Hi,

I wonder, whether there is a collective communication primitive
which does a cyclic shift (rotation) of data between processors 
of one group? Such kind of data exchange is used, e.g., for
matrix multiplication. 
If there is no such operation in MPI-1, is it planned for MPI-2?

Thanks,

Sergei
