MPI_Type_create_subarray

Creates a datatype describing a subarray of a multidimensional array

Synopsis

#include "mpi.h"
int MPI_Type_create_subarray(ndims, array_of_sizes, array_of_subsizes, array_of_starts, order, oldtype, newtype)
int          ndims;
int          *array_of_sizes;
int          *array_of_subsizes;
int          *array_of_starts;
int          order;
MPI_Datatype oldtype; 
MPI_Datatype *newtype;

Input Parameters

	ndims	number of array dimensions (positive integer)
	array_of_sizes	number of elements of type oldtype in each dimension of the full array (array of positive integers)
	array_of_subsizes	number of elements of type oldtype in each dimension of the subarray (array of positive integers)
	array_of_starts	starting coordinates of the subarray in each dimension (array of nonnegative integers)
	order	array storage order flag (state)
	oldtype	old datatype (handle)

Output Parameters

newtype: new datatype (handle)

Notes for Fortran

All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK) havean additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierris an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routinein C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with thecall statement.

All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype, MPI_Comm) are of type INTEGERin Fortran.
