## 17.2.289.2. INPUT PARAMETERS

- `origin_addr`: Initial address of buffer (choice).

- `origin_count`: Number of entries in buffer (nonnegative integer).

- `origin_datatype`: Data type of each buffer entry (handle).

- `target_rank`: Rank of target (nonnegative integer).

- `target_disp`: Displacement from start of window to beginning of target buffer (nonnegative integer).

- `target_count`: Number of entries in target buffer (nonnegative integer).

- `target_datatype`: Data type of each entry in target buffer (handle).

- `op`: Reduce operation (handle).

- `win`: Window object (handle).

## 17.2.289.3. OUTPUT PARAMETER

- `MPI_Raccumulate`: RMA request

- `ierror`: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

## 17.2.289.4. DESCRIPTION

MPI_Accumulate is a function used for one-sided MPI communication that adds the contents of the origin buffer (as defined by origin_addr, origin_count, and origin_datatype) to the buffer specified by the arguments target_count and target_datatype, at offset target_disp, in the target window specified by target_rank and win, using the operation op. The target window can only be accessed by processes within the same node. This is similar to MPI_Put, except that data is combined into the target area instead of overwriting it.

Any of the predefined operations for MPI_Reduce can be used. User-defined functions cannot be used. For example, if op is MPI_SUM, each element of the origin buffer is added to the corresponding element in the target, replacing the former value in the target.

Each datatype argument must be a predefined data type or a derived data type, where all basic components are of the same predefined data type. Both datatype arguments must be constructed from the same predefined data type. The operation op applies to elements of that predefined type. The target_datatype argument must not specify overlapping entries, and the target buffer must fit in the target window.

A new predefined operation, MPI_REPLACE, is defined. It corresponds to the associative function f(a, b) =b; that is, the current value in the target memory is replaced by the value supplied by the origin.

MPI_Raccumulate is similar to MPI_Accumulate, except that it allocates a communication request object and associates it with the request handle (the argument request) that can be used to wait or test for completion. The completion of an MPI_Raccumulate operation indicates that the origin_addr buffer is free to be updated. It does not indicate that the operation has completed at the target window.

## 17.2.289.5. NOTES

MPI_Put is a special case of MPI_Accumulate, with the operation MPI_REPLACE. Note, however, that MPI_Put and MPI_Accumulate have different constraints on concurrent updates.

It is the user’s responsibility to guarantee that, when using the accumulate functions, the target displacement argument is such that accesses to the window are properly aligned according to the data type arguments in the call to the MPI_Accumulate function.

## 17.2.289.6. ERRORS

Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the return result of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.

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 MPI_Init/MPI_Init_thread, after MPI_Finalize, or when using the Sessions Model exclusively) the error raises the initial error handler. The initial error handler can be changed by calling MPI_Comm_set_errhandler on MPI_COMM_SELF when using the World model, or the mpi_initial_errhandler CLI argument to mpiexec or info key to MPI_Comm_spawn/MPI_Comm_spawn_multiple. 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.

Open MPI includes three predefined error handlers that can be used:

- `MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL` Causes the program to abort all connected MPI processes.

- `MPI_ERRORS_ABORT` An error handler that can be invoked on a communicator, window, file, or session. When called on a communicator, it acts as if MPI_Abort was called on that communicator. If called on a window or file, acts as if MPI_Abort 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.

- `MPI_ERRORS_RETURN` Returns an error code to the application.

MPI applications can also implement their own error handlers by calling:

- MPI_Comm_create_errhandler then MPI_Comm_set_errhandler

- MPI_File_create_errhandler then MPI_File_set_errhandler

- MPI_Session_create_errhandler then MPI_Session_set_errhandler or at MPI_Session_init

- MPI_Win_create_errhandler then MPI_Win_set_errhandler

Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.

See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.

See the Error Handling section of the MPI-3.1 standard for more information.
