/// \defgroup mi_neuray_node_manager Node manager
/// \ingroup mi_neuray
///
/// This module represents the node manager, a service to control the formation of clusters of
/// worker nodes based on their properties. The node manager is part of the DiCE library and can be
/// used by any application integrating DiCE. In the following a client is an application based on
/// DiCE which wants to make use of additional worker nodes to offload work. The node manager allows
/// to allocate and manage those worker nodes.
///
/// For using the node manager, a node manager process must be running on the worker nodes to be
/// used by client applications to delegate work to them. This process running on the worker nodes
/// can be built based on the DiCE library, too. This library offers an API which allows to register
/// properties at runtime, including the possibility to change them dynamically. The node manager
/// process running on the worker nodes can for example detect local capabilities, e.g., the number
/// of available CPU cores, the number of GPUs, or the amount of physical memory present and set
/// them as properties of the worker node. Those and other arbitrarily chosen properties will be
/// announced by DiCE to the client nodes.
///
/// On the client nodes, the node manager API can be used to control formation and/or joining
/// clusters of worker nodes. This can happen before the start of the DiCE library and also later,
/// in order to add a cluster of worker nodes to a running application or to join an already running
/// cluster.
///
/// The application running on the client nodes has full control over which cluster to join or which
/// worker nodes to select for the formation of a cluster. This can be achieved by writing a custom
/// filter class to which DiCE offers eligible clusters respectively worker nodes along with their
/// properties which have been set by the node manager process running on the worker nodes. Such a
/// filter can then return either true or false. True is returned if the cluster respectively worker
/// node in question should be chosen, or false, otherwise. In addition a client application can
/// specify a minimum and maximum amount of worker nodes which need to be in the cluster for the
/// cluster creation to be successful.
///
/// Each cluster created using the node manager API is associated with a multicast address which is
/// automatically chosen and which can be passed to DiCE for forming a DiCE cluster. In addition to
/// that a command string which is used to start child processes on the worker nodes is associated
/// with the cluster.
///
/// A cluster can be shut down automatically when no client is using the cluster anymore. Shutting
/// down can also be delayed by a timeout which can be set by the client application. In addition it
/// is possible to shut down a cluster immediately, even if there are still client nodes using the
/// clusters or the timeout has not elapsed.
///
/// The node manager API allows a client node to form or join any number of clusters at the same
/// time or at different times.
///
/// The node manager can be operated in two network modes: multicasting and TCP networking with a
/// discovery host. Multicasting is the default. TCP networking can be used in network environments
/// where switches/routers do not allow UDP multicasting and establishing a connection between node
/// manager instances does not work. With TCP networking, a head node is used to allow node manager
/// instances to find each other. There can be only one head node and it needs to be the first
/// instance that is started. A node manager instance that is started in TCP mode and where the
/// address that follows is the local IP address will become the head node. Other nodes specify the
/// head node's IP address as well and will obtain the list of known nodes from there.
