See, I told you that would be a worthwhile test. > It looks like this is an MPI stack issue of some sort. I'll ping the > Open-MPI list and see what they think. That doesn't necessarily follow, if you are posing your sends before your receives then you are relying on unexpected message buffering within the MPI library. How much of this is available is up the the library, not the standard so I think it's possible that openmpi is being MPI compliant in both cases.
