◆ Destroy()

Deletes storage used by the parallel environment.

References NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

◆ Disable()

void ns3::NullMessageMpiInterface::Disable ( )
overridevirtual

Clean up the ns-3 parallel communications interface.

MPI_Finalize will be called only if Enable (int* pargc, char*** pargv) was called.

Implements ns3::ParallelCommunicationInterface.

◆ Enable() [1/2]

void ns3::NullMessageMpiInterface::Enable ( int * pargc,
char *** pargv )
overridevirtual

Setup the parallel communication interface.

There are two ways to setup the communications interface. This Enable method is the easiest method and should be used in most situations.

Disable() must be invoked at end of an ns-3 application to properly cleanup the parallel communication interface.

This method will call MPI_Init and configure ns-3 to use the MPI_COMM_WORLD communicator.

For more complex situations, such as embedding ns-3 with other MPI simulators or libraries, the Enable(MPI_Comm communcicator) may be used if MPI is initialized externally or if ns-3 needs to be run unique communicator. For example if there are two parallel simulators and the goal is to run each simulator on a different set of ranks.

Note
The `SimulatorImplementationType attribute in ns3::GlobalValues must be set before calling Enable()
Parameters
pargcnumber of command line arguments
pargvcommand line arguments

Send a Null Message to across the specified bundle.

Null Messages are sent when a packet has not been sent across this bundle in order to allow time advancement on the remote MPI task.

Parameters
[in]guaranteeUpdateLower bound time on the next possible event from this MPI task to the remote MPI task across the bundle. Remote task may execute events up to this time.
[in]bundleThe bundle of links between two ranks.
Internal: The Null Message MPI buffer format uses the same packet
metadata format as sending a normal packet with the time, destination node, and destination device set to zero. Using the same packet metadata simplifies receive logic.
