<a name="idp330253104"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>This allocator provides a standard C++ interface to the <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Alloc_mem</code> and <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Free_mem</code> routines of MPI-2. It is intended to be used with the containers in the Standard Library (<code class="computeroutput">vector</code>, in particular) in cases where the contents of the container will be directly transmitted via MPI. This allocator is also used internally by the library for character buffers that will be used in the transmission of data.</p>
<p>The <code class="computeroutput">allocator</code> class template only provides MPI memory allocation when the underlying MPI implementation is either MPI-2 compliant or is known to provide <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Alloc_mem</code> and <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Free_mem</code> as extensions. When the MPI memory allocation routines are not available, <code class="computeroutput">allocator</code> is brought in directly from namespace <code class="computeroutput">std</code>, so that standard allocators are used throughout. The macro <code class="computeroutput">BOOST_MPI_HAS_MEMORY_ALLOCATION</code> will be defined when the MPI-2 memory allocation facilities are available. </p>
