From gilles at rist.or.jp Sun Mar 1 23:08:34 2020 From: gilles at rist.or.jp (Gilles Gouaillardet) Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2020 14:08:34 +0900 Subject: [Mpi-comments] User-Defined Reduction Operations: possible enhancement Message-ID: <738b0290-edbc-ad8a-948c-cce602f16645@rist.or.jp> Dear MPI Forum, In chapter 5.9.5 (User-Defined Reduction Operations), page 185 of MPI 3.1 and page 187 of MPI 2019 Draft, it reads : Advice to implementors. We outline below a naive and inefficient implementation of MPI_REDUCE not supporting the "in place" option. Strictly speaking, the outlined implementation is only valid for intra-communicators (and does not support the "in place" option), so you might consider amending this line before MPI 2019 is out. Best regards, Gilles
