Detailed Description

The ActiveMsgMemoryGrp abstract class specializes the MsgMemoryGrp class.

It uses active messages to implement global shared memory.

Member Function Documentation

void* ActiveMsgMemoryGrp::obtain_readwrite ( distsize_t offset, int size ) [virtual]

Only one thread can have an unreleased obtain_readwrite at a time. The actual memory region locked can be larger than that requested. If the memory region is already locked this will block. For this reason, data should be held as read/write for as short a time as possible. Reimplemented from MemoryGrp.

void ActiveMsgMemoryGrp::release_readwrite ( void * data, distsize_t offset, int size ) [virtual]

This is called when read/write access is no longer needed. The memory will be unlocked. Reimplemented from MemoryGrp.

void ActiveMsgMemoryGrp::set_localsize ( int localsize ) [virtual]

Set the size of locally held memory. When memory is accessed using a global offset counting starts at node 0 and proceeds up to node n() - 1. Reimplemented from MsgMemoryGrp.
