I am using MPI_Comm_spawn and i want to spawn a new process on a particular
node in the cluster.

I read about MPI_Info and it says it is "a set of key-value pairs telling
the runtime system where and how to start the processes".

Also I found that there is a reserved key 'host' for MPI_Info object. (Value
is a hostname. The format of the hostname is determined by the implementation.)

My question is how can i specify hostname (if hostname is sparc7.cs.iit.edu)?
Is my understanding of these descriptions correct?
