adam 1fa410e276 openmpi: updated to 1.10.7
1.10.7:
- Fix bug in TCP BTL that impacted performance on 10GbE (and faster)
  networks by not adjusting the TCP send/recv buffer sizes and using
  system default values
- Add missing MPI_AINT_ADD and MPI_AINT_DIFF function delcarations in
  mpif.h
- Fixed time reported by MPI_WTIME; it was previously reported as
  dependent upon the CPU frequency.
- Fix platform detection on FreeBSD
- Fix a bug in the handling of MPI_TYPE_CREATE_DARRAY in
  MPI_(R)(GET_)ACCUMULATE
- Fix openib memory registration limit calculation
- Add missing MPI_T_PVAR_SESSION_NULL in mpi.h
- Fix "make distcheck" when using external hwloc and/or libevent packages
- Add latest ConnectX-5 vendor part id to OpenIB device params
- Fix race condition in the UCX PML
- Fix signal handling for rsh launcher
- Fix Fortran compilation errors by removing MPI_SIZEOF in the Fortran
  interfaces when the compiler does not support it
- Fixes for the pre-ignore-TKR "mpi" Fortran module implementation
  (i.e., for older Fortran compilers -- these problems did not exist
  in the "mpi" module implementation for modern Fortran compilers):
  - Add PMPI_* interfaces
  - Fix typo in MPI_FILE_WRITE_AT_ALL_BEGIN interface name
  - Fix typo in MPI_FILE_READ_ORDERED_BEGIN interface name
- Fixed the type of MPI_DISPLACEMENT_CURRENT in all Fortran interfaces
  to be an INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND).
- Fixed typos in MPI_INFO_GET_* man pages.  Thanks to Nicolas Joly for
  the patch
- Fix typo bugs in wrapper compiler script

The Open MPI Project is an open source MPI-2 implementation that is developed
and maintained by a consortium of academic, research, and industry partners.
Open MPI is therefore able to combine the expertise, technologies, and
resources from all across the High Performance Computing community in order to
build the best MPI library available. Open MPI offers advantages for system and
software vendors, application developers and computer science researchers.
Features implemented or in short-term development for Open MPI include:
- Full MPI-2 standards conformance
- Thread safety and concurrency
- Dynamic process spawning
- Network and process fault tolerance
- Support network heterogeneity
- Single library supports all networks
- Run-time instrumentation
- Many job schedulers supported
- Many OS's supported (32 and 64 bit)
- Production quality software
- High performance on all platforms
- Portable and maintainable
- Tunable by installers and end-users
- Component-based design, documented APIs
- Active, responsive mailing list
- Open source license based on the BSD license
