Enim, Before going into all these efforts to implement a new function, let me describe what is there already and that you can use to achieve something similar. It will not be exactly what you describe, because changing a particular collective algorithm dynamically on a communicator might is not as

+1 on what George says. In general, the only MPI collective operation that *forces* an explicit, global synchronization is MPI_Barrier. Specifically: no process can exit the barrier until all processes have entered the barrier. In you example (MPI_Bcast), none of the non-root processes can exi

In this case the MPI_Bcast will act as a synchronization point, the slaves will be blocked in the call until the master do the operation. george. On Nov 18, 2012, at 15:54 , Sandra Guija wrote: > Hello, > Could someone be kind and explain me the MPI_Bcast when is call by all the > other pr

Xin, The collective calls are handled by the collective framework (mca/coll). You can export only the function you want (MPI_Bcast in your example) from your collective component. george. On Sep 27, 2011, at 05:43 , Xin He wrote: > Hi all, > > sorry that it takes so long for paper works of
