Intel MPI support

[VitaMusic]

I would like to know if Intel MPI is supported by tensorflow
if yes : how to configure ./configure and other related files and path ?
if no: would it be supported soon ?

[jbedorf]

It is support in TensorFlow 1.x, you can configure it via the standard configure script and answer 'Y' on the question if you want to build it with MPI.
It is not yet supported for TensorFlow 2.x , we're still working on converting the 1.x plugins and extensions to 2.x.

When will it support TensorFlow 2.x? Could you please give me an approximate schedule?

@lalalapotter we expect to support the TF 2.2 release, and its release schedule is currently unknown. Support for the nightly version will come earlier, expected to be the end of 2019.
