MPI Topology Validation Using Epidemic Algorithm
Creating a full program implementation that includes all stages—leader election, topology validation through an epidemic algorithm, and constructing a topology matrix using a tree algorithm.
Assumptions:
- Every process can communicate with every other process (full connectivity).
- Leader election is based on the highest rank.
- After the leader is elected, it starts the epidemic algorithm to count the nodes.
- The tree algorithm for topology matrix construction assumes a simple tree structure.

This program is a simplification and idealization of the concepts. Practical implementations in a distributed system would likely require more sophisticated handling of network topologies and error conditions.
The epidemic algorithm used here is a basic version for demonstrating the concept. In a real-world scenario, it would need to be adapted to the specific network topology and conditions.
The topology matrix in this program is highly simplified and assumes a direct parent-child relationship based on the rank. In reality, constructing a topology matrix would depend on the actual network structure and might involve more complex algorithms.
