Sure, but broadcasts are faster - less reliable apparently, but much faster for large clusters. Jeff says that all OpenMPI calls are implemented with point to point B-tree style communications of log N transmissions So I guess that altoall would be N log N

I'm no MPI guru, nor do I completely understand what you are doing, but isn't this an allgather (or possibly an alltoall)? _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users
