NAME

       MPI_Allreduce -  Combines values from all processes and distributes the result back to all
       processes

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Allreduce(const void *sendbuf, void *recvbuf, int count,
                         MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Op op, MPI_Comm comm)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       sendbuf
              - starting address of send buffer (choice)
       count  - number of elements in send buffer (integer)
       datatype
              - data type of elements of send buffer (handle)
       op     - operation (handle)
       comm   - communicator (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       recvbuf
              - starting address of receive buffer (choice)

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

       This routine is thread-safe.  This means that this routine may be safely used by  multiple
       threads  without the need for any user-provided thread locks.  However, the routine is not
       interrupt safe.  Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines  such  as
       malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

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

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

NOTES ON COLLECTIVE OPERATIONS

       The reduction functions ( MPI_Op ) do not return an error value.   As  a  result,  if  the
       functions  detect  an error, all they can do is either call MPI_Abort or silently skip the
       problem.  Thus, if you change the error handler  from  MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL  to  something
       else, for example, MPI_ERRORS_RETURN , then no error may be indicated.

       The  reason  for this is the performance problems in ensuring that all collective routines
       return the same error value.

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_ERR_BUFFER
              - Invalid buffer pointer.  Usually a null buffer where one is not valid.
       MPI_ERR_COUNT
              - Invalid count argument.  Count arguments must be non-negative; a count of zero is
              often valid.
       MPI_ERR_TYPE
              -  Invalid datatype argument.  Additionally, this error can occur if an uncommitted
              MPI_Datatype (see MPI_Type_commit ) is used in a communication call.
       MPI_ERR_OP
              - Invalid operation.  MPI operations (objects of type MPI_Op ) must either  be  one
              of the predefined operations (e.g., MPI_SUM ) or created with MPI_Op_create .

       MPI_ERR_COMM
              -  Invalid  communicator.   A  common error is to use a null communicator in a call
              (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ).
