+This simple example demonstrates the execution of different jobs on different 
+nodes in the same srun.  You can do this for any number of nodes or any 
+number of jobs.  The executables are placed on the nodes sited by the 
+SLURM_NODEID env var.  Starting at 0 and going to the number specified on
+the srun commandline.
