NAME

       MPI_Ibsend - Starts a nonblocking buffered send.

SYNTAX


C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Ibsend(void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype,
            int dest, int tag, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Request *request)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_IBSEND(BUF, COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, REQUEST, IERROR)
            <type>    BUF(*)
            INTEGER   COUNT, DATATYPE, DEST, TAG, COMM, REQUEST, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       Request Comm::Ibsend(const void* buf, int count, const
            Datatype& datatype, int dest, int tag) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       buf       Initial address of send buffer (choice).

       count     Number of elements in send buffer (integer).

       datatype  Data type 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).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Ibsend  posts  a buffered-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 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 access 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
       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.
