NOTES:

Compiler commands are available only in the Intel® MPI Library Software Development Kit (SDK).
For the supported versions of the listed compilers, refer to the Release Notes.
Compiler wrapper scripts are located in the <installdir>\intel64\bin directory.
The environment settings can be established by running the <installdir>\intel64\bin\mpivars.bat script. If you need to use a specific library configuration, you can pass one of the following arguments to the mpivars.bat script to switch to the corresponding configuration: release or debug . The ordinary multi-threaded optimized library is chosen by default .Alternatively, you can use the I_MPI_LIBRARY_KIND environment variable to specify a configuration and source the script without arguments.
Ensure that the corresponding underlying compiler is already in your PATH. If you use the Intel® Compilers, run the compilervars.bat script from the installation directory to set up the compiler environment.
To display mini-help of a compiler command, execute it without any parameters.
