Research direction

Start with the mpiP usage materials and the linked OpenMPI 4.0.5 mpirun reference, focusing on MIMD runs with more than one executable. Done would be a documented, project-appropriate explanation of how mpiP handles this setup and how it locates source code for each executable.

Description

I am writing my question here as I think that the mpip-help mailing list no longer exists.

How do I use mpiP with an MIMD program set, as per (e.g.) OpenMPI 4.0.5 mpirun ? How does mpiP find the source code for more than one executable?
