NAME

       MPI_Init_thread -  Initialize the MPI execution environment

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Init_thread( int *argc, char ***argv, int required, int *provided )

INPUT PARAMETERS

       argc   - Pointer to the number of arguments
       argv   - Pointer to the argument vector
       required
              - Level of desired thread support

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       provided
              - Level of provided thread support

COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS

       MPI  specifies  no command-line arguments but does allow an MPI implementation to make use
       of them.  See MPI_INIT for a description  of  the  command  line  arguments  supported  by
       MPI_INIT and MPI_INIT_THREAD .

NOTES

       The valid values for the level of thread support are:
       MPI_THREAD_SINGLE
              - Only one thread will execute.
       MPI_THREAD_FUNNELED
              -  The  process may be multi-threaded, but only the main thread will make MPI calls
              (all MPI calls are funneled to the main thread).
       MPI_THREAD_SERIALIZED
              - The process may be multi-threaded, and multiple threads may make MPI  calls,  but
              only  one  at a time: MPI calls are not made concurrently from two distinct threads
              (all MPI calls are serialized).
       MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE
              - Multiple threads may call MPI, with no restrictions.

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

       Note that the Fortran binding for this routine does not have the argc and argv  arguments.
       ( MPI_INIT_THREAD(required, provided, ierror) )

ERRORS

       All  MPI  routines  (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as
       the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.  Before the value  is
       returned,  the current MPI error handler is called.  By default, this error handler aborts
       the MPI  job.   The  error  handler  may  be  changed  with  MPI_Comm_set_errhandler  (for
       communicators),  MPI_File_set_errhandler  (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA
       windows).  The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but  its  use  is  deprecated.
       The  predefined  error  handler  MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be
       returned.  Note that MPI does not guarentee that an  MPI  program  can  continue  past  an
       error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_OTHER
              - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.
