MPI refactoring #4

Closed sontheimer closed 3 years ago

sontheimer commented 3 years ago

First steps of the change from multithreading to MPI.

1) moved all MPI connection and communicator creation into a new file: FatEndPoint.py 2) moved all multithreading related code into a new file: mpi_translator.py 3) started to mark the changes from Threads to MPI.

The new files should just be merged into the repo. Changes to be checked are in the nest_to_tvb.pyfile.

The test test_translation_nest_to_tvb.sh still passes.

NOTEs after the first reviews:

Transistion state from using THREADS to using MPI as communication protocol.
There is still a mixture of old and new code. Not every functions might make sense yet.
There are still undocumented functions and code snippets.

All important points from the reviews were added to Issue 3.
