vtkMultiProcessController

Section: Visualization Toolkit Parallel Classes

Usage

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).

To create an instance of class vtkMultiProcessController, simply invoke its constructor as follows
