Follow-up Comment #8, bug #38092 (project findutils):
> TOT_RANKS=# some decimal value
> ARGS_PER_RANK=# another decimal value
> xargs --process_slot_var=RANK -P $TOT_RANKS -n $ARGS_PER_RANK
> sh -c 'mpirun -n $RANK yourcommand "$@"' dollarzero
The above doesn't work in practice because an MPI parallel program has to be
started by mpirun or equivalent (at least in all systems that I've used [Cray
XT4&5, IBM Blue Gene P, etc.]). Furthermore since the environment given to
each copy of a program started by MPI is still identical xargs cannot know
which files a particular instance should process without calling
MPI_Comm_rank(...). At least I don't see how else that could be accomplished
portably and reliably (i.e. without looking at node hostnames or such, which
might not even exist).
I cannot test the above commands but I suspect they also wouldn't work because
the -n given to mpirun specifies the total number of processes to start, not a
quantity going from 0 to n - 1.
