 *   distributed quad-tree, covering all clusters specified, with the following constraints:
 *   . The involved clusters form a mesh [x_size * y_size]
 *   . The lower left involved cluster is cluster(0,0)  
 *   . The number of threads in a cluster is the same in all clusters.
 *
 * Implementation note:
 * - The quad three is implemented as a three dimensions array of node[x][y][l]
 *   . [x][y] are the cluster coordinates / max values are (QDT_XMAX-1), (QDT_YMAX-1)
 *   . [l] is the node level / 0 for terminal nodes / (QDT_LMAX-1) for the root node
