Detailed Description

Channel class for asynchronous communication.

Channel class defines communication channel between sender and receiver for asynchronous data transfer. It actually provides a half-channel of sender part or receiver part. This class wraps MPI persistent communication, as well as send/receive buffer.

An instance of channel class is generated through Communicator send_int() and recv_init() methods. To access the buffer, operator[] is provided as if it is an ordinary container or array.

start() method to start async data transfer, and wait() method to wait for the completion of operation. the channel instance will be re-used repeatedly for the same communication channel once it is created.
