<p>This is another example of writing data into disconnected locations in a file. Each process writes data from the contiguous buffer into regularly scattered locations in the file.</p>
<p>Each process defines a hyperslab in the file as described below and writes data to it. The C and Fortran 90 examples below result in the same data layout in the file.</p>
<table class="doxtable">
<tr>
<th><b>Figure a</b> C Example</th><th><b>Figure b</b> Fortran Example</th></tr>
<tr>
<td><div class="image">
<img src="ppatt_figa.gif" alt=""/>
</div>
</td><td><div class="image">
<img src="ppatt_figb.gif" alt=""/>
</div>
</td></tr>
</table>
<p>The C and Fortran 90 examples use four processes to write the pattern shown above. Each process defines a hyperslab by: </p><ul>
<li>Specifying a stride of 2 for each dimension, which indicates that you wish to write to every other position along a dimension. </li>
<li>Specifying a different offset for each process: <table class="doxtable">
<tr>
<th rowspan="3"><b>C</b></th><th>Process 0</th><th>Process 1</th><th>Process 2</th><th>Process 3</th></tr>
<tr>
<td>offset[0] = 0</td><td>offset[0] = 1</td><td>offset[0] = 0</td><td>offset[0] = 1</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>offset[1] = 0</td><td>offset[1] = 0</td><td>offset[1] = 1</td><td>offset[1] = 1</td></tr>
<tr>
<th rowspan="3"><b>Fortran</b></th><th>Process 0</th><th>Process 1</th><th>Process 2</th><th>Process 3</th></tr>
<tr>
<td>offset(1) = 0</td><td>offset(1) = 0</td><td>offset(1) = 1</td><td>offset(1) = 1</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>offset(2) = 0</td><td>offset(2) = 1</td><td>offset(2) = 0</td><td>offset(2) = 1</td></tr>
</table>
</li>
<li>Specifying the size of the slab to write. The count is the number of positions along a dimension to write to. If writing a 4 x 2 slab, then the count would be: <table class="doxtable">
<tr>
<th><b>C</b></th><th>Fortran</th></tr>
<tr>
<td>count[0] = 4</td><td>count(1) = 2</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>count[1] = 2</td><td>count(2) = 4</td></tr>
</table>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, the offset, count, and stride parameters for Process 2 would look like: </p><table class="doxtable">
<tr>
<th><b>Figure a</b> C Example</th><th><b>Figure b</b> Fortran Example</th></tr>
<tr>
<td><div class="image">
<img src="ppatt_figc.gif" alt=""/>
</div>
</td><td><div class="image">
<img src="ppatt_figd.gif" alt=""/>
</div>
</td></tr>
