NAME

MPI_Irsend − Starts a ready-mode nonblocking send.

C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Irsend(const void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, int dest,

int tag, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Request *request)

Fortran Syntax

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE ’mpif.h’
MPI_IRSEND(BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, REQUEST, IERROR)


	<type>			BUF(*)

	INTEGER			COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, REQUEST, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax

USE mpi_f08
MPI_Irsend(buf, count, datatype, dest, tag, comm, request, ierror)

	TYPE(), DIMENSION(..), INTENT(IN), ASYNCHRONOUS :: buf*
	INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count, dest, tag
	TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype
	TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm
	TYPE(MPI_Request), INTENT(OUT) :: request
	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

INPUT PARAMETERS

	buf		Initial address of send buffer (choice).
	count		Number of elements in send buffer (integer).
	datatype		Datatype of each send buffer element (handle).
	dest		Rank of destination (integer).
	tag		Message tag (integer).
	comm		Communicator (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

	request		Communication request (handle).
	IERROR		Fortran only: Error status (integer).

MPI_Irsend starts a ready-mode nonblocking send. Nonblocking calls allocate a communication request object and associate it with the request handle (the argument request). The request can be used later to query the status of the communication or to wait for its completion.

A nonblocking send call indicates that the system may start copying data out of the send buffer. The sender should not modify any part of the send buffer after a nonblocking send operation is called, until the send completes.

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.
