========
mpi list
========

This package implements the `DFM` class.

The `DFM` is a useful abstraction for working with
lists distributed over a set of MPI ranks.
The acronym stands for distributed free monoid,
which is just a fancy way to say it's a list.

If you're familiar with spark, it's like an RDD,
but only holds a list.

Quick Start
===========

.. code-block::

from mpi_list import Context, DFM

C = Context() # calls MPI_Init via mpi4py

# After each of the three lines below:
# 1. each rank now has 1000//C.procs consecutive numbers
# 2. each rank now has a list of strings
# 3. only numbers containing a '2' remain
dfm = C . iterates(1000) \
. map(lambda i: f"String {i}") \
. filter(lambda s: '2' in s)

if C.rank == 0:
# Caution! Uncommenting this will deadlock your program.
# Collective calls must be called by all ranks!
#print( dfm . head(10) )
pass

# This is OK, since all ranks now have 'ans'
ans = dfm.head(10)
if C.rank == 0:
print( ans )

ans = dfm . filter(lambda s: len(s) <= len("String nn")) \
. collect()
if ans is not None: # only rank 0 gets "collect"
print( ans )

Launch your program with `mpirun python my_prog.py`.

If you're using a supercomputer, consider installing
`spindle `_,
and then use `spindle mpirun python my_prog.py`.
