I would like to have two pvmd on a bi-proc computer.

The idea is to have the same code for mono and bi processor machines. I
use the function pvm_config(&nhost, NULL, &hostp) in C and would like to
have nhost=number_of_cpus instead of nhost=number_of_machines and have
the struct hostp filled accordingly.

If I try to add two times the same host I have a "Duplicate host" error
message.

I don't want my program to know which computer has 2 processors and which
ones have only one.

Is there a clean way to do it ?
I haven't found in the FAQ
