mindspore.ops.Broadcast

class mindspore.ops.Broadcast(root_rank, group=GlobalComm.WORLD_COMM_GROUP)

Broadcasts the tensor to the whole group.

Note

The tensors must have the same shape and format in all processes of the collection. The user needs to preset communication environment variables before running the following example, please check the details on the official website of MindSpore.

Parameters

• root_rank (int) – Source rank. Required in all processes except the one that is sending the data.

• group (str) – The communication group to work on. Default: “GlobalComm.WORLD_COMM_GROUP”.

Inputs:

• input_x (tuple[Tensor]) - The shape of tensor is $(x_1,x_2,...,x_R)$.

Outputs:

Tensor, has the same shape of the input, i.e., $(x_1,x_2,...,x_R)$. The contents depend on the data of the root_rank device.

Raises

TypeError – If root_rank is not an integer or group is not a string.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend GPU
