- Manager Process

• The SPDI Task Controller is the interface between the application and the Manager/Worker Paradigm.

• It is responsible for calling the correct user functions based on the state it is in.

• Process 0 is always the manager.

• Process 1 is the starting worker which besides playing the role of a normal worker is also responsible for generating the initial tasks which are sent to the managing process for distribution amongst the idle workers.

• The other worker processes may also generate tasks during their working states.
