On everest at ornl we have different displays for each of the screens
controlled by a node.

    <Machine Name="s01"
             Environment="DISPLAY=:0.2"
             FullScreen="1"
             ShowBorders="0" />
    <Machine Name="s01"
             Environment="DISPLAY=:0.3"
             FullScreen="1"
             ShowBorders="0" />
    <Machine Name="s02"
             Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
             FullScreen="1"
             ShowBorders="0" />

Then we mpiexec multiple processes per node.
mpiexec -hosts 8 s01 4 s02 4 pvserver -tdx=4 -tdy=1 tile.pvx

Then start the client and connect to the root node of the server (s01
presumably) through the connect dialog box.
