Introduction

MPI process pool.

This package contains an implementation of a process pool using MPI (lsst.ctrl.pool.pool.Pool). It also contains customisations of lsst.pipe.base.CmdLineTask that make it simple to either run the Task in parallel over multiple nodes (lsst.ctrl.pool.parallel.BatchParallelTask) or to use the scatter/gather capabilities of the process pool directly in a Task (lsst.ctrl.pool.parallel.BatchPoolTask).
