Describe the solution you'd like There should be documentation for:

  • running MPI with compute
  • running MPI with compute_procedure
  • developing MPI-aware program harnesses

@WardLT is this ready to be documented and supported?

Yes, and I can make documentation for how the MPI-ready Program harnesses function.

Where in the docs should it go? Programs or Developer Documentation?

I think a new page under "User Interface" since this is general to all program with a note in the environment detection page that MPI isn't automatically found.

Thanks. I can do that
