Does it need to cut the data buffers to smaller sizes? Is there an easy way to do this? The reason I am asking is one of my distributed sort algorithm uses MPI_Alltoallv to distribute data after partitioning; it crashed when I tried to send in each process more than 2GB data.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div>--</div><div>Huiwei Lu<br><a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~huiweilu/">http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~huiweilu/</a></div></body></html>
