hello_world_nonblocking</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">cpp</span></code>):

We have replaced calls to the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html#idm46563252812128-bb">communicator::send</a></code>
and <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html#idm46563252759616-bb">communicator::recv</a></code>
members with similar calls to their non-blocking counterparts, <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html#idm46563252696128-bb">communicator::isend</a></code>
and <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html#idm46563252654896-bb">communicator::irecv</a></code>.
The prefix <span class="bold"><strong>i</strong></span> indicates that the operations
return immediately with a <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/request.html" title="Class request">mpi::request</a></code>
object, which allows one to query the status of a communication request
(see the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/request.html#idm46563251859536-bb">test</a></code>
method) or wait until it has completed (see the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/request.html#idm46563251861456-bb">wait</a></code>
method). Multiple requests can be completed at the same time with the
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/wait_all.html" title="Function wait_all">wait_all</a></code> operation.
</p>
<p>
Important note: The MPI standard requires users to keep the request handle
for a non-blocking communication, and to call the "wait" operation
(or successfully test for completion) to complete the send or receive.
Unlike most C MPI implementations, which allow the user to discard the
request for a non-blocking send, Boost.MPI requires the user to call "wait"
or "test", since the request object might contain temporary buffers
that have to be kept until the send is completed. Moreover, the MPI standard
does not guarantee that the receive makes any progress before a call to
"wait" or "test", although most implementations of
the C MPI do allow receives to progress before the call to "wait"
or "test". Boost.MPI, on the other hand, generally requires "test"
or "wait" calls to make progress.

If you run this program multiple times, you may see some strange results:
namely, some runs will produce:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">Hello</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">world</span><span class="special">!</span>
</pre>
<p>
while others will produce:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">world</span><span class="special">!</span>
<span class="identifier">Hello</span><span class="special">,</span>
</pre>
<p>
or even some garbled version of the letters in "Hello" and "world".
This indicates that there is some parallelism in the program, because after
both messages are (simultaneously) transmitted, both processes will concurrent
execute their print statements. For both performance and correctness, non-blocking
communication operations are critical to many parallel applications using
MPI.

The inclusion of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">serialization</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span></code>
in the previous examples is very important: it makes values of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span></code> serializable, so that they can
be be transmitted using Boost.MPI. In general, built-in C++ types (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span></code>s, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>s,
characters, etc.) can be transmitted over MPI directly, while user-defined
and library-defined types will need to first be serialized (packed) into
a format that is amenable to transmission. Boost.MPI relies on the <a href="../../../libs/serialization/doc" target="_top">Boost.Serialization</a> library
to serialize and deserialize data types.
</p>
<p>
For types defined by the standard library (such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span></code>
or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">vector</span></code>) and some types in Boost (such
as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">variant</span></code>), the <a href="../../../libs/serialization/doc" target="_top">Boost.Serialization</a>
library already contains all of the required serialization code. In these
cases, you need only include the appropriate header from the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">serialization</span></code> directory.
</p>
<p>
For types that do not already have a serialization header, you will first
need to implement serialization code before the types can be transmitted
using Boost.MPI. Consider a simple class <a class="link" href="tutorial.html#gps_position"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gps_position</span></code></a> that contains members
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">degrees</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">minutes</span></code>, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">seconds</span></code>.
This class is made serializable by making it a friend of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">serialization</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">access</span></code> and introducing the templated

<p>
Complete information about making types serializable is beyond the scope
of this tutorial. For more information, please see the <a href="../../../libs/serialization/doc" target="_top">Boost.Serialization</a>
library tutorial from which the above example was extracted. One important
side benefit of making types serializable for Boost.MPI is that they become
serializable for any other usage, such as storing the objects to disk and
manipulated them in XML.
</p>
<p>
Some serializable types, like <a class="link" href="tutorial.html#gps_position"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gps_position</span></code></a> above, have a fixed
amount of data stored at fixed offsets and are fully defined by the values
of their data member (most POD with no pointers are a good example). When
this is the case, Boost.MPI can optimize their serialization and transmission
by avoiding extraneous copy operations. To enable this optimization, users
must specialize the type trait <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/is_mpi_datatype.html" title="Struct template is_mpi_datatype">is_mpi_datatype</a></code>, e.g.:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">mpi</span> <span class="special">{</span>
<span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special"><></span>
<span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">is_mpi_datatype</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">gps_position</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="special">:</span> <span class="identifier">mpl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">true_</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="special">};</span>
<span class="special">}</span> <span class="special">}</span>
</pre>
<p>
For non-template types we have defined a macro to simplify declaring a
type as an MPI datatype
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">BOOST_IS_MPI_DATATYPE</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">gps_position</span><span class="special">)</span>
</pre>
<p>
For composite traits, the specialization of <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/is_mpi_datatype.html" title="Struct template is_mpi_datatype">is_mpi_datatype</a></code> may depend
on <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">is_mpi_datatype</span></code> itself.
For instance, a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">array</span></code> object is fixed only when the type
of the parameter it stores is fixed:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">mpi</span> <span class="special">{</span>
<span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">typename</span> <span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">size_t</span> <span class="identifier">N</span><span class="special">></span>
<span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">is_mpi_datatype</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">array</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">N</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="special">></span>
<span class="special">:</span> <span class="keyword">public</span> <span class="identifier">is_mpi_datatype</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="special">};</span>
<span class="special">}</span> <span class="special">}</span>
</pre>
<p>
The redundant copy elimination optimization can only be applied when the
shape of the data type is completely fixed. Variable-length types (e.g.,
strings, linked lists) and types that store pointers cannot use the optimization,
but Boost.MPI will be unable to detect this error at compile time. Attempting
to perform this optimization when it is not correct will likely result
in segmentation faults and other strange program behavior.
</p>
<p>
Boost.MPI can transmit any user-defined data type from one process to another.
Built-in types can be transmitted without any extra effort; library-defined
types require the inclusion of a serialization header; and user-defined
types will require the addition of serialization code. Fixed data types
can be optimized for transmission using the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/is_mpi_datatype.html" title="Struct template is_mpi_datatype">is_mpi_datatype</a></code> type trait.

<a class="link" href="tutorial.html#mpi.point_to_point" title="Point-to-Point communication">Point-to-point operations</a> are the
core message passing primitives in Boost.MPI. However, many message-passing
applications also require higher-level communication algorithms that combine
or summarize the data stored on many different processes. These algorithms
support many common tasks such as "broadcast this value to all processes",
"compute the sum of the values on all processors" or "find
the global minimum."

The <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/broadcast.html" title="Function broadcast">broadcast</a></code>
algorithm is by far the simplest collective operation. It broadcasts a
value from a single process to all other processes within a <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html" title="Class communicator">communicator</a></code>. For instance,
the following program broadcasts "Hello, World!" from process

The <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/gather.html" title="Function gather">gather</a></code>
collective gathers the values produced by every process in a communicator
into a vector of values on the "root" process (specified by an
argument to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gather</span></code>). The
/i/th element in the vector will correspond to the value gathered fro mthe
/i/th process. For instance, in the following program each process computes
its own random number. All of these random numbers are gathered at process
0 (the "root" in this case), which prints out the values that
correspond to each processor. (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">random_gather</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">cpp</span></code>)

as the following. Although the random values will change from one run to
the next, the order of the processes in the output will remain the same

The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gather</span></code> operation collects
values from every process into a vector at one process. If instead the
values from every process need to be collected into identical vectors on
every process, use the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/all_gather.html" title="Function all_gather">all_gather</a></code> algorithm,
which is semantically equivalent to calling <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gather</span></code>
followed by a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">broadcast</span></code>

collective summarizes the values from each process into a single value

it takes a sequence of values (one per process) and combines them via a

In this example, we compute a string for each process and then perform
a reduction that concatenates all of the strings together into one, long
string. Executing this program with seven processors yields the following
output:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">The result is zero one two three four five six
</pre>
<p>
Any kind of binary function objects can be used with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">reduce</span></code>.
For instance, and there are many such function objects in the C++ standard
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">functional</span><span class="special">></span></code> header and the Boost.MPI header <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">mpi</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">operations</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code>. Or, you can create your own function
object. Function objects used with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">reduce</span></code>
must be associative, i.e. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">,</span>
<span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">y</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">))</span></code> must be equivalent to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">y</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span></code>. If they are also commutative (i..e,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">y</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">==</span> <span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">y</span><span class="special">,</span>
<span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span></code>),
Boost.MPI can use a more efficient implementation of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">reduce</span></code>.
To state that a function object is commutative, you will need to specialize
the class <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/is_commutative.html" title="Struct template is_commutative">is_commutative</a></code>.
For instance, we could modify the previous example by telling Boost.MPI
that string concatenation is commutative:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">mpi</span> <span class="special">{</span>
<span class="keyword">template</span><span class="special"><></span>
<span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">is_commutative</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">plus</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">>,</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">></span>
<span class="special">:</span> <span class="identifier">mpl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">true_</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="special">};</span>
<span class="special">}</span> <span class="special">}</span> <span class="comment">// end namespace boost::mpi</span>
</pre>
<p>
By adding this code prior to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">main</span><span class="special">()</span></code>, Boost.MPI will assume that string concatenation
is commutative and employ a different parallel algorithm for the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">reduce</span></code> operation. Using this algorithm,
the program outputs the following when run with seven processes:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">The result is zero one four five six two three
</pre>
<p>
Note how the numbers in the resulting string are in a different order:
this is a direct result of Boost.MPI reordering operations. The result
in this case differed from the non-commutative result because string concatenation
is not commutative: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"x"</span><span class="special">,</span>
<span class="string">"y"</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
is not the same as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"y"</span><span class="special">,</span>
<span class="string">"x"</span><span class="special">)</span></code>,
because argument order matters. For truly commutative operations (e.g.,
integer addition), the more efficient commutative algorithm will produce
the same result as the non-commutative algorithm. Boost.MPI also performs
direct mappings from function objects in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">functional</span><span class="special">></span></code>
to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">MPI_Op</span></code> values predefined
by MPI (e.g., <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">MPI_SUM</span></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">MPI_MAX</span></code>); if you have your
own function objects that can take advantage of this mapping, see the class
template <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/is_mpi_op.html" title="Struct template is_mpi_op">is_mpi_op</a></code>.
</p>
<p>
Like <a class="link" href="tutorial.html#mpi.gather" title="Gather"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gather</span></code></a>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">reduce</span></code> has an "all"
variant called <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/all_reduce.html" title="Function all_reduce">all_reduce</a></code> that performs
the reduction operation and broadcasts the result to all processes. This
variant is useful, for instance, in establishing global minimum or maximum
values.
</p>
<p>
The following code (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">global_min</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">cpp</span></code>)

as much space, which can be a problem depending on the size of the transmitted
data. If there is no need to preserve the input value, the output value
can be omitted. In that case the input value will be overridden with the
output value and Boost.MPI is able, in some situation, to implement the
operation with a more space efficient solution (using the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">MPI_IN_PLACE</span></code> flag of the MPI C mapping),
as in the following example (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">in_place_global_min</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">cpp</span></code>):

<a name="mpi.communicators"></a>Managing communicators</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
Communication with Boost.MPI always occurs over a communicator. A communicator
contains a set of processes that can send messages among themselves and perform
collective operations. There can be many communicators within a single program,
each of which contains its own isolated communication space that acts independently
of the other communicators.
</p>
<p>
When the MPI environment is initialized, only the "world" communicator
(called <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">MPI_COMM_WORLD</span></code> in
the MPI C and Fortran bindings) is available. The "world" communicator,
accessed by default-constructing a <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html" title="Class communicator">mpi::communicator</a></code>
object, contains all of the MPI processes present when the program begins
execution. Other communicators can then be constructed by duplicating or
building subsets of the "world" communicator. For instance, in
the following program we split the processes into two groups: one for processes
generating data and the other for processes that will collect the data. (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">generate_collect</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">cpp</span></code>)

When communicators are split in this way, their processes retain membership
in both the original communicator (which is not altered by the split) and
the new communicator. However, the ranks of the processes may be different
from one communicator to the next, because the rank values within a communicator
are always contiguous values starting at zero. In the example above, the
first two thirds of the processes become "generators" and the remaining
processes become "collectors". The ranks of the "collectors"
in the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">world</span></code> communicator
will be 2/3 <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">world</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">size</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
and greater, whereas the ranks of the same collector processes in the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">local</span></code> communicator will start at zero.
The following excerpt from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">collect_data</span><span class="special">()</span></code> (in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">generate_collect</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">cpp</span></code>) illustrates

The code in this except is executed by the "master" collector,
e.g., the node with rank 2/3 <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">world</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">size</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
in the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">world</span></code> communicator
and rank 0 in the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">local</span></code> (collector)
communicator. It receives a message from a generator via the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">world</span></code> communicator, then broadcasts the
message to each of the collectors via the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">local</span></code>
communicator.

<a name="mpi.skeleton_and_content"></a>Separating structure from content</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
When communicating data types over MPI that are not fundamental to MPI (such
as strings, lists, and user-defined data types), Boost.MPI must first serialize
these data types into a buffer and then communicate them; the receiver then
copies the results into a buffer before deserializing into an object on the
other end. For some data types, this overhead can be eliminated by using
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/is_mpi_datatype.html" title="Struct template is_mpi_datatype">is_mpi_datatype</a></code>.
However, variable-length data types such as strings and lists cannot be MPI
data types.
</p>
<p>
Boost.MPI supports a second technique for improving performance by separating
the structure of these variable-length data structures from the content stored
in the data structures. This feature is only beneficial when the shape of
the data structure remains the same but the content of the data structure
will need to be communicated several times. For instance, in a finite element
analysis the structure of the mesh may be fixed at the beginning of computation
but the various variables on the cells of the mesh (temperature, stress,
etc.) will be communicated many times within the iterative analysis process.
In this case, Boost.MPI allows one to first send the "skeleton"
of the mesh once, then transmit the "content" multiple times. Since
the content need not contain any information about the structure of the data
type, it can be transmitted without creating separate communication buffers.
</p>
<p>
To illustrate the use of skeletons and content, we will take a somewhat more
limited example wherein a master process generates random number sequences
into a list and transmits them to several slave processes. The length of
the list will be fixed at program startup, so the content of the list (i.e.,
the current sequence of numbers) can be transmitted efficiently. The complete
example is available in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">example</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">random_content</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">cpp</span></code>. We
being with the master process (rank 0), which builds a list, communicates
its structure via a <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/skeleton.html" title="Function template skeleton">skeleton</a></code>, then repeatedly
generates random number sequences to be broadcast to the slave processes
via <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/content.html" title="Class content">content</a></code>:

The skeletons and content of any Serializable data type can be transmitted
either via the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html#idm46563252812128-bb">send</a></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html#idm46563252759616-bb">recv</a></code> members of the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/communicator.html" title="Class communicator">communicator</a></code>
class (for point-to-point communicators) or broadcast via the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/broadcast.html" title="Function broadcast">broadcast()</a></code> collective. When separating
a data structure into a skeleton and content, be careful not to modify the
data structure (either on the sender side or the receiver side) without transmitting
the skeleton again. Boost.MPI can not detect these accidental modifications
to the data structure, which will likely result in incorrect data being transmitted
or unstable programs.

To obtain optimal performance for small fixed-length data types not containing
any pointers it is very important to mark them using the type traits of
Boost.MPI and Boost.Serialization.
</p>
<p>
It was already discussed that fixed length types containing no pointers
can be using as <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/is_mpi_datatype.html" title="Struct template is_mpi_datatype">is_mpi_datatype</a></code>, e.g.:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">mpi</span> <span class="special">{</span>

or the equivalent macro
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">BOOST_IS_MPI_DATATYPE</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">gps_position</span><span class="special">)</span>
</pre>
<p>
In addition it can give a substantial performance gain to turn off tracking
and versioning for these types, if no pointers to these types are used,
by using the traits classes or helper macros of Boost.Serialization:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">BOOST_CLASS_TRACKING</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">gps_position</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">track_never</span><span class="special">)</span>

More optimizations are possible on homogeneous machines, by avoiding MPI_Pack/MPI_Unpack
calls but using direct bitwise copy. This feature is enabled by default
by defining the macro <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../BOOST_MPI_HOMOGENEOUS.html" title="Macro BOOST_MPI_HOMOGENEOUS">BOOST_MPI_HOMOGENEOUS</a></code>
in the include file <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">mpi</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">config</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span></code>.
That definition must be consistent when building Boost.MPI and when building
the application.
</p>
<p>
In addition all classes need to be marked both as is_mpi_datatype and as
is_bitwise_serializable, by using the helper macro of Boost.Serialization:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">BOOST_IS_BITWISE_SERIALIZABLE</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">gps_position</span><span class="special">)</span>
</pre>
<p>
Usually it is safe to serialize a class for which is_mpi_datatype is true
by using binary copy of the bits. The exception are classes for which some
members should be skipped for serialization.

This section provides tables that map from the functions and constants of
the standard C MPI to their Boost.MPI equivalents. It will be most useful
for users that are already familiar with the C or Fortran interfaces to MPI,
or for porting existing parallel programs to Boost.MPI.

Boost.MPI does not provide direct wrappers to the MPI derived datatypes functionality.
Instead, Boost.MPI relies on the <a href="../../../libs/serialization/doc" target="_top">Boost.Serialization</a>
library to construct MPI datatypes for user-defined classes. The section
on <a class="link" href="tutorial.html#mpi.user_data_types" title="User-defined data types">user-defined data types</a> describes
this mechanism, which is used for types that marked as "MPI datatypes"
using <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/is_mpi_datatype.html" title="Struct template is_mpi_datatype">is_mpi_datatype</a></code>.
</p>
<p>
The derived datatypes table that follows describes which C++ types correspond
to the functionality of the C MPI's datatype constructor. Boost.MPI may not
actually use the C MPI function listed when building datatypes of a certain
form. Since the actual datatypes built by Boost.MPI are typically hidden
from the user, many of these operations are called internally by Boost.MPI.

MPI's packing facilities store values into a contiguous buffer, which can
later be transmitted via MPI and unpacked into separate values via MPI's
unpacking facilities. As with datatypes, Boost.MPI provides an abstract interface
to MPI's packing and unpacking facilities. In particular, the two archive
classes <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/packed_oarchive.html" title="Class packed_oarchive">packed_oarchive</a></code>
and <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/mpi/packed_iarchive.html" title="Class packed_iarchive">packed_iarchive</a></code>

is provided via an interface to the <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/graph/doc/index.html" target="_top">Boost

the structure of any BGL graph, and the graph topology of a communicator
