Hi,
for several days I am trying to create MPI derived datatype in order to
send/receive an user defined object. I'm trying to implement it using
MPI::Datatype::Create_struct.
I have consulted several threads from the archive
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2012/01/18093.php
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2005/08/0123.php
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2008/08/6302.php
but I'm still havening difficulties to solve this issue.
There are some particular features that makes the task more difficult. Let
me explain: the obj. that I want to transmit is instantiated from a class
called MemberBlock. This class is a template class and contains: dynamic
allocating arrays, and objs. instantiated from other classes. Bellow is the
class declaration.
Therefore how can I construct a MPI dervied data type in this situation?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated
Thank you,
Victor Pomponiu
