Syntax

broadcast[root]

Semantics

This type will broadcast a variable amongst the processes, with the root (source) being PID=root. The variable concerned must either be allocated to all or a group of processes (in the later case communication will be limited to that group.)

Example

function void main() {
   var a:Int::allocated[multiple[]];
   var p;
   par p from 0 to 3 {
      (a::broadcast[2]):=23;
   };
};

In this example process 2 (the root) will broadcast the value 23 amongst the processes, each process receiving this value and placing it into their copy of a.

Since: Version 0.41b
