Hello, I am trying to understand how the mpi_scatter is implemented according to MPICH2 for long messages. I went through the paper of R. Thakur, et al., titled "Optimization of Collective Communication Operations in MPICH." It is stated there that for long messages mpi_bcast is composed of scatter and allgather (where latter two are based on the Van de Geijn's algorithm). However I wasn't able to find the mpi_scatter details. Could you please explain this? Also, the another thing is that I think for long messages (that are not divisible exactly by the number of processes) this part would use a scatterv + allgatherv. Am I right? Thank you!
