First, I have to appologize if this is obvious question.  Since, I have 
only man page for pvm function.  My question is:

Assuming that in both conditions, I have several workstations configured
as one virtual machine.  Then,are there any different in using pvm_spawn
in these conditions? (all spawn call don't specify the hostname.(use PvmTaskDefault)

   (1)spawn these n tasks by using one pvm_spawn or
   (2)spawn 1 tasks by using pvm_spawn n times.

The question is 

In (1), will each individual tasks spawn to different
machines or will it spawn all n processes to one machine?

Do I need to do (2) in order to get n processes spawning to n different
machines?  (If not, how?)

Thank you very much for your help.
