Broadcast

event broadcast(void *buf, size_t count, datatype dtype, int root, const communicator &comm, const stream &stream, const broadcast_attr &attr = default_broadcast_attr, const vector_class<event> &deps = {})

Broadcast is a collective communication operation that broadcasts data from one rank of communicator (denoted as root) to all other ranks.

Return

ccl::event an object to track the progress of the operation

Parameters

  • buf: [in,out] the buffer with count elements of dtype serves as send buffer for root and as receive buffer for other ranks

  • count: the number of elements of type dtype in buf

  • dtype: the datatype of elements in buf

  • root: the rank that broadcasts buf

  • comm: the communicator for which the operation will be performed

  • stream: a stream associated with the operation

  • attr: optional attributes to customize operation

  • deps: an optional vector of the events that the operation should depend on
