Common bottlenecks
├── Load imbalance → dynamic scheduling (OpenMP) or redistribute MPI chunks
├── Serialization at rank 0 → tree-based reduce, parallel I/O
├── Excessive sync → replace Barrier with point-to-point where possible
├── Small messages → aggregate; use MPI_Pack or larger blocks
└── Alltoall on large process counts → consider MPI neighborhood collectives
