There are two ways you can find out if an Open MPI build has
MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE support:
* On the command line: You can run "ompi_info | grep Thread". If you see
mpi: no, the build doesn't support MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE. If you see mpi:
yes, the build does support MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE.
* At run-time. As mentioned below, if you request MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE and
provided is only MPI_THREAD_SINGLE, then Open MPI does not have
MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE support.
Good luck,
Brian
