Some questions about Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer/Cluster Editions for Linux
1) Am I correct, that there is now no "only Fortran version" (ifort w/o C) for Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition?
2) Composer Edition includes MKL, MKL library includes PBLAS, which may be used in cluster.
Intel MKL PBLAS is based on MPI. May I translate (using Intel C compiler) any free MPI library, or must use (and purchase therefore additionally to MKL) only Intel MPI ?
3) -coarray=distributed
This mode requires Parallel Studio Cluster Edition, which includes Intel MPI.
Is it possible now to use also free MPI (for example OpenMPI over Infiniband) ? ( I understand that Intel gives no such WARRANTY).
4) CAF Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Fortran Linux may work only with -coarray=shared
This software package don't includes MPI. Does this means that SMP-parallelization of images don't requires MPI ?
5) How many images may be accessed after CAF compilation with -coarray=coprocessor flag on 1-CPU server w/1 Intel MIC GPU
at heterogenous model ? (CPU_ncores + 61) images ? (w/o hyperthreading)
