Detailed Description

Multiprocessing communication superclass.

vtkMultiProcessController is used to control multiple processes/threads in a shared memory/distributed computing environment. It has methods for executing single/multiple method(s) on multiple processors, triggering registered callbacks (Remote Methods) (AddRMI(), TriggerRMI()) and communication. Please note that the communication is done using the communicator which is accessible to the user. Therefore it is possible to get the communicator with GetCommunicator() and use it to send and receive data. This is the encoured communication method. The internal (RMI) communications are done using a second internal communicator (called RMICommunicator). For the threaded controllers, this is identical to the user communicator. However, for the MPI controller, this is a communicator which shares the same process group as the user communicator but uses a different context. Therefore, the user and the internal communications can not interfere with each other (even if the same message tag is used).

Attention:: The internal behavior can be changed using the environment variable: VTK_CONTROLLER ( can be 'MPI' or 'Threaded' ). By defaut a vtkDummyController is created

Reimplemented in vtkSocketController.

virtual int vtkMultiProcessController::GetNumberOfProcesses ( ) [virtual]

Implemented in vtkDummyController, vtkMPIController, vtkSocketController, and vtkThreadedController.

void vtkMultiProcessController::SetMultipleMethod ( int index,

vtkProcessFunctionType ,

void * data

)

Set the MultipleMethod to f() and the UserData of the for the method to be executed by the process index when MultipleMethodExecute is called. This is for having each process start with a different function and data argument.

Tells you which process [0, NumProcess) you are in.
Reimplemented in vtkDummyController, and vtkThreadedController.

vtkMultiProcessController* vtkMultiProcessController::GetGlobalController ( ) [static]

This method can be used to tell the controller to create a special output window in which all messages are preceded by the process id.
Implemented in vtkDummyController, vtkMPIController, vtkSocketController, and vtkThreadedController.

virtual void vtkMultiProcessController::SetForceDeepCopy ( int ) [virtual]

By default, sending objects use shallow copy whenever possible. This flag forces the controller to use deep copies instead. This is necessary when asynchronous processing occurs (i.e. pipeline parallelism). This is only important when using vtkThreadedController.

virtual int vtkMultiProcessController::GetForceDeepCopy ( ) [virtual]

By default, sending objects use shallow copy whenever possible. This flag forces the controller to use deep copies instead. This is necessary when asynchronous processing occurs (i.e. pipeline parallelism). This is only important when using vtkThreadedController.
