DESCRIPTION:

These subroutines provide your program with access to the FMS memory manager.

The first step is to declare an array in your program that you will use to reference the allocated memory. There are currently two mechanisms used to do this.

  1. Machines supporting FORTRAN pointers
    If your machine supports the FORTRAN POINTER statement, the reference arrays are obtained by including the POINTER statements for the arrays and obtaining the pointer values by calling FMSIGT, as follows:
            POINTER (CMD_PTR, CMD)
            POINTER (RMD_PTR, RMD)
            POINTER (IMD_PTR, IMD)
            COMPLEX*16 CMD(0:1)
            REAL*8     RMD(0:1)
            INTEGER    IMD(0:1)
            ...
            CALL FMSIGT ('MEMPTR',CMD_PTR)
            CALL FMSIGT ('MEMPTR',RMD_PTR)
            CALL FMSIGT ('MEMPTR',IMD_PTR
    
  2. Machines not supporting FORTRAN pointers
    If your machine does not support the FORTRAN POINTER statement, the reference arrays are obtained as follows:
            COMMON CMD
            EQUIVALENCE (IMD, RMD, CMD)
            COMPLEX*16 CMD(0:1)
            REAL*8     RMD(0:1)
            INTEGER    IMD(0:1)
    
    On most machines, FMS automatically aligns BLANK COMMON on a 16-byte boundary. You should not be concerned if you use BLANK COMMON for other purposes. FMS does not store any data in CMD(0:1). It simply uses the arrays IMD, RMD and CMD as reference points for the allocated memory.
Once the reference arrays are established in your subroutine, you call FMSILG to allocate LEN integer words on each processor, starting at IMD(LOC) on processor 0 (Parent). Similarly you may call FMSRMG to allocate LEN REAL*8 words starting at RMD(LOC), or FMSCMG to allocate LEN COMPLEX*16 words starting at CMD(LOC).

The value of LOC returned is relative to the array value you provide on the call. For example, if you make the call:

        CALL FMSILG (IMD(10), LOC, LEN)
the allocated memory will start at IMD(10+LOC).

You may make the value of LOC be an actual subscript of the array by dimensioning the array to start at 0,

	INTEGER IMD (0:1)
Then when you call the memory allocation subroutine
	CALL FMSILG (IMD, LOC, LEN)
the allocated memory will start at IMD(LOC).

Examples

As an example, to allocate a vector for each processor X(NUMEQ) call FMSRLG as follows:
	LEN = NUMEQ
	CALL FMSRLG (RMD, LCPU1, LEN)
For processor N (where N=0 is the parent) the allocated memory is addressed as
	L = LCPU1 + LEN*(N-1)
	X(I) = RMD(L-1+I)
The memory will be local to processor N.

These routines are similar to FMSIMG, FMSRMG, and FMSCMG with the following differences:

  1. LEN is rounded up to be page length,
  2. LEN words are allocated on each processor,
  3. The allocated memory is placed locally next to the processor
