Hi, Thanks a lot for posting my question. I am using Vampire Trace (VT) library for performance diagnosis and enhancement. An excerpted output of the code profiling using VT looks like the following table where the bottleneck process is named 'sync' (in the first row). I did not know or use a function 'sync' in my MPI code. Can someone tell me how 'sync' enters the context of an MPI code and how one may do to mitigate the related bottleneck problem? Thanks so much for help.
