[mpich-discuss] Implementation of MPI blocking Send

[Darius Buntinas]

Sorry, there isn't, but you should be able to step through it with either a debugger, or using something like etags in emacs (you can find a wiki page on using etags with emacs here: http://wiki.mcs.anl.gov/mpich2/index.php/Etags ).

The base MPICH2 distribution contains two device implementations: CH3 and dcmfd.  The dcmfd device is specifically for BlueGene, so you can ignore that.  The MPID_ functions are implemented by the devices, so you can find them in src/mpid/ch3/src .

You can find these in src/mpid/ch3/channels/ .  Currently nemesis is the default channel.  Nemesis uses shared memory for intranode communication, and uses network modules for internode communication.  You can find the network modules in src/mpid/ch3/channels/nemesis/nemesis/netmod .  Information on the netmod API can be found here:
