6 /* This example shows how to use simgrid::s4u::Mailbox::ready() to check for completed communications.
8 * We have a number of peers which send and receive messages in two phases:
9 * -> sending phase: each one of them sends a number of messages to the others followed
10 * by a single "finalize" message.
11 * -> receiving phase: each one of them receives all the available messages that reached
12 * their corresponding mailbox until it has all the needed "finalize"
13 * messages to know that no more work needs to be done.
15 * To avoid doing a wait() over the ongoing communications, each peer makes use of the
16 * simgrid::s4u::Mailbox::ready() method. If it returns true then a following get() will fetch the
17 * message immediately, if not the peer will sleep for a fixed amount of time before checking again.
