There is some overhead involved when activating the current C/R functionality in Open MPI due to the wrapping of the internal point-to-point stack. The wrapper (CRCP framework) tracks the signature of each message (not the buffer, so constant time for any size MPI message) so that when we need t

A call to MPI_Init allows the MPI library to return any level of thread support it chooses. This MPI 1.1 call does not let the application say what it wants and does not let the implementation reply with what it can guarantee. If you are using only one MPI implementation and your code will never
