MPI_Abort(3) MPI MPI_Abort(3) NAME MPI_Abort - Terminates MPI execution environment SYNOPSIS int MPI_Abort(MPI_Comm comm, int errorcode) INPUT PARAMETERS comm - communicator of tasks to abort (handle) errorcode - error code to return to invoking environment (integer) NOTES Terminates all MPI processes associated with the communicator comm ; in most systems (all to date), terminates all processes. THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY The user is responsible for ensuring that multiple threads do not try to update the same MPI object from different threads. This routine should not be used from within a signal handler. The MPI standard defined a thread-safe interface but this does not mean that all routines may be called without any thread locks. For example, two threads must not attempt to change the contents of the same MPI_Info object concurrently. The user is responsible in this case for using some mecha- nism, such as thread locks, to ensure that only one thread at a time makes use of this routine. Because the MPI_Abort routine is intended to ensure that an MPI process (and possibly an entire job), it cannot wait for a thread to release a lock or other mechanism for atomic access. NOTES FOR FORTRAN All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr is an inte- ger and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call state- ment. All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran. ERRORS All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last ar- gument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error han- dler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible. MPI_SUCCESS - No error; MPI routine completed successfully. MPI_ERR_COMM - Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null communica- tor in a call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ). MPI_ERR_OTHER - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code. 4/10/2026 MPI_Abort(3)
