# Naming Conventions

MPI-2 benchmarks have the following naming conventions:

Convention | Description
--- | ---
`Unidir/Bidir` | Unidirectional/bidirectional one-sided communications. These are the one-sided equivalents of `PingPong` and `PingPing`.
`S_` | Single transfer benchmark.
`C_` | Collective benchmark.
`P_` | Parallel transfer benchmark.
`expl` | I/O with explicit offset.
`indv` | I/O with an individual file pointer.
`shared` | I/O with a shared file pointer.
`priv` | I/O with an individual file pointer to one private file for each process opened for `MPI_COMM_SELF`.
`[ACTION]` | A placeholder for `Read` or `Write` component of the benchmark name.
`I` | Non-blocking flavor. For example, `S_IWrite_indv` is the nonblocking flavor of the `S_IWrite_indv` benchmark.
`Multi-` | The benchmark runs in the multiple mode.
