Question

我正在开发一个包含多个从属节点和一个主节点的项目。在某些时候，我需要从不同的从节点（主节点也可以被视为从节点）收集数据到主节点。数据可以是任何类型，但我们假设它是unsigned int。这就是数据在从属节点上的外观：

...

数据应全部收集到node0，如下所示：

这意味着我们将每个节点的第一个块连接在一起，然后将每个节点的第二个块连接在一起......

我不知道如何使用MPI_Gatherv实现这一点，因为每个chunkij都有不同的大小，每个节点只知道自己的块大小和起始索引，但不知道其他节点的信息。

我对MPI不太熟悉，所以我想知道是否有任何API可以从不同节点收集不同大小的数据到一个节点？

以下是您可以编辑的示例。几乎肯定不是解决问题的最佳方式 - 我需要更多代码细节来评论。我没有检查它是否编译，但是如果你修正了任何错别字，我很乐意尝试解决任何突出的错误。

我也不知道效率对你有多重要 - 这个操作会每秒进行数百次或每天进行一次吗？如果是后者，则此代码可能没问题。我也在假设C / C ++。

// Populate this on each node from MPI_Comm_rank.
int myRank; 
// Populate this on each node from MPI_Comm_size.
int P; 
// Num chunks per core.
const int M = 4;  

// I'm assuming 0 is the master.
int masterNodeRank = 0; 

// Populate this. 
// It only needs to have meaningful data on the master node. 
//If master node doesn't have the data, fill with MPI_GATHER.
int* sizeOfEachChunkOnEachRank[M]; 
// Populate this. 
//It needs to exist on every 'slave' node.
int sizeOfMyChunks[M]; 

// Assuming you already have this array
// it should be the contiguous store of each core's data.
unsigned* myData; 
// This is what we'll gather all the data into on master node only.
unsigned* gatheredData = new unsigned[totalDataSize];
// This array will keep all of the displacements from each sending node.
int* displacements = new int[P];

// This keeps track of how many unsigneds we've received so far.
int totalCountSoFar = 0;

// We'll work through all the first chunks on each node at once, then all
// the second chunks, etc.
for(int localChunkNum = 0; localChunkNum < M; ++localChunkNum)
{
  // On the receiving node we need to calculate all the displacements
  // for the received data to go into the array
  if (myRank == masterNodeRank)
  {
    displacements[0] = 0;

    for(int otherCore = 1; otherCore < P; ++otherCore)
    {
      displacements[otherCore] = displacements[otherCore-1] + sizeOfEachChunkOnEachRank[localChunkNum][otherCore-1];
    }
  }

  // On all cores, we'll need to calculate how far into our local array
  // to start the sending from.      
  int myFirstIndex = 0;

  for(int previousChunk=0; previousChunk < localChunkNum; previousChunk++)
  {
    myFirstIndex += sizeOfMyChunks[previousChunk];
  }

  // Do the variable gather
  MPI_Gatherv(&myData[myFirstIndex], // Start address to send from
              sizeOfMyChunks[localChunkNum], // Number to send
              MPI_UNSIGNED, // Type to send
              &gatheredData[totalCountSoFar], // Start address to receive into
              sizeOfEachChunkOnEachRank[localChunkNum], // Number expected from each core
              displacements, // Displacements to receive into from each core
              MPI_UNSIGNED, // Type to receive
              masterNodeRank, // Receiving core rank
              MPI_COMM_WORLD); // MPI communicator.

  // If this is the receiving rank, update the count we've received so far
  // so that we don't overwrite data the next time we do the gather.
  // Note that the total received is the displacement to the receive from the
  // last core + the total received from that core.
  if(myRank == masterNodeRank)
  {
    totalCountSoFar += displacements[P-1] + sizeOfEachChunkOnEachRank[localChunkNum][P-1];
  }
}

delete[] displacements;
delete[] gatheredData;

使用MPI和C ++从不同节点收集数据
