Description
Hey all - I have a unique situation where I would like to to assign cells to specific processes due to (potential) network lag. An example situation may be where I have two regions that communicate often on one host but occasionally communicate over the network. I think I see where cells are assigned here: https://github.com/AllenInstitute/bmtk/blob/develop/bmtk/simulator/bionet/bionetwork.py#L192
But want to be sure that my thinking isn't off and ensure that I can't already assign process via gid.
Thank you again,
Tyler

Research direction
Start by reading bmtk/simulator/bionet/bionetwork.py around line 192, where cells appear to be assigned to processes. Trace how gids are mapped to processes and check whether an existing configuration already supports explicit assignment. Done requires a clear determination of current support and, if absent, a defined approach for assigning selected gids to processes.
