MPI_Comm_remote_size(3)

NAME
MPI_Comm_remote_size - Determines the size of the remote group associated with an intercommunicator.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_remote_size(MPI_Comm comm, int *size)

Fortran Syntax
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_COMM_REMOTE_SIZE(COMM, SIZE, IERROR)
	INTEGER	COMM, SIZE, IERROR

C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int Intercomm::Get_remote_size() const

INPUT PARAMETER

comm
    Communicator (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

size
    Number of processes in the remote group of comm (integer).

IERROR
    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
MPI_Comm_remote_size determines the size of the remote group associated with an intercommunicator.

The intercommunicator accessors (MPI_Comm_test_inter, MPI_Comm_remote_size, MPI_Comm_remote_group) are all local operations.

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.
