No, we don't really have a GUI for selecting nodes and/or CPUs to run
on. It probably wouldn't be too hard to write one. However, we
haven't really focused on that aspect of LAM; our research is much more
focused on the parallel computing and software engineering aspects of
MPI applications.

Given that such a tool would only need to output a text file that is
fed to the lamboot, mpirun, and/or mpiexec commands, it would be pretty
easy for anyone with GUI programming experience to write such a thing
and integrate it nicely into a standalone package that would use
LAM/MPI as the back-end.
