Hi. I don't think that this is a support emailing list. That's
definitely better suited for users_at_open-mpi.org.
But, to answer your question, the fastest way I can think of is
something along the lines of
MPI_Comm myNewComm;
MPI_Comm_split(MPI_COMM_WORLD,0,myNewRank,&myNewComm);
(see docs: http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/www/www3/MPI_Comm_split.html)
That won't change the existing rank inside of MPI_COMM_WORLD (I don't
think that's possible), but it will create a new comm object (myNewComm)
you can use instead (where each node has a new rank that you helped
specify (though if two nodes specified the same key (myNewRank) then
there will be some tie-breaking and you'll have to lookup the new rank
using MPI_Comm_rank)).
