Declaration

void mpiPlatformSleep(int32_t   milliseconds)

Description

mpiPlatformSleep puts the current thread to sleep for the number of milliseconds specified.

Note: Different platforms have different time slice "quanta" (minimum sleep resolution) for threads. For example, Windows XP has a quanta of 10 ms. For example, even if mpiPlatformSleep(2) is specified, the actual sleep period will essentially be equivalent to mpiPlatformSleep(10).
