Hi Netters....

I saw an article long time back on how to change the speed parameter 
that is shown on the pvm console....  If anybody knows how to 
change the speed variable for a particular machine in a PVM configuration
please let me know.  Let me try to explain my problem.

I run my PVM on 8 HP's and an Exemplar.  Exemplar is a hypernode made of
8 HP processors, but it has only one port address.  So, when I include 
exemplar in my configuration, it is considered as a single processor.
So, if I spawn 20 processes it splits equally on the 8 single HP's including
the Exemplar.  I would like to change the speed parameter on the 
Exemplar so that the daemon will automatically spawn more processes on them 
than on the single HP machines.  

If any of you PVM Guru's have a solution for this please let me know.
Thank you very much for your time.

Bala
