 Set the size of locally held memory.
void * localdata ()
 Returns a pointer to the local data.

 This gives read access to the memory location. No locking is done.
void release_readonly (void *data, distsize_t offset, int size)
 This is called when read access is no longer needed.

Detailed Description

The ActiveMsgMemoryGrp abstract class specializes the MsgMemoryGrp class.

It uses active messages to implement global shared memory.


Member Function Documentation

void sc::ActiveMsgMemoryGrp::set_localsize ( size_t   )  [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 sc::MsgMemoryGrp.

void* sc::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.

Implements sc::MemoryGrp.

void sc::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.

Implements sc::MemoryGrp.
