What
Switch from using pSync array with atomic increment to TL/UCP barrier for synchronization
Why ?
There are multiple reason to switch to this: (1) knomial barrier scales better and has better performance than atomic increment and (2) there can be instances where processes leave the alltoall collective before remote writes have been completed. In addition, when PR #1070 is merged, this allows usage of this algorithm with memory handles.
