[mpich-discuss] non-blocking communication and subarray data type

[Jim Dinan]

Hi Burlen,

You can free the datatype as soon as you are finished using it.  MPI 
will internally maintain a reference to the datatype so that it is not 
actually freed until both the MPI library and the application code are 
finished using it.
