/**
 * @class   vtkMultiProcessController
 * @brief   Multiprocessing communication superclass
 *
 * vtkMultiProcessController is used to control multiple processes
 * in a distributed computing environment. It has
 * methods for executing single/multiple method(s) on multiple processors,
 * triggering registered callbacks (Remote Methods) (AddRMI(), TriggerRMI())
 * and communication. Please note that the communication is done using
 * the communicator which is accessible to the user. Therefore it is
 * possible to get the communicator with GetCommunicator() and use
 * it to send and receive data. This is the encouraged communication method.
 * The internal (RMI) communications are done using a second internal
 * communicator (called RMICommunicator).
 *
 * There are two modes for RMI communication: (1) Send/Receive mode and
 * (2) Broadcast (collective) mode. The Send/Receive mode arranges processes
 * in a binary tree using post-order traversal and propagates the RMI trigger
 * starting from the root (rank 0) to the children. It is commonly employed to
 * communicate between client/server over TCP. Although, the Send/Receive mode
 * can be employed transparently over TCP or MPI, it is not optimal for
 * triggering the RMIs on the satellite ranks. The Broadcast mode provides a
 * more desirable alternative, namely, it uses MPI_Broadcast for communication,
 * which is the nominal way of achieving this in an MPI context. The underlying
 * communication mode used for triggering RMIs is controlled by the
 * "BroadcastTriggerRMI" variable. Note, that mixing between the two modes
 * for RMI communication is not correct behavior. All processes within the
 * vtkMultiProcessController must use the same mode for triggering RMI.
