I have old MPI code that expects 4 nodes....

It uses a few MPI commands with MPI_COMM_WORLD
for the MPI_COMM argument.

I want to run this code multiple times on
a 12 node supercomputer with a new main program
that runs 3 instances of it.

What is easiest way to run lots of 4 node
runs at same time on 12 node supercomputer???

Can I just define 3 communicators and then
change the mpi_comm argument from MPI_COMM_WORLD
to 1 of 3 new mpi_comm variables???

Do I need to mess with groups??? (i.e. does
a mpi_comm variables specify a set of nodes?)

Chris
