I am recently new to MPI and I have a question that Ihave been unable to
find the answer for in the materials and textbooks that I have, and I'm
hoping that someone can help me with this.

In MPI is there any way for a process to determine if a message has been
sent to it without initiating any sort of receive? What I'd like to do
is have a process periodically check if something has been sent to it,
and if so, recieve it. If not, continue working.

Thanks!
