Optimize MPI operations #20

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Several possible ways to optimize MPI part of the code: 1) use one buffer
for all MPI communications; 2) possibly use MPI_ALLTOALL and 'derived
datatypes' for block_transpose; 3) use 'persistent communication requests'
for repeated communications.

Another large area for possible optimization is file i/o using standard MPI 
functions. This can also be used to address issue 90 and issue 31.

Another interesting idea is "distributed arrays" data structures instead the 
manual distribution, as is done now. The advantage may be that MPI runtime will 
be aware of the exact exchanges to be performed inside a single node - they may 
be substantially optimized (sometimes even completely omitted). This may also 
address issue 137.
