- a thin layer, using a bit boost::mpi (for the communicator mostly ...)
along the lines discussed in #12.
- implemented reduce, allreduce, bcast for arrays, simple scalars,
and any custom type that support boost serialization.
- Custom types : the operations are done recursively on members.
No change is needed in the class to use this mpi routine, as long as
serialize function is defined.
- For arrays of basic types (int, double...), a direct call to MPI C API, which works also for views
(as long as they are contiguous).
- For arrays of more complex types, we revert to boost::mpi.
- Added a simple test.
- Work still in progress :
- missing a simple scatter/gather for the arrays
- need more tests & API thinking.
- dispatch array code to array lib
- reduce is "sum" only, but do we need more.
