Actually, that wasn't the problem. My code is working now with no changes to it. Not sure what the problem was but it wasn't the called to MPI_Send blocking. Ed

'zactly correct.
You currently have an MPI_Wait on the sender side for no reason -- the request
is only filled in on the receiver. So you're waiting on an uninitialized
variable on the sender.
MPI_Send is a "blocking" send. MPI_Isend is a non-blocking send.
MPI_Recv is a blocking receiver. MPI_Irecv is a non-blocking receiver.
MPI_Send is more-or-less equivalent to MPI_Isend immediately followed by an
MPI_Wait on the corresponding request. Ditto with MPI_Recv / MPI_Irecv.
