Detailed Description

This macro shows the usage of TMPIFile to simulate event reconstruction and merging them in parallel.

The JetEvent class is in $ROOTSYS/tutorials/io/tree/JetEvent.h,cxx

To run this macro do the following:

mpirun -np 4 root -b -l -q testTMPIFile.C

 
#include "TMPIFile.h"
 
#ifdef TMPI_SECOND_RUN
 
#include <chrono>
#include <sstream>
 
/* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The idea of TMPIFile is to run N MPI ranks where some ranks are
producing data (called workers), while other ranks are collecting data and
writing it to disk (called collectors). The number of collectors can be
configured and this should be optimized for each workflow and data size.
 
This example uses a typical event processing loop, where every N events the
TMPIFile::Sync() function is called. This call triggers the local TTree data
to be sent via MPI to the collector rank where it is merged with all the
other worker rank data and written to a TFile.
 
An MPI Sub-Communictor is created for each collector which equally distributes
the remaining ranks to distribute the workers among collectors.
