[mpich-discuss] IBM BG/Q collectives

Thank you for your quick response, Jeff!

I was wondering the values for "short" and "large" message sizes, they've
been used throughout the paper but not mentioned explicitly. Do you happen
to know if these values are explicitly mentioned somewhere?

Also, if I get the last algorithm name used for the MPI collective routine,
is there a way I can for sure tell which algorithm is being used? For
example, is there any name formatting convention that is used.

Sorry for so many questions. Any help with any of these questions will be
greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
Jen
