Abstract
A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure for selecting nodes while configuring a parallel processing system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of multicasting a request from a coordinator node to the non-coordinator node to transmit a list of nodes reachable by the non-coordinator node; receiving the list of nodes reachable by the non-coordinator node in the coordinator node; generating a global view of the nodes reachable by the non-coordinator node; generating a node list having member nodes belonging to the configured parallel processing system according to a first criteria; and transmitting the parallel processing node list to the member nodes. The apparatus comprises a means for performing the steps described above, and the article of manufacture comprises a program storage device tangibly embodying computer instructions for performing the above method steps.
