Hello world from processor ampere-altra-2-1, rank 1 out of 5 processors
Hello world from processor ampere-altra-2-1, rank 3 out of 5 processors
Hello world from processor dpr740, rank 0 out of 5 processors
Hello world from processor dpr740, rank 4 out of 5 processors
Hello world from processor dpr740, rank 2 out of 5 processors

Yes, that is correct. The ranks are assigned to hosts as shown in the hello world output.

Yes. You can use "-rankmap (vector,1,1,0,0,0)". Alternatively, you can use "-hosts 192.168.2.100:2,192.168.2.200:3", the colon syntax specifies how many processes you want to assign to each host.
