This abstract class simplifies the implementation of MPI jobs through a master/slave model. Subclasses must implement virtual methods. The master dispatches jobs to the slaves, awaits results, and slaves execute the job, sending results back to the master.
For example, NcmMPIJobMCMC is a specific subclass that implements an MCMC job. Each slave creates an instance of NcmLikelihood, evaluating the likelihood function for samples received from the master.
The master/slave model leverages MPI. The subclass is responsible for implementing virtual methods for packing/unpacking input and return objects into/from MPI buffers.
When NumCosmo is compiled with MPI support, the rank 0 process executes normally,
while other ranks wait for commands from the master. The method
ncm_mpi_job_init_all_slaves() sends a serialized version of itself to all slaves.
Slaves deserialize it and wait for commands.
Each call to ncm_mpi_job_run_array() sends an array of inputs to the slaves in a
round-robin fashion. Slaves execute the job and return results to the master,
maintaining the input order. This method uses rank 0 to control the slaves, so the
master isn't involved in computations.
Conversely, ncm_mpi_job_run_array_async() sends inputs to the slaves and creates a
lightweight thread to receive results while the master concurrently executes the job.
After job completion, the master calls ncm_mpi_job_free_all_slaves() to release the
slaves. It's an error to use two or more instances of any subclass of NcmMPIJob
simultaneously.

Control messages from master to slave. All messages have the same size, specifying tag NCM_MPI_CTRL_TAG_CMD.
MPI tags for master-slave communication.
If NCM_MPI_CTRL_TAG_CMD
is used, the message is a control message.
NCM_MPI_CTRL_SLAVE_INIT must be followed by NCM_MPI_CTRL_TAG_JOB containing the serialized job.
NCM_MPI_CTRL_SLAVE_WORK must be followed by NCM_MPI_CTRL_TAG_WORK_INPUT containing the serialized input.
NCM_MPI_CTRL_SLAVE_WORK is followed by NCM_MPI_CTRL_TAG_WORK_RETURN containing the serialized return.
NCM_MPI_CTRL_SLAVE_FREE does not need to be followed by any message. The slave can be reinitialized with NCM_MPI_CTRL_SLAVE_INIT.
NCM_MPI_CTRL_SLAVE_KILL should not be followed by any message. The slave will exit.
Slaves receive messages with tags below:
Waits for a message with tag NCM_MPI_CTRL_TAG_CMD
:
If the control message is NCM_MPI_CTRL_SLAVE_INIT, the slave receives NCM_MPI_CTRL_TAG_JOB with the serialized job.
If the control message is NCM_MPI_CTRL_SLAVE_WORK, the slave receives NCM_MPI_CTRL_TAG_WORK_INPUT with the serialized input.
After NCM_MPI_CTRL_SLAVE_WORK, the slave sends NCM_MPI_CTRL_TAG_WORK_RETURN
