Directions for data synchronization in a distributed N-dimensional array.
It is treated as bitfield, i.e. the elementary enumerators represent individual bits and compound enumerators are obtained by combining bits from relevant elementary enumerators.
| Enumerator |
|---|
| All | special value – synchronize in all directions
|
| None | special value – no synchronization
|
| Right | synchronization from left to right (N >= 1, positive x-axis)
|
| Left | synchronization from right to left (N >= 1, negative x-axis)
|
| Top | synchronization from bottom to top (N >= 2, positive y-axis)
|
| Bottom | synchronization from top to bottom (N >= 2, negative y-axis)
|
| Front | synchronization from back to front (N >= 3, positive z-axis)
|
| Back | synchronization from front to back (N >= 3, negative z-axis)
|
| TopRight | synchronization in the top-right direction
|
