MPI_Cart_coords(3OpenMPI)                                                          MPI_Cart_coords(3OpenMPI)



NAME
       MPI_Cart_coords - Determines process coords in Cartesian topology given rank in group.


SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Cart_coords(MPI_Comm comm, int rank, int maxdims,
            int *coords)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_CART_COORDS(COMM, RANK, MAXDIMS, COORDS, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM, RANK, MAXDIMS, COORDS(*), IERROR


C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void Cartcomm::Get_coords(int rank, int maxdims,
            int coords[]) const


INPUT PARAMETERS
       comm      Communicator with Cartesian structure (handle).

       rank      Rank of a process within group of comm (integer).

       maxdims    Length of vector coord in the calling program (integer).


OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       coords    Integer  array  (of  size  ndims,which  was defined by MPI_Cart_create call) containing the
                 Cartesian coordinates of specified process (integer).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).


DESCRIPTION
       The inverse mapping, rank-to-coordinates translation is provided by MPI_Cart_coords.


ERRORS
       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the  function  and  Fortran
       routines  in  the  last argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default error handler is
       set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism will be used to  throw
       an MPI:Exception object.

       Before  the  error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error
       handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error handler  may  be  changed  with
       MPI_Comm_set_errhandler;  the  predefined  error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error
       values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI  program  can  continue  past  an
       error.
