I assume you're doing more than just allocate/mpi_recv/deallocate. :-) I don't know what A(i) is, so it's hard to say whether this is correct or not. > Will this cause any problem using this way to introducing QRECS?

But I will try your suggestion. Depending on how big the arrays are, it may still be faster/simpler to gather(v) to a single array and copy to the final array. Shrug. It depends on what your program is doing, and whether that is wort it to you. To be clear: either way should work fine; there may or may not be coding and/or performance implications of each. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
