It looks one can subdivide all nodes into
groups. What is the purpose then of
having....

mpi_comm_rank as well as mpi_group_rank???

mpi_comm_size as well as mpi_group_size???

Are groups and comms interchangeable as arguments
to mpi commands???

I thought they were equal but not I'm not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Chris
