Hi Ole, it says it there: "Intel MPI Library is available as part of Intel® Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition and as a free stand-alone version. A license purchase includes Priority Support."
it's a not a trial version any more if you click on the "Free Download" button. Instead it will bring you to: https://software.intel.com/en-us/performance-libraries which includes MKL, Intel MPI and some other things. So you can also construct "gimkl" without sending $$$ to Intel. I haven't found any announcement but noted that since April this year, this has been updated: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/end-user-license-agreement => The EULA for Intel Software Development Products <https://software.intel.com/en-us/license/eula-for-intel-software-development-products> is the most commonly used license. Popular products it applies to include: - Intel® Parallel Studio XE - Intel® System Studio - Intel® VTune™ Amplifier - Intel® Media Server Studio The Intel Simplified Software License <https://software.intel.com/en-us/license/intel-simplified-software-license> applies to the following products: - Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) - Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) Library - Intel® Machine Learning Scaling Library (Intel® MLSL) - Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library (Intel® DAAL) - Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) - Intel® Distribution for Python* - Intel® MPI Library - Intel® Cluster Checker the first 4 you will need to buy licenses for (for typical HPC use that is, it is free for certain other use cases), but the last 8 not any more.
