Introduction

In general the Java binding of point-to-point communication operations will realize the MPI functions as methods of the Comm class. The basic point-to-point communication operations are send and receive. Their use is illustrated in the example below.

  import mpi.* ;

  class Hello {
    static public void main(String[] args) {
      MPI.init(args) ;

      int myrank = MPI.COMM_WORLD.rank() ;
      if(myrank == 0) {
        char [] message = "Hello, there".toCharArray() ;
        MPI.COMM_WORLD.send(message, 0, message.length, MPI.CHAR, 1, 99) ;
      }
      else {
        char [] message = new char [20] ;
        MPI.COMM_WORLD.recv(message, 0, 20, MPI.CHAR, 0, 99) ;
        System.out.println("received:" + new String(message) + ":") ;
      }

      MPI.finish();
    }
  }
