2. Is the MPI implementation significant? Would mpich behave potentiallydifferently here from openmpi?
For what it's worth, 2 separate upstreams (PETSc and FEniCS) both hold a dim view of openmpi, perceiving it full of bugs, which has certainly been the case so far with openmpi3. They recommend mpich.
We've already discussed transitioning mpi-defaults over from openmpi to mpich in the past. Now that openmpi3 is more or less settled in testing, is it time to open that discussion again?
