Using Other MPIs
This section provides information on using other MPI implementations. Detailed
information on using Open MPI is provided in
Section 4 , and will be covered in this
Section in the context of choosing among multiple MPIs or in tables which
compare the multiple MPIs available.
Introduction
Support for multiple high-performance MPI implementations has been added.
Most implementations run over both PSM and OpenFabrics Verbs (see
Table 5-1 ). To choose which MPI to use, use the
mpi-selector-menu
command, as described in “Managing MVAPICH, and MVAPICH2 with the
mpi-selector Utility” on page 5-5 .
