With LAM/MPI, you can't do it. LAM/MPI was designed for HPC
applications running on small machines. HPC apps rarely run
oversubscribed, and only then by a couple nodes. LAM/MPI can start
about 60-70 processes / node, so that would give you 180 - 210
processes on your three machines. Of course, I can't see how you're
going to start that many processes on that small of a configuration,
but that's another story.
