MPI_Scatterv-nodes-short

In the MPI_Scatterv operation a root process distributes data to every node. In addition to MPI_Scatter a displacement and length can be given, which determine which data from the root process' buffer is send to the other nodes. It is intersting to see the extra costs compared to MPI_Scatter. We vary over the number of nodes. The messages have the length of 256 Bytes (for each node).
