WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
This is a tool used to implement algorithms using the Bulk Synchronous
Parallel (BSP) computing model. A BSP algorithm is composed of a number of
processing nodes, each executing in parallel. The general flow of
execution in each processing node is the following:
1. Do work locally on some data.
2. Send some messages to other nodes.
3. Receive messages from other nodes.
4. Go to step 1 or terminate if complete.
To do this, each processing node needs an API used to send and receive
messages. This API is implemented by the bsp_connect object which provides
these services to a BSP node.
Note that BSP processing nodes are spawned using the bsp_connect() and
bsp_listen() routines defined at the bottom of this file. For example, to
start a BSP algorithm consisting of N processing nodes, you would make N-1
calls to bsp_listen() and one call to bsp_connect(). The call to
bsp_connect() then initiates the computation on all nodes.
Finally, note that there is no explicit barrier synchronization function
you call at the end of step 3. Instead, you can simply call a method such
as try_receive() until it returns false. That is, the bsp_context's
receive methods incorporate a barrier synchronization that happens once all
the BSP nodes are blocked on receive calls and there are no more messages
in flight.
THREAD SAFETY
This object is not thread-safe. In particular, you should only ever have
one thread that works with an instance of this object. This means that,
for example, you should not spawn sub-threads from within a BSP processing
node and have them invoke methods on this object. Instead, you should only
invoke this object's methods from within the BSP processing node's main
thread (i.e. the thread that executes the user supplied function funct()).

- Once a listening port is opened, port_notify_function() is called with the
port number used. This provides a mechanism to find out what listening port
has been used if it is automatically selected. It also allows you to find
out when the routine has begun listening for an incoming connection from
bsp_connect().
- Once a connection is established, we will close the listening port so it is
free for use by other applications. The connection and BSP computation will
continue uninterrupted.
- This call to bsp_listen_dynamic_port() blocks until the BSP computation has
completed on all processing nodes.
throws
- dlib::socket_error
This exception is thrown if there is an error which prevents the BSP
job from executing.
- Any exception thrown by funct() will be propagated out of this call to
bsp_connect().
