Mathieu,
Your MPI_COMM_UNIVERSE is a inter-communicator, and therefore the MPI_Comm_size
and MPI_Comm_rank return the size, respectively the rank, in the local group.
There is a special accessor for getting the remote group size
(MPI_Comm_remote_size).
Now regarding the previous question (about the attribute MPI_UNIVERSE_SIZE),
your answer is in the MPI standard 2.2 page 346 line 35. The MPI_UNIVERSE_SIZE
is not set in Open MPI.
