<p>PRRTE provides a set of three controls for assigning process
locations and ranks:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Mapping: Assigns a default location to each process</p></li>
<li><p>Ranking: Assigns a unique integer rank value to each process</p></li>
<li><p>Binding: Constrains each process to run on specific processors</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The sections below describe these controls in more detail.</p>
