Downloads directory.
1.5 was the last release of MPICH2. You have correctly decoded the numbering scheme.
Thanks for confirming this.
Is there a reason you want MPICH2-1.5 instead of MPICH-3.0.2? The latter should be almost strictly better...
I want to verify that one can build the official MPICH2 1.5 release on Blue Gene/Q. The MPICH2 1.5 source that one can get from IBM (via ALCF) should be the same, but I like to be sure rather than assume. It's also easy to provide directions relative to the MPICH download site rather than ask people to extract the source from the BGQ driver tarballs (two are required because IBM insists on putting all the GPL m4 code in a separate GPL-only tarball from the rest of MPICH). I have been able to compile MPICH 3.0.2 as well, but there are things missing in PAMID that cause it to unusable for RMA, for example. I will eventually try to reconcile these issues, but it isn't going to happen any time soon.
