I'd like to write a spmd code running on, say 4 machines(workstation
cluster), would it spawn each task on each machine, or 2 tasks on
the host(submitting job)? It seems that's random, sometimes it does
spawn 2 tasks on one host. How can one spawn one task on each machine?


Also, I have mixed Fortran and C codes, the main routine is C. It seems
that C printings(stdout)  from spawned tasks don't come back to screen
(with pvm_catchout(stdout)), but Fortran stdout printings do appear.
Does any one know how to get C stdouts also printed?

Thanks.
