The following options can be use with the `--enable-comms=` option to target different communication interfaces:
| `<comm>` | Description |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `none` | no communications |
| `mpi` | MPI communications using [MPI-3 shared memory](https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/eb/54/An_Introduction_to_MPI-3.pdf) |
| `mpi-auto` | MPI communications with compiler CXX but clone flags from MPICXX |
For the MPI interfaces the optional `-auto` suffix instructs the `configure` scripts to determine all the necessary compilation and linking flags. This is done by extracting the informations from the MPI wrapper specified in the environment variable `MPICXX` (if not specified `configure` will scan though a list of default names). The `-auto` suffix is not supported by the Cray environment wrapper scripts. Use the standard wrappers ( `CXX=CC` ) set up by Cray `PrgEnv` modules instead.
