Thanks for the clarification.
But this strikes me more as a question about the MPI standard than about
the Open MPI implementation. That is, what you really want is for the
MPI API to support a non-blocking form of collectives. You want control
to return to the user program before the barrier/bcast/etc. operation
has completed. That's an API change.
