ring_mpi


ring_mpi, a FORTRAN77 code which estimates the time it takes to send a vector of N double precision values through each process in a ring.

Process 0 sends N double precision values to process 1, which passes them to process 2, and so on, until process P-1 sends them back to process 0. The time for this transmission is recorded. The experiment is repeated several times, and for several different array sizes N.
