The operating system decides where each process runs (according to the binding). It usually has no knowledge of MPI ranks. And I don't think it looks at the PID numbers during the scheduling. So it's very likely random. Please distinguish your replies from the test you quote. Otherwise, it's hard to understand where's your reply. I hope I didn't miss anything. Brice
