Asymmetric global function

Constructor: ParRootFunction(|root_function|, |other_function|=None)

Arguments:

Global functions are called with global object arguments. The local values of these arguments are then passed to the local function, and the result is returned in a ParValue object.

A ParRootFunction differs from a ParFunction in that it uses a different local function for processor 0 than for the other processors. ParRootFunction objects are commonly used for I/O operations.
