My concern is that MPI_Allreduce is taking almost 27-30% of the total time used, which is a significant amount. So, I want to ask if anyone can suggest me better alternative/s to replace MPI_Allreduce which can reduce the time consumption.

Hi Hitesh,

What hardware are you running on and what is the interconnect?
Have you tried changing any of the MPI settings?
Can the reduction be done asynchronously?
