But who is the best between the
intercommunicator and intracommunicator?

Is better use an
intercommunicator with Send/Recv or Bcast...
or is better use the
MPI_Intercomm_merge and to use the Send/Recv or Bcast inside the new
intracommunicator created?

I talk about the performance...is more
faster the inter or the intracommunicator?
Do they have the same
performance?The same speed?

Usually they do not have the same implementation due to differences in semmantics, the intercommunications can use highly optimized algorithms used in intracommunications but generally don't.

It is currently better in Open MPI to do a merge and use intracommunications.


Thanks,
  Graham.
