See the MPICH project page. To use MPICH, you’ll use the module
tool.
You can see what versions are available by using:
[me@login01 ~]$ module avail mpich
------------------------------ /opt/modulefiles -------------------------------
mpich/3.3.1-gcc-8.3.1
Use "module spider" to find all possible modules and extensions.
Use "module keyword key1 key2 ..." to search for all possible modules matching
any of the "keys".
To load a specific version, you would use:
[me@login01 ~]$ module load mpich/3.3.1-gcc-8.3.1
while the "mpich" wildcard will load the default version, mpich-3.3.1-gcc-8.3.1 in this case.
You should now be able to run MPICH commands:
[me@login01 ~]$ mpicc --version
gcc (GCC) 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5)
