这是可能的,但是涉及到更多的“脚手架”——毕竟,您是在可能完全不同的计算机之间进行数据通信。
此类事情的协调是在可从其他处理器访问的数据窗口之间完成的,并且通过协调该数据访问的锁定/解锁操作来完成。锁并不是真正意义上的互斥锁,但它们更像是协调对窗口的数据访问的同步点。
我现在没有时间详细解释这一点,但下面是使用 MPI2 在没有共享内存的系统中执行共享内存标记之类的示例:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include "mpi.h"
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
int rank, size, *a, geta;
int x;
int ierr;
MPI_Win win;
const int RCVR=0;
const int SENDER=1;
ierr = MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
ierr |= MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
ierr |= MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);
if (ierr) {
fprintf(stderr,"Error initializing MPI library; failing.\n");
exit(-1);
}
if (rank == RCVR) {
MPI_Alloc_mem(sizeof(int), MPI_INFO_NULL, &a);
*a = 0;
} else {
a = NULL;
}
MPI_Win_create(a, 1, sizeof(int), MPI_INFO_NULL, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &win);
if (rank == SENDER) {
/* Lock recievers window */
MPI_Win_lock(MPI_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE, RCVR, 0, win);
x = 5;
/* put 1 int (from &x) to 1 int rank RCVR, at address 0 in window "win"*/
MPI_Put(&x, 1, MPI_INT, RCVR, 0, 1, MPI_INT, win);
/* Unlock */
MPI_Win_unlock(0, win);
printf("%d: My job here is done.\n", rank);
}
if (rank == RCVR) {
for (;;) {
MPI_Win_lock(MPI_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE, RCVR, 0, win);
MPI_Get(&geta, 1, MPI_INT, RCVR, 0, 1, MPI_INT, win);
MPI_Win_unlock(0, win);
if (geta == 0) {
printf("%d: a still zero; sleeping.\n",rank);
sleep(2);
} else
break;
}
printf("%d: a now %d!\n",rank,geta);
printf("a = %d\n", *a);
MPI_Win_free(&win);
if (rank == RCVR) MPI_Free_mem(a);
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
