// This multi-threaded aplication read a raw image (one byte per pixel)
// stored on disk, transposes it, displays the result on the frame buffer,
// and stores the transposed image on disk.
//
// The image size and the pixel encoding type are defined by the IMAGE_SIZE and
// IMAGE_TYPE global parameters.
//
// It can run on a multi-cores, multi-clusters architecture, where (X_SIZE * Y_SIZE)
// is the number of clusters and NCORES the number of cores per cluster.
// A core is identified by two indexes [cxy,lid] : cxy is the cluster identifier,
// (that is NOT required to be a continuous index), and lid is the local core index,
// (that must be in the [Ø,NCORES-1] range).
//
// The main() function can run on any core in any cluster. This main thread
// makes the initialisations, uses the pthread_create() syscall to launch (NTHREADS-1)
// other threads in "attached" mode running in parallel the execute() function, calls 
// himself the execute() function, wait completion of the (NTHREADS-1) other threads 
// with a pthread_join(), and finally calls the instrument() function to display
// and register the instrumentation results when execution is completed.
// All threads run the execute() function, but each thread transposes only
// (NLINES / NTHREADS) lines. This requires that NLINES == k * NTHREADS.
//
// The number N of working threads is always defined by the number of cores availables
// in the architecture, but this application supports three placement modes.
// In all modes, the working threads are identified by the [tid] continuous index 
// in range [0, NTHREADS-1], and defines how the lines are shared amongst the threads.
// This continuous index can always be decomposed in two continuous sub-indexes:
// tid == cid * ncores + lid,  where cid is in [0,NCLUSTERS-1] and lid in [0,NCORES-1].
//
// - NO_PLACEMENT: the main thread is itsef a working thread. The (N_1) other working
//   threads are created by the main thread, but the placement is done by the OS, using
//   the DQDT for load balancing, and two working threads can be placed on the same core.
//   The [cid,lid] are only abstract identifiers, and cannot be associated to a physical
//   cluster or a physical core. In this mode, the main thread run on any cluster, 
//   but has tid = 0 (i.e. cid = 0 & tid = 0).
//
// - EXPLICIT_PLACEMENT: the main thread is again a working thread, but the placement of
//   of the threads on the cores is explicitely controled by the main thread to have
//   exactly one working thread per core, and the [cxy][lpid] core coordinates for a given
//   thread[tid] can be directly derived from the [tid] value: [cid] is an alias for the
//   physical cluster identifier, and [lid] is the local core index.
//
// - PARALLEL_PLACEMENT: the main thread is not anymore a working thread, and uses the
//   non standard pthread_parallel_create() function to avoid the costly sequencial
//   loops for pthread_create() and pthread_join(). It garanty one working thread 
//   per core, and the same relation between the thread[tid] and the core[cxy][lpid].
//    
// The buf_in[x,y] and buf_out[put buffers containing the direct and transposed images
// are distributed in clusters: each thread[cid][0] allocate a local input buffer
// and load in this buffer all lines that must be handled by the threads sharing the
// same cid, from the mapper of the input image file.
// In the execute function, all threads in the group defined by the cid index read pixels
// from the local buf_in[cid] buffer, and write pixels to all remote buf_out[cid] buffers.
// Finally, each thread displays a part of the transposed image to the frame buffer.
//
// - The image  must fit the frame buffer size, that must be power of 2.
// - The number of clusters  must be a power of 2 no larger than 256.
// - The number of cores per cluster must be a power of 2 no larger than 4.
// - The number of threads cannot be larger than IMAGE_SIZE.
