Hi all,

I have a question on datatypes in openmpi:

Is there an (easy?) way to use __float128 variables with openmpi?

Specifically, functions like  

MPI_Allreduce

seem to give weird results with __float128.

Essentially all I found was

http://beige.ucs.indiana.edu/I590/node100.html

where they state
----
MPI_LONG_DOUBLE
  This is a quadruple precision, 128-bit long floating point number.
----

But as far as I have seen, MPI_LONG_DOUBLE is only used for long doubles.

The Open MPI Version is 1.6.3 and gcc is 4.7.3 on a x86_64 machine.

Any help or comment is very appreciated!

Best regards,
Patrick
