[edit] Fault Description

In a distributed architecture, an inadequate communication patern leads to a performance overhead. For example:

  • Using a star pattern for a nearest-neighbor problem makes the root process a bottleneck.
  • Using point-to-point communication functions such as send/recv for collective communication is not as efficient as the functions specialized for collective operations such as join/reduce.
