Notes

  1. 1.

    There are many communication modes for MPI. For the default communication mode, the sending process is finished before the corresponding received calls if there is enough buffer of communications. Hence if the buffer of communications is small, sending does not follow this behavior. Thus, the sending should be held until calling the corresponding receiver.

  2. 2.

    The Fujitsu PRIMEHPC FX100 system, which is installed in Information Technology Center, Nagoya University, has been supporting the overlapping between communications and computations by hardware, named assistant core , for dedicated hardware (CPU) for communications.

  3. 3.

    In this case, users should write a directive or describe a compiler option to know nondependency for the argument values to compilers. The readers can survey these directives and options in their compilers before using it.
