The MPICH team is pleased to announce the availability of a new preview 
release (mpich-3.2b3).  This preview release adds several capabilities 
including support for the proposed MPI-3.1 standard (contains 
nonblocking collective I/O), full Fortran 2008 support (enabled by 
default), support for the Mellanox MXM interface for InfiniBand, support 
for the Mellanox HCOLL interface for collective communication, support 
for OFED InfiniBand for Xeon and Xeon Phi architectures, significant 
improvements to the MPICH Portals 4 implementation, and a completely 
revamped RMA infrastructure providing scalability and performance 
improvements. This preview release includes all the features planned for 
the 3.2.x release series.
