You would normally use MPI options and no --node option. Eg. "mpirun
-host=alpha,bravo -np 16 ./john (...)" for splitting the job in 16
processes over two hosts (so 8 on each).
However, if you want an MPI job to be part of a larger job (as in the
original example) you'd do something like "mpirun -host=alpha,bravo -np
16 ./john -node=1-16/10000 (...)".
Basically the syntax for MPI with --node is the same as for --fork with
--node. So these two examples are equivalent in terms of work space:
./john -fork=16 -node=1-16/10000 (...)
mpirun -host=alpha,bravo -np 16 ./john -node=1-16/10000 (...)
