If that is the operation you are looking for, then MPI_Scan is sufficient. Your original email was somewhat cryptic; the phrase "When each task returns its result (which would be array) master task needs to combine all the results to get the final result." led me to believe that you might just need MPI_Reduce, instead. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
