Using Pset Qualifiers

In Message Passing Prism (MP Prism), certain commands can take a set of processors, called a pset, as a qualifier; they are listed in Table 1-1. The format is

command pset set_name | set_definition

where set_name is the name of a pset and set_definition is the definition of an unnamed pset; see the define pset command for a discussion of how to define a pset.

Place this qualifier after any arguments to the command, but before the optional on window syntax that specifies the window to which output is directed (see the previous section). A command with a pset qualifier applies only to the processes in the set. If you omit the qualifier, the command applies to the processes in the current set.

The commands listed in Table 1-1 can take a pset qualifier.
