[mpich-discuss] MPI_Put completed

[Rajeev Thakur]

But the target doesn't know that the win_unlock has completed on the origin, and that the data is ready to be accessed. You need some other way to indicate that.

In the other two synchronization methods (fence and post-start-complete-wait), the target calls a synchronization function and hence knows when the data transfer is complete.

In other words, how does the target process know if the put operation has completed?
