Abstract
A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure for selecting a coordinator node to configure a parallel processing system having a plurality of interconnected nodes. The method comprises the steps of: multicasting a best available node list and a best desired node list from each node to each node; receiving the best available node list and the best desired node list from each node in each node; and selecting the coordinator node as the node originating a best available node list that includes every node in the desired node list. If no node is identified as originating a best available node list that includes every node in the desired list, the node originating a best available node list that includes the greatest number of nodes in the desired node list is selected as the coordinator node.
