Doesn't this serialize the I/O operation across the processors,
whereas MPI_Gather followed by rank_0 I/O may perhaps move
the data faster to rank_0, and eventually to disk
(particularly when the number of processes is large)?
oh, yes. I remember now why I thought of this. If the problem is large
enough you will run out of memory in the master machine (for me MPI-IO is
the way to go unless you're tied up with NFS). Off course one could always
send it by chunks, let the master write, then send other chunk...
abraco!
