+
+## Intel MPI
+
+_Intel MPI 2018_ usually runs without any needs for special settings.
+
+_Intel MPI 2019 and 2020_ can run for small tests, but without flags will
+generally deadlock in the MPI exchanges of the engine, or worse. In that case
+try the following settings.
+
+```
+  FI_OFI_RXM_RX_SIZE=4096
+  FI_OFI_RXM_TX_SIZE=4096
+  FI_UNIVERSE_SIZE=2048
+```
+
+If you want use the `release_mt` library, then you also need to use:
+
+```
+  source $I_MPI_ROOT/intel64/bin/mpivars.sh release_mt
+```
+
+when initializing the library environment. Some success has also been seen
+using the asynchronous progression settings:
+
+```
+  I_MPI_ASYNC_PROGRESS=1
+  I_MPI_ASYNC_PROGRESS_THREADS=1
+
+```
+(note these are tested with `2019 update-4` and `2020 update-1`).
