SHMEM_FLOAT_PUT_NBI(3)

✨ NAME ✨

shmem_float_put_nbi(3) bestie, and ok so literally the whole girl gang is here too: shmem_putmem_nbi(3), shmem_char_put_nbi(3), shmem_short_put_nbi(3), shmem_int_put_nbi(3), shmem_long_put_nbi(3), shmem_longlong_put_nbi(3), shmem_double_put_nbi(3), shmem_longdouble_put_nbi(3), shmem_put8_nbi(3), shmem_put16_nbi(3), shmem_put32_nbi(3), shmem_put64_nbi(3), and shmem_put128_nbi(3) 🫶

The nonblocking put routines provide a method for copying data from a contiguous local data object to a data object on a specified PE. no cap ✨

This is the Open MPI manual, btw, and yeah we're doing the whole thing, all of it, every last flag and line 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

ok so the whole vibe here is: these routines return after posting the operation. Like, they do NOT wait around. They're the "post now, worry later" girlies 🦋

The operation is considered complete after a subsequent call to shmem_quiet. At the completion of shmem_quiet, the data has been copied into the dest array on the destination PE. 💅

Now, the delivery of data words into the data object on the destination PE may occur in any order. And it gets messier: two successive put routines may deliver data out of order unless a call to shmem_fence is introduced between the two calls. yes, actually, that's real, don't skip the fence 😭

The arguments are as follows:

• dest — Data object to be updated on the remote PE. This data object must be remotely accessible. 👑
• source — Data object containing the data to be copied.
• nelems — Number of elements in the dest and source arrays. nelems must be of type size_t for C. If you are using Fortran, it must be a constant, variable, or array element of default integer type.
• pe — PE number of the remote PE. pe must be of type integer. If you are using Fortran, it must be a constant, variable, or array element of default integer type.

If you are using Fortran, data types must be of default size. For example, a real variable must be declared as REAL, REAL*4, or REAL(KIND=4). 🎀

See intro_shmem(3) for a definition of the term remotely accessible. iykyk 🌈

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

ok consider this simple example for C, it's giving main character energy:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpp/shmem.h>

main()
{
  long source[10] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
  static long target[10];
  shmem_init();

  if (shmem_my_pe() == 0) {
    /* put 10 words into target on PE 1 */
    shmem_long_put_nbi(target, source, 10, 1);
    shmem_quiet();
  }
  shmem_barrier_all();  /* sync sender and receiver */
  if (shmem_my_pe() == 1)
    shmem_udcflush();  /* not required on Altix systems */
  printf("target[0] on PE %d is %d\n", shmem_my_pe(), target[0]);
}
