Configuring a Visual Studio* Project

To configure a Visual Studio* project with Intel® MPI Library, do the following:

  1. In Visual Studio, create a console application project, or open an existing one.

  2. Open the project properties, go to Configuration Properties > Debugging and set the following parameters:

    Command: $(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\bin\mpiexec.exe

    Command arguments: -n <processes-number> "$(TargetPath)"

    Environment: PATH=$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\bin\$(ConfigurationName);$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\libfabric\bin;$(PATH)

  3. In Configuration Properties > C/C++ or Fortran, as appropriate, set the following parameter:

    Additional Include Directories: $(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\include

  4. In Configuration Properties > Linker, set the following parameter:

    Additional Library Directories: $(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\lib\$(ConfigurationName);$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\lib

  5. In Configuration Properties > Linker > Input, set the following parameters:

    • For Fortran, set Additional Dependencies: impi.lib
    • For C++, set Additional Dependencies: impi.lib and impicxx.lib

After completing these steps, you can build the solution and run the application. To run the application from Visual Studio, you can use the Ctrl + F5 key combination (Start Without Debugging). For other available options, see Running Applications.
