Quick review of MPI Message passing

Quick review of MPI Message passing

• Basic terms
  • nonblocking - Operation does not wait for completion
  • synchronous - Completion of send requires initiation (but not completion) of receive
  • ready - Correct send requires a matching receive
  • asynchronous - communication and computation take place simultaneously, not an MPI concept (implementations may use asynchronous methods)
