[mvapich-discuss] Any success stories for the mvapich2/intel pair for spack and/or easybuild?

[Åke Sandgren]

What I meant below is that the Intel + mvapich doesn't exist as a
toolchain definition in the framework.

This can be fixed fairly easy, but it won't make it into the 3.7.0
release of EasyBuild.

If you really want it, please join the easybuild mailing list and make a
request. Or go to the easybuilders github repo and add an issue in the
easybuild-framework repo.
