Sorry, I seem to have misread your post. You're not actually invoking MPI_Alltoall or MPI_Alltoallv. Please disregard my last post.....

Hi,

I have encountered really bad performance when all the nodes send data
to all the other nodes. I use Isend and Irecv with multiple
outstanding sends per node. I debugged the behavior and came to the
following conclusion: It seems that one sender locks out all other
senders for one receiver. This sender releases the receiver only when
there are no more sends posted or a node with lower rank, wants to
send to this node (deadlock prevention). As a consequence, node 0
sends all its data to all nodes, while all others are waiting, then
node 1 sends all the data, …

What is the rationale behind this behaviour and can I change it by
some MCA parameter?

Thanks

Stephan
