Foil 22 Implementation of MPSHIFT(+1, SOURCE,DEST)

From CPS615 Laplace Example -- Programming Models and Performance CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Consider for example, shift to right
Then Processors 0 .. Nproc-2 Send to right
    • Processors 1 .. Nproc-1 Receive from left
We can't necessarily send all messages and then receive all messages. "Standard" send can be "blocking" i.e. will not return unless receive completed by destination processor. In this case, we can deadlock as all "hang" after send, waiting for receive
So we are more careful
