I'll caveat this a little more. If you are running over multiple GPUs with
nodes connected via infiniband then yes this is the best option. The latest
version of Mvapich2 will almost certainly get you the best performance both
for GPU and CPU runs.

If you plan to just run on a single node with say 2 GPUs in that node and 8
cores or so and don't want to go to the trouble of setting up mvapich2 etc
(since you don't have infiniband) then I suggest using the latest version of
mpich2.

This is easy to configure, install and use and gives good performance for
CPU and GPU runs within a single node.

All the best
Ross
