Intel compiler options and mpich2-1.4.1p1

[Dharma]

Hello,
         I am trying to compile a Fortran code using mpif90 (mpich2-1.4.1p1 and ifort Version 12.1.0.233 Build 20110811), I do not see any effect of the the option -multiple-processes on the compile process. I have a 8 core machine. If you only ifort to compile the code, i did see 8 cores being used. Is there any issue here?

thanks
Reddy

This option has an effect only if there are multiple source files on the ifort command line.  You'd have to look to see which actual ifort command was issued to see if that's the case.
