Hi Pablo,

Thanks for looking into an update to iomkl.

My 2 cents: there will be an OpenMPI 3.1.0 release fairly soon, so maybe it's worth waiting for this?

I *think* that the main difference between OpenMPI 2.x and 3.x is support for MPI-3, so the major version bump doesn't need to be a signal of potential trouble...


regards,

Kenneth

    Hi,

    I plan to send a PR for iomkl-2018.02 and I wanted to ask for
    advice about what OpenMPI version should be included so it's
    accepted upstream.

    Latest OpenMPI version is 3.0.0 and I personally prefer to avoid
    new major releases ending in x.0.0 unless there is a clear reason
    like a new feature I need (which is not the case) so IMHO I would
    create iomkl-2018.02 using latest OpenMPI release in branch 2.x

    opinions?

    regards,
    Pablo.
