Subject: Q: adding a host more than once if it has more than 1 CPU

I'm using PVM on a network of SPARCstations.  Some of them have more
than one CPU (SUNMP is their type), and I'd like to allow as many
PVM jobs as there are CPUs run on these machines.  However, I can't
find a way to "add" the name of such machines more than once.  (I
know I could use pvm_spawn with a specific machine name more than
once, but I want a multiple-CPU machine to act transparently like
a "bunch" of machines, as many as it has CPUs.)

Is this possible?  I can't imagine it's not, I just haven't found the
trick yet.
