Appreciate the clarification. Unfortunately, the answer is ³no² for any of our current releases. We only use the ³host² info argument to tell us which nodes to use the info has no bearing on the eventual mapping of ranks to nodes. Repeated entries are simply ignored.
I was mainly asking for the version to check if you were working with our svn trunk. The upcoming 1.3 release does support mapping such as you describe. However, it currently only supports it for entries in a hostfile, not as specified via host or in the host info argument. Historically, we have maintained a direct correspondence between hostfile and host operations i.e., whatever you can do with a hostfile could also be done via host. I¹ll have to discuss with the developers whether or not to extend this to sequential mapping of ranks. The short answer, therefore, is that we don¹t support what you are requesting at this time, and may not support it in 1.3 (though you could get around that perhaps by putting the ordering in a file).
