[mpich-discuss] Does MPICH implements polling mechanism on MPI_Recv?

[Balaji, Pavan]

This is expected.  Currently, the only way to not have MPICH poll is to configure with --with-device=ch3:sock.  Please note that this can cause performance loss (the polling is helpful for performance in the common case).

We are planning to allow this in the default build as well in the future.
