1.7.4 is our newest feature series release. 1.6.5 is the most recent
super-stable release.
We should be rolling 1.7.x to 1.8 within a few months.

OMPI should be able to transmit whatever size you send. Note that the MPI API
specifies a "count" parameter as an "int", so it can typically go up to 2B
before rolling over to a negative number. For example, if you send 2B MPI_INTs:
MPI_Send(buf, 2^30, MPI_INT, ...);
that will end up sending 2B*sizeof(int) = 8B bytes across the network.
