No, the request object will get released fine when the data transfer completes. It is a correct program. What I meant is that, since the application never knows when the request completes, the user application cannot use the data in any meaningful way, IMO. -- Pavan

Pavan,
Thanks. You mean since I don't call MPI_Wait at all, the request object does not get a chance to be released by the MPI library? Right? I will give it a try. Thanks again!

You can free the request with MPI_Request_free if you don't want to wait on it. I have no idea how you'll write a correct program without waiting for receive completions at least, though.

Hi Junchao,
Thanks for your reply. For my case, I don't want to check the data have been received or not. So I don't want to call MPI_Test or any function to verify it. But my problem is like if I ignore calling the MPI_Wait, just call Isend/Irev, my program freezes for several sec and then continues to run. My guess is probably I messed up the MPI library internal buffer by doing this.

But in my case, I don't really care what kind of data I get or it is ready to use or not. So I don't want to waste my time to do any synchronization by calling MPI_Wait or etc API.
But when I avoid calling MPI_Wait, my program is freezed several secs after running some iterations (after multiple MPI_Isend/Irev callings), then continues. It takes even more time than the case with MPI_Wait. So my question is how to do a "true" non-blocking communication without waiting for the data ready or not. Thanks.
