A fun scenario was proposed in the MPI Forum today. What do you think this code will do?
MPI_Comm comm, save;
MPI_Request req;
MPI_Init(NULL, NULL);
MPI_Comm_dup(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &comm);
MPI_Comm_rank(comm, &rank);
save = comm;
MPI_Isend(smsg, 4194304, MPI_CHAR, rank, 123, comm, &req);
MPI_Comm_free(&comm);
MPI_Recv(rmsg, 4194304, MPI_CHAR, rank, 123, save, MPI_STATUS_IGNORE);

Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Midwest Open Source Software Conference (MOSSCon 2013). I met some fascinating people, listened to some great talks, and learned a bunch of new things.

- The general open source philosophy at Cisco
- My specific open source work at Cisco
The slides that I presented are below (slightly edited from their original form; I used a few animations in my original slides, which don’t work on Slideshare):

In a prior blog post, I talked about latency analogies. I compared levels of latencies to your home, your neighborhood, a far-away neighborhood, and another city. I talked about these localities in terms of communication.
Let’s extend that analogy to talk about data locality.
