Yes, the processes are not spawned by MPI and they are not spawned by
something like Slurm/PBS.

How does MPI get to know what processes running in what nodes in a general
sense? Do we need to write some plugin so that it can figure out this
information? I guess this must be the way it is supporting Slurm/PBS etc.
