public class CharacterItemBuf
extends CharacterBuf

Class CharacterItemBuf provides a buffer for a single character item sent or received using the Message Protocol (MP). While an instance of class CharacterItemBuf may be constructed directly, normally you will use a factory method in class CharacterBuf. See that class for further information.

Field Detail

item

public char item

Character item to be sent or received.

Constructor Detail

CharacterItemBuf

public CharacterItemBuf()

Construct a new character item buffer.

CharacterItemBuf

public CharacterItemBuf(char item)

Construct a new character item buffer with the given initial value.

Parameters:

item - Initial value of the item field.

Method Detail

get

public char get(int i)

Obtain the given item from this buffer.

The get() method must not block the calling thread; if it does, all message I/O in MP will be blocked.

Specified by:

get in class CharacterBuf

Parameters:

i - Item index in the range 0 .. length()-1.

Returns:

Item at index i.

put

public void put(int i,
                char item)

Store the given item in this buffer.

The put() method must not block the calling thread; if it does, all message I/O in MP will be blocked.

Specified by:

put in class CharacterBuf

Parameters:

i - Item index in the range 0 .. length()-1.

item - Item to be stored at index i.

getReductionBuf

public Buf getReductionBuf(Op op)

Create a buffer for performing parallel reduction using the given binary operation. The results of the reduction are placed into this buffer.

Specified by:

getReductionBuf in class Buf

Parameters:

op - Binary operation.

Throws:

ClassCastException - (unchecked exception) Thrown if this buffer's element data type and the given binary operation's argument data type are not the same.

sendItems

protected int sendItems(int i,
                        ByteBuffer buffer)

Send as many items as possible from this buffer to the given byte buffer.

The sendItems() method must not block the calling thread; if it does, all message I/O in MP will be blocked.

Specified by:

sendItems in class Buf

Parameters:

i - Index of first item to send, in the range 0 .. length-1.

buffer - Byte buffer.

Returns:

Number of items sent.

receiveItems

protected int receiveItems(int i,
                           int num,
                           ByteBuffer buffer)

Receive as many items as possible from the given byte buffer to this buffer.

The receiveItems() method must not block the calling thread; if it does, all message I/O in MP will be blocked.

Specified by:

receiveItems in class Buf

Parameters:

i - Index of first item to receive, in the range 0 .. length-1.

num - Maximum number of items to receive.

buffer - Byte buffer.

Returns:

Number of items received.
