This function gives the rank of the process in the particular communicator’s group. It is equivalent to accessing the communicator’s group with MPI_Comm_group, computing the rank using MPI_Group_rank, and then freeing the temporary group via MPI_Group_free.
Many programs will be written with the manager-worker model, where one process (such as the rank-zero process) will play a supervisory role, and the other processes will serve as compute nodes. In this framework, MPI_Comm_size and MPI_Comm_rank are useful for determining the roles of the various processes of a communicator.
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.
