.SH NAME
\fIshmem_broadcast4\fP(3),
\fIshmem_broadcast8\fP(3),
\fIshmem_broadcast32\fP(3),
\fIshmem_broadcast64\fP(3)
\- Copy a data object from a designated PE to a target
location on all other PEs of the active set.
.SH SYNOPSIS
C or C++:
.Vb
#include <mpp/shmem.h>
void shmem_broadcast32(void *target, const void *source,
size_t nelems, int PE_root, int PE_start, int logPE_stride,
int PE_size, long *pSync);
void shmem_broadcast64(void *target, const void *source,
size_t nelems, int PE_root, int PE_start, int logPE_stride,
int PE_size, long *pSync);
.Ve
Fortran:
.Vb
INCLUDE "mpp/shmem.fh"
INTEGER nelems, PE_root, PE_start, logPE_stride, PE_size
INTEGER pSync(SHMEM_BCAST_SYNC_SIZE)
CALL SHMEM_BROADCAST4(target, source, nelems, PE_root,
& PE_start, logPE_stride, PE_size, fIpSync)
CALL SHMEM_BROADCAST8(target, source, nelems, PE_root,
& PE_start, logPE_stride, PE_size, pSync)
CALL SHMEM_BROADCAST32(target, source, nelems,
& PE_root, PE_start, logPE_stride, PE_size, pSync)
CALL SHMEM_BROADCAST64(target, source, nelems,
& PE_root, PE_start, logPE_stride, PE_size, pSync)

.SH DESCRIPTION
The broadcast routines write the data at address source of the PE specified by
\fBPE_root\fP
to address \fBtarget\fP
on all other PEs in the active set. The active set of
PEs is defined by the triplet \fBPE_start\fP,
\fBlogPE_stride\fP
and \fBPE_size\fP\&.
The data is not copied to the target address on the PE specified by \fBPE_root\fP\&.
Before returning, the broadcast routines ensure that the elements of the pSync array are
restored to their initial values.
.PP
As with all SHMEM collective routines, each of these routines assumes that only PEs in the
active set call the routine. If a PE not in the active set calls a SHMEM collective routine,
undefined behavior results.
.PP
The arguments are as follows:
.TP
target
A symmetric data object with one of the following data types:
.RS
.TP
\fBshmem_broadcast8, shmem_broadcast64\fP: Any noncharacter type that
has an element size of 64 bits. No Fortran derived types or C/C++ structures are allowed.
.TP
\fBshmem_broadcast32\fP: Any noncharacter type that has an element size
of 32 bits. No Fortran derived types or C/C++ structures are allowed.
.TP
\fBshmem_broadcast4\fP: Any noncharacter type that has an element size
of 32 bits.
.RE
.RS
.PP
.RE
.TP
source
A symmetric data object that can be of any data type that is permissible for the
target argument.
.TP
nelems
The number of elements in source. For shmem_broadcast32 and
shmem_broadcast4, this is the number of 32\-bit halfwords. nelems must be of type integer.
If you are using Fortran, it must be a default integer value.
.TP
PE_root
Zero\-based ordinal of the PE, with respect to the active set, from which the
data is copied. Must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than PE_size. PE_root must be of
type integer. If you are using Fortran, it must be a default integer value.
.TP
PE_start
The lowest virtual PE number of the active set of PEs. PE_start must be of
type integer. If you are using Fortran, it must be a default integer value.
.TP
logPE_stride
The log (base 2) of the stride between consecutive virtual PE numbers in
the active set. log_PE_stride must be of type integer. If you are using Fortran, it must be a
default integer value.
.TP
PE_size
The number of PEs in the active set. PE_size must be of type integer. If you
are using Fortran, it must be a default integer value.
.PP
.TP
pSync
A symmetric work array. In C/C++, pSync must be of type long and size
_SHMEM_BCAST_SYNC_SIZE.
In Fortran, pSync must be of type integer and size SHMEM_BCAST_SYNC_SIZE. Every
element of this array must be initialized with the value _SHMEM_SYNC_VALUE (in C/C++)
or SHMEM_SYNC_VALUE (in Fortran) before any of the PEs in the active set enter
shmem_barrier().
.PP
The values of arguments PE_root, PE_start, logPE_stride, and PE_size must be equal on
all PEs in the active set. The same target and source data objects and the same pSync work
array must be passed to all PEs in the active set.
.PP
Before any PE calls a broadcast routine, you must ensure that the following conditions exist
(synchronization via a barrier or some other method is often needed to ensure this): The
pSync array on all PEs in the active set is not still in use from a prior call to a broadcast
routine. The target array on all PEs in the active set is ready to accept the broadcast data.
.PP
Upon return from a broadcast routine, the following are true for the local PE: If the current PE
is not the root PE, the target data object is updated. The values in the pSync array are
restored to the original values.
.SH NOTES
The terms collective and symmetric are defined in \fIintro_shmem\fP(3)\&.
.PP
All SHMEM broadcast routines restore pSync to its original contents. Multiple calls to SHMEM
routines that use the same pSync array do not require that pSync be reinitialized after the
first call.
.PP
You must ensure the that the pSync array is not being updated by any PE in the active set
while any of the PEs participates in processing of a SHMEM broadcast routine. Be careful to
avoid these situations: If the pSync array is initialized at run time, some type of
synchronization is needed to ensure that all PEs in the working set have initialized pSync
before any of them enter a SHMEM routine called with the pSync synchronization array. A
pSync array may be reused on a subsequent SHMEM broadcast routine only if none of the PEs
in the active set are still processing a prior SHMEM broadcast routine call that used the same
pSync array. In general, this can be ensured only by doing some type of synchronization.
However, in the special case of SHMEM routines being called with the same active set, you
can allocate two pSync arrays and alternate between them on successive calls.
.PP
.SH EXAMPLES
In the following examples, the call to shmem_broadcast64 copies source on PE 4 to target
on PEs 5, 6, and 7.
.PP
C/C++ example:
.Vb
for (i=0; i < _SHMEM_BCAST_SYNC_SIZE; i++) {
pSync[i] = _SHMEM_SYNC_VALUE;
}
shmem_barrier_all(); /* Wait for all PEs to initialize pSync */
shmem_broadcast64(target, source, nelems, 0, 4, 0, 4, pSync);
.Ve
Fortran example:
.Vb
INTEGER PSYNC(SHMEM_BCAST_SYNC_SIZE)
INTEGER TARGET, SOURCE, NELEMS, PE_ROOT, PE_START,
& LOGPE_STRIDE, PE_SIZE, PSYNC
COMMON /COM/ TARGET, SOURCE
DATA PSYNC /SHMEM_BCAST_SYNC_SIZE*SHMEM_SYNC_VALUE/
CALL SHMEM_BROADCAST64(TARGET, SOURCE, NELEMS, 0, 4, 0, 4,
& PSYNC)
