Hello Manfred, this is more a MPI-Standardization question, Open MPI happens to be (the only?) one implementation providing Peruse,
While there are people using Peruse event tracing to collect information on collectives in Open MPI, however, these are not in trunk. The specification itself has not been taken up as a basis in the MPI3 Forum. Withing the MPI3-Tools working group, there is an effort called PIMPI. Please check out https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/wiki/MPI3Tools and specifically: https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/wiki/MPI3Tools/pimpi With best regards, Rainer On Wednesday 12 August 2009 10:11:25 am Manfred Muecke wrote: > Hello *, > > I would like to understand in more detail how much time some collective > communication calls really spend waiting for the last process to enter.
