.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fI\%MPI_Alltoall\fP is a collective operation in which all processes send the
same amount of data to each other, and receive the same amount of data
from each other. The operation of this routine can be represented as
follows, where each process performs 2n (n being the number of processes
in communicator \fIcomm\fP) independent point\-to\-point communications
(including communication with itself).

.sp
Each process breaks up its local \fIsendbuf\fP into n blocks \- each
containing \fIsendcount\fP elements of type \fIsendtype\fP \- and divides its
\fIrecvbuf\fP similarly according to \fIrecvcount\fP and \fIrecvtype\fP\&. Process j
sends the k\-th block of its local \fIsendbuf\fP to process k, which places
the data in the j\-th block of its local \fIrecvbuf\fP\&. The amount of data
sent must be equal to the amount of data received, pairwise, between
every pair of processes.
.sp
WHEN COMMUNICATOR IS AN INTER\-COMMUNICATOR
.sp
When the communicator is an inter\-communicator, the gather operation
occurs in two phases. The data is gathered from all the members of the
first group and received by all the members of the second group. Then
the data is gathered from all the members of the second group and
received by all the members of the first. The operation exhibits a
symmetric, full\-duplex behavior.
.sp
The first group defines the root process. The root process uses MPI_ROOT
as the value of \fIroot\fP\&. All other processes in the first group use
\fBMPI_PROC_NULL\fP as the value of \fIroot\fP\&. All processes in the second group
use the rank of the root process in the first group as the value of
\fIroot\fP\&.
.sp
When the communicator is an intra\-communicator, these groups are the
same, and the operation occurs in a single phase.
.SH USE OF IN-PLACE OPTION
.sp
When the communicator is an intracommunicator, you can perform an
all\-to\-all operation in\-place (the output buffer is used as the input
buffer). Use the variable MPI_IN_PLACE as the value of \fIsendbuf\fP\&. In
this case, \fIsendcount\fP and \fIsendtype\fP are ignored. The input data of
each process is assumed to be in the area where that process would
receive its own contribution to the receive buffer.
.SH NOTES
.sp
All arguments on all processes are significant. The \fIcomm\fP argument, in
particular, must describe the same communicator on all processes.
.sp
There are two MPI library functions that are more general than
\fI\%MPI_Alltoall\fP\&. \fI\%MPI_Alltoallv\fP allows all\-to\-all communication to and from
buffers that need not be contiguous; different processes may send and
receive different amounts of data. \fI\%MPI_Alltoallw\fP expands \fI\%MPI_Alltoallv\fPs
functionality to allow the exchange of data with different datatypes.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the return result
of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.
.sp
Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler associated
with the communication object (e.g., communicator, window, file) is called.
If no communication object is associated with the MPI call, then the call is
considered attached to MPI_COMM_SELF and will call the associated MPI error
handler. When MPI_COMM_SELF is not initialized (i.e., before
\fI\%MPI_Init\fP/\fI\%MPI_Init_thread\fP, after \fI\%MPI_Finalize\fP, or when using the Sessions
Model exclusively) the error raises the initial error handler. The initial
error handler can be changed by calling \fI\%MPI_Comm_set_errhandler\fP on
MPI_COMM_SELF when using the World model, or the mpi_initial_errhandler CLI
argument to mpiexec or info key to \fI\%MPI_Comm_spawn\fP/\fI\%MPI_Comm_spawn_multiple\fP\&.
If no other appropriate error handler has been set, then the MPI_ERRORS_RETURN
error handler is called for MPI I/O functions and the MPI_ERRORS_ABORT error
handler is called for all other MPI functions.
.sp
Open MPI includes three predefined error handlers that can be used:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBMPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL\fP
Causes the program to abort all connected MPI processes.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBMPI_ERRORS_ABORT\fP
An error handler that can be invoked on a communicator,
window, file, or session. When called on a communicator, it
acts as if \fI\%MPI_Abort\fP was called on that communicator. If
called on a window or file, acts as if \fI\%MPI_Abort\fP was called
on a communicator containing the group of processes in the
corresponding window or file. If called on a session,
aborts only the local process.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBMPI_ERRORS_RETURN\fP
Returns an error code to the application.
.UNINDENT
.sp
MPI applications can also implement their own error handlers by calling:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fI\%MPI_Comm_create_errhandler\fP then \fI\%MPI_Comm_set_errhandler\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fI\%MPI_File_create_errhandler\fP then \fI\%MPI_File_set_errhandler\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fI\%MPI_Session_create_errhandler\fP then \fI\%MPI_Session_set_errhandler\fP or at \fI\%MPI_Session_init\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fI\%MPI_Win_create_errhandler\fP then \fI\%MPI_Win_set_errhandler\fP
.UNINDENT
.sp
Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past
an error.
.sp
