[mpich-devel] mpich -mcmodel=medium

1 In the 'bin' directory containing mpif90, the following command shows
ifort is used.
$./mpif90 -v

mpifort for MPICH version 3.1.2

ifort version 14.0.3

2 ifort -mcmodel=medium won't work.

Since large array could not work with mpich in my computer,
I downloaded openmpi and now it is working fine. The parallel code being
modified from the serial
version
is now working.

Thank you for your attention
