Comment (by hinder):

 Will mpirun choke on a request for more?  That must be system-dependent.
 If I run on my laptop, I can ask mpirun for as many processes as I like.
 I think Erik calls this "oversubscribing".  I don't think that running a
 test case on 2 processes rather than 1 is going to "bring a machine down".
 The performance will of course be lower, but these are not benchmarks.
