/*
 *  Tree_bs/br is a algorithm that does a broadcast send/recv such that the
 *  communication pattern is a tree with an arbitrary number of branches.
 *  The following two pairs of graphs give different ways of viewing the same
 *  algorithm.  The first pair shows the trees as they should be visualized
 *  when examining the algorithm.  The second pair are isomorphic graphs of
 *  of the first, which show the actual pattern of data movement.
 
 *  Note that a tree broadcast with NBRANCHES = 2 is isomorphic with a
 *  hypercube broadcast (however, it does not require the nodes be a
 *  power of two to work).
 *
 *    TREE BROADCAST, NBRANCHES = 2     *    TREE BROADCAST, NBRANCHES = 3
