Sorry if it's been asked before (I couldn't find an answer in the
archives, maybe because I'm not 100% clear of what I'm looking for):
Is there a way for getting a hash or something alike for a host id? I
know there's MPI_Get_processor_name, however it returns the host name
from the local context and it may be duplicated if we cross boundaries
and the returned host name does not have also its domain name (like
dynamic applications running in a grid, where we have c1.something.com
and c1.univ.edu).
Another drawback of MPI_Get_processor_name is that it returns a string.
An unique, numeric hash would be better to handle for my application.
Thanks in advance,
Pilla
