NAME

       icetSingleImageStrategy -- set the sub-strategy used to composite the image for a single tile.

Synopsis

       #include <IceT.h>

       void icetSingleImageStrategy(   IceTEnum   strategy  );

Description

       The  main  IceT  algorithms  are  specially designed to composite data defined on multiple tiles. Some of
       these algorithms, namely ICET_STRATEGY_REDUCE and ICET_STRATEGY_SEQUENTIAL, operate at least in  part  by
       compositing single images together. IceT also comes with multiple separate strategies for performing this
       single image compositing, and this can be selected with the icetSingleImageStrategy function.

       A single image strategy is chosen from one of the following provided enumerated values:

       ICET_SINGLE_IMAGE_STRATEGY_AUTOMATIC
               Automatically chooses which single image strategy  to  use  based  on  the  number  of  processes
              participating in the composition.

       ICET_SINGLE_IMAGE_STRATEGY_BSWAP
               The  classic  binary  swap  compositing  algorithm.  At each phase of the algorithm, each process
              partners with another, sends half of its image to its partner, and receives the opposite half from
              its  partner.  The  processes  are  then partitioned into two groups that each have the same image
              part, and the algorithm recurses.

       ICET_SINGLE_IMAGE_STRATEGY_RADIXK
               The radix-k acompositing algorithm is similar to binary swap except that groups of processes  can
              be  larger  than  two.  Larger  groups  require  more  overall  messages  but overlap blending and
              communication. The size of the groups is indirectly controlled  by  the  ICET_MAGIC_K  environment
              variable or CMake variable.

       ICET_SINGLE_IMAGE_STRATEGY_TREE
               At  each  phase,  each  process  partners with another, and one of the processes sends its entire
              image to the other. The algorithm recurses with the group of processes that received images  until
              only one process has an image.

       By  default IceT sets the single image strategy to ICET_SINGLE_IMAGE_STRATEGY_AUTOMATIC when a context is
       created. This is the single image strategy that will be used if no other is selected.

Errors

       ICET_INVALID_ENUM
               The strategy argument does not represent a valid single image strategy.

Warnings

       None.

Bugs

       None known.
