These options serve to optimise the binary code for certain processor types. Without them, as you've seen, the code will still go OK, but probably somewhat slower. I myself haven't tested their effect on execution speed, though.
I do know that they're version-dependent. The command-line options available to the Intel compilers vary considerably from version to version.
A good place to start is to run "mpicc --show" (or the equivalent option, depending on your MPI implementation). The "mpicc" is actually a wrapper, and the "show" option will print out what the underlying command is. You can then find out what compiler, or compiler version, mpicc is really using. (A common mistake when using the Intel compilers is to use the default MPI build, which is almost always a wrapper for the GNU compilers. If you're doing this, and you wish to use MPI with the Intel compilers, you will need to build a second MPI on your computer, using the Intel compilers to do so.)
Regards,
Ben
