Description
We need to look into benchmarking and performance modeling for our 2-D and 3-D Side exchange methods. For the MPI implementations, there are some things that I know could be improved
- [ ] Move the `MPI_Waitall` calls further from the isend/irecv pairs to overlap more computation with communication
- [ ] Create an indexed MPI type (`MPI_Type_Create_Indexed`) to allow MPI the opportunity to find a more optimal way to pass pt2pt messages
- [ ] Use `MPI_Dist_Graph_create_adjacent` with the mesh and communication topology to allow MPI to place processes on hardware more optimally.
To start, we need a baseline for scaling and side exchange runtimes in order to assess the impact of each of these changes.
