<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div dir="ltr">Here is the sample of information that I need. For example, in that paper for long messages (>=512KB) and any number of processes "allgather" uses the ring algorithm. Can anyone give me similar answer (algorithm used in MPICH2) for mpi_scatter (when we have long messages, and for both power of two and non power of two number of processes)?

I went through the paper of R. Thakur, et al., titled "Optimization of Collective Communication Operations in MPICH." It is stated there that for long messages mpi_bcast is composed of scatter and allgather (where latter two are based on the Van de Geijn's algorithm). However I wasn't able to find the mpi_scatter details. Could you please explain this? Also, the another thing is that I think for long messages (that are not divisible exactly by the number of processes) this part would use a scatterv + allgatherv. Am I right?
