The PC Gamess/Firefly: list of supported Linux MPI implementations

At present, the list of supported Linux MPI implementations is as follows:

• MPICH

• MPICH2

• LAM/MPI 7

• Open MPI v. 1.2.x

• MVAPICH/libibverbs

• MPICH-MX

• MPICH-GM

• Intel MPI v. 3.x

• Scali MPI

• Parastation MPI

• Infinipath MPI

• HP-MPI

The corresponding PC GAMESS/Firefly binaries are available in the Downloads section of the PC GAMESS/Firefly homepage. MPICH binaries exist in three forms, namely fully statically linked, statically linked with MPICH library only, and fully dynamically linked. All other binaries are fully dynamically linked and thus you need to compile and (or) install the particular MPI implementation you want to use with support of the shared libraries enabled. Note! As all the currently available PC GAMESS/Firefly versions are 32-bit executables, you need 32-bit shared libraries even if running on 64-bit system!
