Description

Hi, I am new to Timely Dataflow

I am so impressed by the design philosophy of Timely Dataflow.

Currently, I am investigating the performance impact of its asynchronous execution engine on
for some BSP-based algorithms such as PageRank.

Is there any way for me to disable 'asynchronous booster' in the system so that I can check the performance benefit of it?

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the asynchronous execution engine and its configuration in the Rust code, then check how BSP-based execution is selected or controlled. Done means establishing whether asynchronous transfer can be disabled and identifying the required implementation or documentation scope.
