Hi Damjan, Thanks for your mail. While the regular behavior is that all nodes run on same thread, it is possible to offload some of the nodes to secondary threads via handoff(*worker_handoff_node, handoff_dispatch_node*) mechanism. I did this between two fixed nodes and its working(node1 runs on worker1 and node2 runs on worker2).
My problem is to do this between any two nodes selected at runtime.
