A profiler can accumulate the total amount of data sent by the MPI_SEND function, along with the total elapsed time spent in the function as the following example shows:
Example
static int totalBytes = 0; static double totalTime = 0.0; int MPI_Send(const void* buffer, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, int dest, int tag, MPI_Comm comm) { double tstart = MPI_Wtime(); /* Pass on all arguments */ int size; int result = PMPI_Send(buffer,count,datatype,dest,tag,comm); totalTime += MPI_Wtime() - tstart; /* and time */ MPI_Type_size(datatype, &size); /* Compute size */ totalBytes += count*size; return result; }
