I think you're trying to say "...which converges with Open MPI and not with 
*Intel* MPI", right?

What are the differences between your runs?

- you already identified Open MPI vs. Intel MPI
- are you running on different hardware?  (e.g., different clusters with 
different processors / accelerators, different network types, ...etc.)
- are you compiling with different compilers?
- are you using the same support libraries (e.g., numerical support libraries), 
and if so, were they compiled differently?

Usually, the best idea in these kinds of cases is to reduce the issue to a 
small program where you can reproduce the problem (i.e., reduce the unknowns to 
as small a number as possible), and then see where that leads to.
