Collective communications compose a significant portion of the communications in many high performance applications. The multidestination message passing mechanism has been proposed recently for efficient implementation of collective operations by using a fewer number of communication phases. However, this mechanism has been only employed for improving the performance of non-personalized collective operations such as multicast. In this paper, we investigate whether multidestination message passing can also help personalized communications such as one-to-all scatter. We propose a new scheme, called Sequential Multidestination Tree-based (SMT) scheme, which takes advantage of the multidestination message passing mechanism and provide a better performance. For a range of system sizes and parameters, it is shown that the SMT scheme outperforms other known schemes for a wide range of message lengths.
