								<p>An MPI program can <em>deadlock</em> if one process is waiting for a
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								message from another process that never gets sent.  To avoid deadlocks
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								when using FFTW’s MPI routines, it is important to know which
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								functions are <em>collective</em>: that is, which functions must
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<em>always</em> be called in the <em>same order</em> from <em>every</em>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								process in a given communicator.  (For example, <code>MPI_Barrier</code> is
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the canonical example of a collective function in the MPI standard.)
							 | 
						||
|

								<span id="index-MPI_005fBarrier"></span>

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>The functions in FFTW that are <em>always</em> collective are: every
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								function beginning with ‘<samp>fftw_mpi_plan</samp>’, as well as
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>fftw_mpi_broadcast_wisdom</code> and <code>fftw_mpi_gather_wisdom</code>.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Also, the following functions from the ordinary FFTW interface are
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								collective when they are applied to a plan created by an
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								‘<samp>fftw_mpi_plan</samp>’ function: <code>fftw_execute</code>,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>fftw_destroy_plan</code>, and <code>fftw_flops</code>.
