How about a hostfile such as
% cat -n ~/tmp/hostfile
1 node0
2 node0
3 node1
4 node0
5 node1
6 node1
Looks like the function to express the mapping is not anything simple. If it's
an expressible function but too complicated for open mpi, you'll have to make
your own script to generate the function. This shouldn't be hard to do with
any standard unix scripting.
