Selecting Library Configuration

You can specify a particular configuration of the IntelĀ® MPI Library to be used, depending on your purposes. This can be a library optimized for multi-threading debug or release version with the global lock.

To specify the configuration, run the mpivars.bat script with release or debug argument. For example:

> <installdir>\intel64\bin\mpivars.bat release

You can use the following arguments:

Argument

Definition

release

Set this argument to use multi-threaded optimized library (with the global lock). This is the default value

debug

Set this argument to use multi-threaded debug library (with the global lock)

Note

You do not need to recompile the application to change the configuration. Run the mpivars.bat script with appropriate arguments before an application launch.
