This parameter can be used when creating projects that will use MPI to talk to remote GPUs. This project is only active

In general, it is possible to use several nodes, each one talking to several GPUs. However, this procedure might fail if the queueing system assigns the GPU device numbers in real time. The current version of Dynamo works on the assumption that the user can set beforehand the GPU identifier numbers for each node. This approach will work properly when each node has a single device, or when the queueing system does not allow for allocation of GPU nodes to several users.
