 ## Example: Run hello_affinity as an MPI application (5_mpi_app_example.py)
 
-In the previous example, `mpiexec` was used as a launcher, rather than an executor.  In order to run applications with MPI applications, `mpi` has to be used a different way by Parsl.  To run MPI applications, use the `SimpleLauncher` and the `MPIExecutor`.  Note that a the configuration has to set `max_workers_per_block` to align with the resource needs of the application.  To run applications with different node numbers a different `Config` object is needed.
