MPI_Comm_create
===============
.. include_body
:ref:`MPI_Comm_create` |mdash| Creates a new communicator.
SYNTAX
------
C Syntax
^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: C
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_create(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Group group, MPI_Comm *newcomm)
Fortran Syntax
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: Fortran
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_COMM_CREATE(COMM, GROUP, NEWCOMM, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, GROUP, NEWCOMM, IERROR
Fortran 2008 Syntax
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: Fortran
USE mpi_f08
MPI_Comm_create(comm, group, newcomm, ierror)
TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm
TYPE(MPI_Group), INTENT(IN) :: group
TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(OUT) :: newcomm
INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
INPUT PARAMETER
---------------
* ``comm`` : Communicator (handle).
* ``group`` : Group, which is a subset of the group of comm (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
-----------------
* ``newcomm`` : New communicator (handle).
* ``ierror`` : Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This function creates a new communicator newcomm with communication
group defined by group and a new context. The function sets newcomm to a
new communicator that spans all the processes that are in the group. It
sets newcomm to MPI_COMM_NULL for processes that are not in the group.
Each process must call with a group argument that is a subgroup of the
group associated with comm; this could be MPI_GROUP_EMPTY. The processes
may specify different values for the group argument. If a process calls
with a non-empty group, then all processes in that group must call the
function with the same group as argument, that is: the same processes in
the same order. Otherwise the call is erroneous.
NOTES
-----
:ref:`MPI_Comm_create` provides a means of making a subset of processes for the
purpose of separate MIMD computation, with separate communication space.
newcomm, which is created by :ref:`MPI_Comm_create`, can be used in subsequent
calls to :ref:`MPI_Comm_create` (or other communicator constructors) to further
subdivide a computation into parallel sub-computations. A more general
service is provided by :ref:`MPI_Comm_split`.
