RHBA-2009:1519 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated mpitests package, built against the most recent versions of the
openmpi, mvapich, and mvapich2 packages, is now available.

Description

The mpitests package is a set of popular Message Passing Interface (MPI)
benchmarks and tests. It includes the IMB 2.3 and Presta 1.4.0 tests and
version 2.2 of the OSU benchmarks.

This updated package addresses the following issue:

• the mpitests package released as part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 was

compiled against versions of openmpi, mvapich and mvapich2 different to
those included as part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8. The mpitests
package in this update was compiled against the latest versions of openmpi,
mvapich, and mvapich2, correcting this error. (BZ#484126)

All OpenMPI users should install this updated package which fixes this
problem.
