Thanks for the reply, Ralph.
Now I think it is clearer to me why it could be so much slower. The reason
would be that the blocking algorithm for reduction has a implementation
very different than the non-blocking.
Since there are lots of ways to implement it, are there options to tune the
non-blo
One thing you might want to keep in mind is that “non-blocking” doesn’t mean
“asynchronous progress”. The API may not block, but the communications only
progress whenever you actually call down into the library.
So if you are calling a non-blocking collective, and then make additional calls

I tried to simplify the problem at the explanation. The "local_computation"

Surely non-blocking has overhead, and if the communication time is low, so
