@name Initialisation
\ingroup API_MPI_Support

\def STARPU_USE_MPI
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Defined when StarPU has been installed with MPI support. It should be
used in your code to detect the availability of MPI.

\fn int starpu_mpi_init_conf(int *argc, char ***argv, int initialize_mpi, MPI_Comm comm, struct starpu_conf *conf)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Initialize the StarPU library with the given \p conf, and initialize the
StarPU-MPI library with the given MPI communicator \p comm. \p initialize_mpi
indicates if MPI should be initialized or not by StarPU.
StarPU-MPI takes the opportunity to modify \p conf to either reserve a core for
its MPI thread (by default), or execute MPI calls on the CPU driver 0 between tasks.

\fn int starpu_mpi_init_comm(int *argc, char ***argv, int initialize_mpi, MPI_Comm comm)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
This is the same as starpu_mpi_init_conf(), except that this does not initialize
the StarPU library. The caller thus has to call starpu_init() before this.

\fn int starpu_mpi_init(int *argc, char ***argv, int initialize_mpi)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Call starpu_mpi_init_comm() with the MPI communicator \c MPI_COMM_WORLD.

\fn int starpu_mpi_initialize(void)
\deprecated
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
This function has been made deprecated. One should use instead the
function starpu_mpi_init(). This function does not call \c MPI_Init(), it
should be called beforehand.

\fn int starpu_mpi_initialize_extended(int *rank, int *world_size)
\deprecated
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
This function has been made deprecated. One should use instead the
function starpu_mpi_init(). MPI will be initialized by starpumpi by
calling <c>MPI_Init_Thread(argc, argv, MPI_THREAD_SERIALIZED,
...)</c>.

\fn int starpu_mpi_shutdown(void)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Clean the starpumpi library. This must be called after calling any
\c starpu_mpi functions and before the call to starpu_shutdown(), if any.
\c MPI_Finalize() will be called if StarPU-MPI has been initialized by starpu_mpi_init().

\fn void starpu_mpi_comm_amounts_retrieve(size_t *comm_amounts)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Retrieve the current amount of communications from the current node in
the array \p comm_amounts which must have a size greater or equal to
the world size. Communications statistics must be enabled (see
\ref STARPU_COMM_STATS).

\fn int starpu_mpi_comm_size(MPI_Comm comm, int *size)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Return in \p size the size of the communicator \p comm

\fn int starpu_mpi_comm_rank(MPI_Comm comm, int *rank)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Return in \p rank the rank of the calling process in the communicator \p comm

\fn int starpu_mpi_world_rank(void)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Return the rank of the calling process in the communicator \c MPI_COMM_WORLD

\fn int starpu_mpi_world_size(void)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Return the size of the communicator \c MPI_COMM_WORLD

\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Similar to starpu_mpi_send, but takes a priority \p prio.

\fn int starpu_mpi_recv(starpu_data_handle_t data_handle, int source, starpu_mpi_tag_t data_tag, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Status *status)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Perform a standard-mode, blocking receive in \p data_handle from the
node \p source using the message tag \p data_tag within the
communicator \p comm.

\fn int starpu_mpi_isend(starpu_data_handle_t data_handle, starpu_mpi_req *req, int dest, starpu_mpi_tag_t data_tag, MPI_Comm comm)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Post a standard-mode, non blocking send of \p data_handle to the node
\p dest using the message tag \p data_tag within the communicator \p
comm. After the call, the pointer to the request \p req can be used to
test or to wait for the completion of the communication.

\fn int starpu_mpi_isend_prio(starpu_data_handle_t data_handle, starpu_mpi_req *req, int dest, starpu_mpi_tag_t data_tag, int prio, MPI_Comm comm)

\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Post a standard-mode, non blocking send of \p data_handle to the node
\p dest using the message tag \p data_tag within the communicator \p
comm. On completion, the \p callback function is called with the
argument \p arg.
Similarly to the pthread detached functionality, when a detached
communication completes, its resources are automatically released back
to the system, there is no need to test or to wait for the completion
of the request.

communication completes, its resources are automatically released back
to the system, there is no need to test or to wait for the completion
of the request.

\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Post a nonblocking receive in \p data_handle from the node \p source
using the message tag \p data_tag within the communicator \p comm. On
completion, the \p callback function is called with the argument \p
arg.
The parameter \p sequential_consistency allows to enable or disable
the sequential consistency for \p data handle (sequential consistency
will be enabled or disabled based on the value of the parameter \p
sequential_consistency and the value of the sequential consistency
defined for \p data_handle).
Similarly to the pthread detached functionality, when a detached
communication completes, its resources are automatically released back
to the system, there is no need to test or to wait for the completion
of the request.

\fn int starpu_mpi_issend(starpu_data_handle_t data_handle, starpu_mpi_req *req, int dest, starpu_mpi_tag_t data_tag, MPI_Comm comm)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Perform a synchronous-mode, non-blocking send of \p data_handle to the node
\p dest using the message tag \p data_tag within the communicator \p
comm.

\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Return when the operation identified by request \p req is complete.

\fn int starpu_mpi_test(starpu_mpi_req *req, int *flag, MPI_Status *status)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support

@name Communication Cache
\ingroup API_MPI_Support

\fn int starpu_mpi_cache_is_enabled()
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Return 1 if the communication cache is enabled, 0 otherwise

\fn void starpu_mpi_cache_flush(MPI_Comm comm, starpu_data_handle_t data_handle)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Clear the send and receive communication cache for the data
\p data_handle and invalidate the value. The function has to be called at the
same point of task graph submission by all the MPI nodes on which the handle was

Test whether \p data_handle is cached for reception, i.e. the value was
previously received from the owner node, and not flushed since then.

\fn int starpu_mpi_cached_send(starpu_data_handle_t data_handle, int dest);
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Test whether \p data_handle is cached for emission to node \p dest , i.e. the

\ingroup API_MPI_Support

\fn void starpu_mpi_data_register_comm(starpu_data_handle_t data_handle, starpu_mpi_tag_t data_tag, int rank, MPI_Comm comm)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Register to MPI a StarPU data handle with the given tag, rank and MPI communicator.
It also automatically clears the MPI communication cache when unregistering the data.

\def starpu_mpi_data_register(data_handle, data_tag, rank)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Register to MPI a StarPU data handle with the given tag, rank and the MPI communicator \c MPI_COMM_WORLD.
It also automatically clears the MPI communication cache when unregistering the data.

\fn void starpu_mpi_data_set_tag(starpu_data_handle_t handle, starpu_mpi_tag_t data_tag)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Register to MPI a StarPU data handle with the given tag. No rank will be defined.
It also automatically clears the MPI communication cache when unregistering the data.

\def starpu_data_set_tag
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Symbol kept for backward compatibility. Calling function starpu_mpi_data_set_tag()

\fn void starpu_mpi_data_set_rank_comm(starpu_data_handle_t handle, int rank, MPI_Comm comm)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Register to MPI a StarPU data handle with the given rank and given communicator. No tag will be defined.
It also automatically clears the MPI communication cache when unregistering the data.

\def starpu_mpi_data_set_rank
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Register to MPI a StarPU data handle with the given rank and the MPI communicator \c MPI_COMM_WORLD. No tag will be defined.
It also automatically clears the MPI communication cache when unregistering the data.
Symbol kept for backward compatibility. Calling function starpu_mpi_data_set_rank()

\def starpu_data_set_rank
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Register to MPI a StarPU data handle with the given rank and the MPI communicator \c MPI_COMM_WORLD. No tag will be defined.
It also automatically clears the MPI communication cache when unregistering the data.
Symbol kept for backward compatibility. Calling function starpu_mpi_data_set_rank()

\fn int starpu_mpi_data_get_rank(starpu_data_handle_t handle)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Return the rank of the given data.

\def starpu_data_get_rank
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Return the rank of the given data.

\def STARPU_MPI_PER_NODE
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Can be used as rank when calling starpu_mpi_data_register() and alike, to
specify that the data is per-node: each node will have its own value. Tasks
writing to such data will be replicated on all nodes (and all parameters then
have to be per-node). Tasks not writing to such data will just take the
node-local value without any MPI communication.

\fn void starpu_mpi_data_migrate(MPI_Comm comm, starpu_data_handle_t handle, int new_rank)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Submits migration of the data onto the \p new_rank MPI node. This means both submitting the transfer of
the data to node \p new_rank if it hasn't been submitted already, and setting
the home node of the data to the new node. Further data transfers submitted by
starpu_mpi_task_insert() will be done from that new node. This function thus
needs to be called on all nodes which have registered the data at the same point of tasks submissions. This also
flushes the cache for this data to avoid incoherencies.

\def STARPU_EXECUTE_ON_NODE
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Used when calling starpu_mpi_task_insert(), must be
followed by a integer value which specified the node on which to
execute the codelet.

\def STARPU_EXECUTE_ON_DATA
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Used when calling starpu_mpi_task_insert(), must be
followed by a data handle to specify that the node owning the given
data will execute the codelet.

\def STARPU_NODE_SELECTION_POLICY
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Used when calling starpu_mpi_task_insert(), must be
followed by a identifier to a node selection policy. This is needed when several
nodes own data in ::STARPU_W mode.

\fn int starpu_mpi_insert_task(MPI_Comm comm, struct starpu_codelet *codelet, ...)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Call starpu_mpi_task_insert(). Symbol kept for backward compatibility.

\fn int starpu_mpi_task_insert(MPI_Comm comm, struct starpu_codelet *codelet, ...)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Create and submit a task corresponding to codelet with the following
arguments. The argument list must be zero-terminated.

The arguments following the codelet are the same types as for the
function starpu_task_insert(). Access modes for data can also be set
with ::STARPU_SSEND to specify the data has to be sent using a
synchronous and non-blocking mode (see starpu_mpi_issend()).
The extra argument
::STARPU_EXECUTE_ON_NODE followed by an integer allows to specify the
MPI node to execute the codelet. It is also possible to specify that
the node owning a specific data will execute the codelet, by using
::STARPU_EXECUTE_ON_DATA followed by a data handle.

The internal algorithm is as follows:
<ol>
<li>
        Find out which MPI node is going to execute the codelet.
        <ul>
            <li>If there is only one node owning data in ::STARPU_W mode, it will be selected;
            <li>If there is several nodes owning data in ::STARPU_W mode, a node will be selected according to a given node selection policy (see ::STARPU_NODE_SELECTION_POLICY or starpu_mpi_node_selection_set_current_policy())
            <li>The argument ::STARPU_EXECUTE_ON_NODE followed by an integer can be used to specify the node;
            <li>The argument ::STARPU_EXECUTE_ON_DATA followed by a data handle can be used to specify that the node owing the given data will execute the codelet.
        </ul>
</li>
<li>
        Send and receive data as requested. Nodes owning data which need to be read by the task are sending them to the MPI node which will execute it. The latter receives them.
</li>
<li>
        Execute the codelet. This is done by the MPI node selected in the 1st step of the algorithm.
</li>
<li>
        If several MPI nodes own data to be written to, send written data back to their owners.
</li>
</ol>

The algorithm also includes a communication cache mechanism that
allows not to send data twice to the same MPI node, unless the data
has been modified. The cache can be disabled (see \ref STARPU_MPI_CACHE).

\fn struct starpu_task *starpu_mpi_task_build(MPI_Comm comm, struct starpu_codelet *codelet, ...)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Create a task corresponding to \p codelet with the following given arguments.
The argument list must be zero-terminated. The function performs the
first two steps of the function starpu_mpi_task_insert(), i.e. submitting the
MPI communications needed before the execution of the task, and the creation of
the task on one node. Only the MPI
node selected in the first step of the algorithm will return a valid
task structure which can then be submitted, others will return <c>NULL</c>. The function
starpu_mpi_task_post_build() MUST be called after that on all nodes, and after the submission of
the task on the node which creates it, with the SAME list of arguments.

\fn int starpu_mpi_task_post_build(MPI_Comm comm, struct starpu_codelet *codelet, ...)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
MUST be called after a call to starpu_mpi_task_build(),
with the SAME list of arguments. Perform the fourth -- last -- step of
the algorithm described in starpu_mpi_task_insert().

the function.

\fn void starpu_mpi_get_data_on_node_detached(MPI_Comm comm, starpu_data_handle_t data_handle, int node, void (*callback)(void*), void *arg)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support

\fn void starpu_mpi_redux_data_prio(MPI_Comm comm, starpu_data_handle_t data_handle, int prio)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Similar to starpu_mpi_redux_data, but takes a priority \p prio.

\fn int starpu_mpi_scatter_detached(starpu_data_handle_t *data_handles, int count, int root, MPI_Comm comm, void (*scallback)(void *), void *sarg, void (*rcallback)(void *), void *rarg)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Scatter data among processes of the communicator based on the
ownership of the data. For each data of the array \p data_handles, the
process \p root sends the data to the process owning this data. Processes
receiving data must have valid data handles to receive them. On
completion of the collective communication, the \p scallback function is
called with the argument \p sarg on the process \p root, the \p
rcallback function is called with the argument \p rarg on any other
process.

\fn int starpu_mpi_gather_detached(starpu_data_handle_t *data_handles, int count, int root, MPI_Comm comm, void (*scallback)(void *), void *sarg, void (*rcallback)(void *), void *rarg)
\ingroup API_MPI_Support
Gather data from the different processes of the communicator onto the
process \p root. Each process owning data handle in the array
\p data_handles will send them to the process \p root. The process \p
root must have valid data handles to receive the data. On completion
of the collective communication, the \p rcallback function is called
with the argument \p rarg on the process root, the \p scallback
function is called with the argument \p sarg on any other process.
