One that works. Some versions of openmpi have problems although that is probably the best option for the future. There are some tricky issues with openmpi related to how your flavor of ssh works, there is no standard and some do not propogate kill commands which means that they can leave orphans.
An alternative is mvapich. In a benchmark that I did a few months ago the Intel mpi was much better for AVX instructions, but that may have changed. Openmpi is easy to compile; mvapich can be a little trickier. N.B., if you have fast connections, e.g. infiniband, they are more than fast enough and I have never seen this as rate limiting with Wien2k. With ethernet it matters.
