We have a medium sized
Hi all,
I've been trying to get overlapping computation and data transfer to
work, without much success so far. What I'm trying to achieve is:
NODE 1:
* Post nonblocking send (30MB data)
NODE 2:
1) Post nonblocking receive
2) do local work, while data is being received
3)

Hi,
I'm just in the progress of moving our application from LAM/MPI to
OpenMPI, mainly because OpenMPI makes it easier for a user to run
multiple jobs(MPI universa) simultaneously. This is useful if a user
wants to run smaller experiments without disturbing a large experiment
running in the
