MPI

OpenMPI

This is the primary and recommended MPI version. It supports Ethernet and InfiniBand interconnect, with InfiniBand set as default by means of an OMPI_MCA_… environment variable.

Intel MPI

MPICH/MPICH2

  • Not installed explicitly, but Intel-MPI is based on MPICH2 and provides an MPICH2 runtime environment for precompiled binaries.
