Direct Known Subclasses:

CharacterArrayBuf_1

public class CharacterArrayBuf
extends CharacterBuf

Class CharacterArrayBuf provides a buffer for an array of character items sent or received using the Message Protocol (MP). The array element stride may be 1 or greater than 1. While an instance of class CharacterArrayBuf may be constructed directly, normally you will use a factory method in class CharacterBuf. See that class for further information.

Constructor Detail

CharacterArrayBuf

public CharacterArrayBuf(char[] theArray,
                         Range theRange)

Construct a new character array buffer.

Parameters:

theArray - Array.

theRange - Range of array elements to include in the buffer.

Method Detail

get

public char get(int i)

Obtain the given item from this buffer.

The get() method must not block the calling thread; if it does, all message I/O in MP will be blocked.

Specified by:

get in class CharacterBuf

Parameters:

i - Item index in the range 0 .. length()-1.

Returns:

Item at index i.

put

public void put(int i,
                char item)

Store the given item in this buffer.

The put() method must not block the calling thread; if it does, all message I/O in MP will be blocked.

Specified by:

put in class CharacterBuf

Parameters:

i - Item index in the range 0 .. length()-1.

item - Item to be stored at index i.

copy

public void copy(Buf theSrc)

Copy items from the given buffer to this buffer. The number of items copied is this buffer's length or theSrc's length, whichever is smaller. If theSrc is this buffer, the copy() method does nothing.

Overrides:

copy in class CharacterBuf

Parameters:

theSrc - Source of items to copy into this buffer.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - (unchecked exception) Thrown if theSrc's item data type is not the same as this buffer's item data type.

getReductionBuf

public Buf getReductionBuf(Op op)

Create a buffer for performing parallel reduction using the given binary operation. The results of the reduction are placed into this buffer.

Specified by:

getReductionBuf in class Buf

Parameters:

op - Binary operation.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - (unchecked exception) Thrown if this buffer's element data type and the given binary operation's argument data type are not the same.
