Derived Datatypes<br />

› A derived datatype is a sequence <strong>of</strong> primitive<br />

datatypes and displacements<br />

› Derived datatypes are created by building on<br />

primitive datatypes<br />

› A derived datatype’s typemap is the sequence <strong>of</strong><br />

(primitive type, disp) pairs that defines the derived<br />

datatype<br />

› These displacements need not be positive, unique, or<br />

increasing.<br />

› A datatype’s type signature is just the sequence <strong>of</strong><br />

primitive datatypes<br />

› A messages type signature is the type signature <strong>of</strong><br />

the datatype being sent, repeated count times<br />
