1. A method of configuring a parallel processing system having a plurality of interconnected nodes including a coordinator node a non-coordinator node, comprising the steps of:

  • multicasting a request from a coordinator node to the non-coordinator node to transmit a list of nodes reachable by the non-coordinator node;

    receiving the list of nodes reachable by the non-coordinator node in the coordinator node;

    generating a global view of the nodes reachable by the non-coordinator node and the coordinator node;

    generating a node list having member nodes belonging to the configured parallel processing system according to a first criteria; and

    transmitting the node list to the member nodes.
