I think if you boot the mpi on the host machine, and than run your
program with 8 thread (mpirun -np 8 <program_name>) , the operating
system will automatically distribute it to the cores.

I am doing some testing on a variety of 8-core nodes in which I just
want to execute a couple of executables and have them distributed to
the available cores without overlapping. Typically, this would be done
with a parameter like /-machinefile machines/, but I have no idea what
names to put into the /machines/ file as this is a single node with
two quad core cpu's. As I am launching the jobs sans scheduler, I need
to specify what cores to run on I would think to keep from
overscheduling some cores while others receive nothing to do at all.
Simple suggestions? Maybe Open MPI takes care of this detail for me?
Thanks!
