| .SH NAME |
| \fBSCI_Group_create\fP \- Create a new group from a back end list |
| |
| .SH SYNTAX |

| |
| .SH C Syntax |
| .nf |
| #include <sci.h> |
| int SCI_Group_create(int \fInum_bes\fP, int *\fIbe_list\fP, sci_group_t *\fIgroup\fP) |
| |
| .SH INPUT PARAMETERS |
| .ft R |
| .TP 1i |
| num_bes |
| Number of back ends in the new group (IN). |
| .TP 1i |
| be_list |
| The back end id list of the new group (IN). |
| .TP 1i |
| group |
| The output group (OUT). |
| |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .ft R |
| This subroutine is used to create a new group from a back end list, the list contains |
| existed back end ids. The new \fIgroup\fP can be used for \fBSCI_Bcast\fP to specify |
| destination receivers. |
| .sp |
| This is a blocking call. The caller can assume \fIgroup\fP is ready to use upon the return |
| of the function. |
| .sp |
| For more information, please refer to SCI's online documents. |

| .SH EXAMPLE |
| .ft R |
| .nf |
| { |
| int i, num_bes; |
| sci_group_t odd_group, even_group; |
| int odd_size, even_size; |
| ... |
| SCI_Query(NUM_BACKENDS, &num_bes); |
| |
| odd_size = (num_bes - num_bes%2) / 2; |
| odd_list = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * odd_size); |
| for (i=0; i<odd_size; i++) { |
| odd_list[i] = i*2 + 1; |
| } |
| SCI_Group_create(odd_size, odd_list, &odd_group); |
| |
| even_size = (num_bes + num_bes%2) / 2; |
| even_list = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * even_size); |
| for (i=0; i<even_size; i++) { |
| even_list[i] = i*2; |
| } |
| SCI_Group_create(even_size, even_list, &even_group); |
| } |
