In a similar situation i wrote a simple shell script "rankcreate.sh"
which creates a rank file assigning the various ranks to the correct
processors/slots when given a number of processes. In addition, this
script returns the name of this created rank file. I then use it like
this:
mpirun -np 5 --rankfile `rankcreate.sh 5` myApplication
May be this is of use for you
