Command: Rank

Name:
Rank - Return the MPI rank of the process.

Synopsis:
Rank -> int

Description:
Returns the rank of the MPI process (MPI_Comm_rank) executing the command. This function is mainly meant for logging and debugging purposes. It is highly discouraged to use this function to write rank-dependent code in a simulation script as this can break NEST in funny ways, of which dead-locks are the nicest.
