rankConfig()

LocalRankConfig rankConfig	(	processor_id_type	rank,
		processor_id_type	nprocs,
		dof_id_type	napps,
		processor_id_type	min_app_procs,
		processor_id_type	max_app_procs,
		bool	batch_mode = false
	)

Returns app partitioning information relevant to the given rank for a multiapp scenario with the given number of apps (napps) and parallel/mpi procs (nprocs).

min_app_procs and max_app_procs define the min and max number of procs that must/can be used in parallel to run a given (sub)app. batch_mode affects whether 1 subapp is assigned per rank to be re-used to run each of the (napps) simulations or whether 1 subapp is created for each napps simulation (globally).

Each proc calls this function in order to determine which (sub)apps among the global list of all subapps for a multiapp should be run by the given rank.
