There are ways to form groups of processes after process launch, see
intracommunicators in the MPI-2 documentation, but you should understand that
this is not a very commonly used technique in the HPC world.

way ipython was running under MPI.
Since my processes can be killed and restarted I think I'll have to at least
investigate this technique...
