Re: [easybuild] Boost - reason for disabling MPI?

Hi Mikael, Loris, I concur with your user. Boost.MPI is miles ahead of anything MPI you can do in C++. It is very handy, but not many software packages are actually written in C++. I know of RepastHPC, a package written for agent based modeling, which uses it
