abstract: Implements asynchronous message-passing communication protocols for island
  models of extended and evolutionary algorithms (see Tomassini, Marco (2005, ISBN:978-3-540-24193-5))
  for the R-package 'xega' <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=xega>. Basic asynchronous
  as well as synchronized communication primitives are supplied based on file I/O
  operations ('rds') on a shared file system or by 'openMPI' (MPI) messages. The gene
  selection and replacement strategies, the migration policy as well as the communication
  topology between islands are configurable. Homogeneous and heterogeneous island
  algorithms are supported. For examples (R and shell-scripts), see <https://github.com/ageyerschulz/xega/tree/main/examples/IslandModels>.
