This document describes the APIs provided by Yaksa to create datatypes. Similarly to MPI datatypes, Yaksa defines native (or builtin) datatypes as well as derived datatypes. Native datatypes are basic building blocks that Yaksa can use to construct arbitrarily complex data layout representations using Yaksa derived datatypes.
The document presents the datatype creation APIs and showcases examples for each of them. Pack and Unpack shows how the layouts presented in the examples can be used with pack and unpack routines.
int yaksa_type_create_contig(intptr_t count,
yaksa_type_t oldtype,
yaksa_info_t info,
yaksa_type_t * newtype)- Creates a contig layout.
- Parameters
- [in]
count: Number of elements of the old type - [in]
oldtype: Base datatype forming each element in the contig - [in]
info: Info hint to apply - [out]
newtype: Final generated type
- [in]
- Return values
- On success,
YAKSA_SUCCESSis returned. - On error, a non-zero error code is returned.
- On success,
The following example showcases the use yaksa_type_create_contig API to create a new contig layout.
#include <yaksa.h>
int main()
{
int rc;
int input_matrix[64] = {
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,

yaksa_type_t contig;
yaksa_init(YAKSA_INIT_ATTR__DEFAULT); /* before any yaksa API is called the
library must be initialized */
rc = yaksa_type_create_contig(64, YAKSA_TYPE__INT, NULL, &contig);
assert(rc == YAKSA_SUCCESS);
yaksa_type_free(contig);
yaksa_finalize();
return 0;
}The code snippet creates a new contig layout containing 64 signed integer elements, thus the contig layout covers all the elements in the input_matrix.

8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23,
24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31,

assert(rc == YAKSA_SUCCESS);
yaksa_type_free(vector);
yaksa_finalize();
return 0;
}The created vector layout contains 8 blocks, each made of 1 signed integer and with a distance between the first elements of two consecutive blocks of 8 signed integers. The same layout can also be obtained using yaksa_create_hvector by replacing the number of bytes in the stride with its number of bytes (i.e. 32). The vector layout covers all the elements of any of the columns in input_matrix. The following example shows the layout when it is applied to the beginning of input_matrix (the second column could be selected by applying the layout to input_matrix + 1):
/* input_matrix layout */ /* input_matrix + 1 layout */

The "h" in hvector stands for heterogeneous and refers to the fact that the stride does not have to be a multiple of the vector's base type length but can be any number of bytes. The following example showcases the use yaksa_type_create_hvector API to create a new hvector layout.
#include <yaksa.h>

NULL, &hvector);
assert(rc == YAKSA_SUCCESS);
yaksa_type_free(hvector);
yaksa_finalize();
return 0;
}The following example shows the layout when the hvector datatype is applied to the input_matrix:

This example shows how to use a resized vector datatype to perform a matrix transposition. A matrix transposition layout can be created using the following code.
#include <yaksa.h>
int main()
{
int rc;
int input_matrix[64] = {
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23,
24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31,
32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39,
40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47,
48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55,
56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63};
yaksa_type_t vector;
yaksa_type_t vector_resized;
yaksa_type_t transpose;
yaksa_init(YAKSA_INIT_ATTR__DEFAULT);
/* create a vector datatype for the elements in the matrix. The
* layout has 8 blocks (as the # of elements in a column), 1
* element per block and a stride between blocks of 8 elements
* (the # of elements in a row) */
rc = yaksa_type_create_vector(8, 1, 8, YAKSA_TYPE__INT, NULL, &vector);
assert(rc == YAKSA_SUCCESS);
/* change the extent of the datatype from 228 to 4 bytes so that the
* first element of a column starts after the first element in the
* previous instead of the last */
rc = yaksa_type_create_resized(vector, 0, sizeof(int), NULL, &vector_resized);
assert(rc == YAKSA_SUCCESS);
/* create a transpose layout by lining up a number of resized
* column layouts equal to the number of columns (i.e. 8) */
rc = yaksa_type_create_contig(8, vector_resized, NULL, &transpose);
assert(rc == YAKSA_SUCCESS);
yaksa_type_free(vector);
yaksa_type_free(vector_resized);
yaksa_type_free(transpose);
yaksa_finalize();
return 0;
}The previous code creates a vector type representing columns in input_matrix. After, it resizes the extent of the vector type using yaksa_type_create_resized. The extent marks the end of a datatype element and the beginning of the next, thus resizing the extent from the original 228 bytes to 4 can make columns interleave with each other in the final transpose layout, the resulting layout for input matrix follows.
/* input_matrix layout */
0 8 16 24 32 40 48 56
1 9 17 25 33 41 49 57
2 10 18 26 34 42 50 58
3 11 19 27 35 43 51 59
4 12 20 28 36 44 52 60
5 13 21 29 37 45 53 61
6 14 22 30 38 46 54 62
7 15 23 31 39 47 55 63Note that without the resizing of the extent the second row of the matrix would start with the element 57 instead of 1 and memory outside the matrix would be erroneously referenced after it.
Please also note that the same result, as for previous code, can be achieved by creating a hvector of the column vector as following shown.
#include <yaksa.h>
int main()
{
int rc;
int input_matrix[64];
yaksa_type_t vector;
yaksa_type_t hvector;
yaksa_init(YAKSA_INIT_ATTR__DEFAULT);
rc = yaksa_type_create_vector(8, 1, 8, YAKSA_TYPE__INT, NULL, &vector);
assert(rc == YAKSA_SUCCESS);
rc = yaksa_type_create_hvector(8, 1, sizeof(int), vector, NULL, &hvector);
assert(rc == YAKSA_SUCCESS);
yaksa_type_free(vector);
yaksa_type_free(hvector);
yaksa_finalize();
return 0;
}In this example the extent of the hvector type is set to sizeof(int). Thus, every vector element in hvector starts after the first integer in the previous vector element (4 bytes), effectively achieving the same interleaving as for the resized example.
