Technologies for handling message passing interface receive operations include a compute node to determine a plurality of parameters of a receive entry to be posted and determine whether the plurality of parameters includes a wildcard entry. The compute node generates a hash based on at least one parameter of the plurality of parameters in response to determining that the plurality of parameters does not include the wildcard entry and appends the receive entry to a list in a bin of a posted receive data structure, wherein the bin is determined based on the generated hash. The compute node further tracks the wildcard entry in the posted receive data structure in response to determining the plurality of parameters includes the wildcard entry and appends the receive entry to a wildcard list of the posted receive data structure in response to tracking the wildcard entry.
