! !MODULE: m_AccumulatorComms - MPI Communication Methods for the Accumulator
!          
!
! !DESCRIPTION:
!
! This module contains communications methods for the {\tt Accumulator}
! datatype (see {\tt m\_Accumulator} for details).  MCT's communications 
! are implemented in terms of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard, 
! and we have as best as possible, made the interfaces to these routines 
! appear as similar as possible to the corresponding MPI routines.  For the 
! { \tt Accumulator}, we currently support only the following collective 
! operations: broadcast, gather, and scatter.  The gather and scatter 
! operations rely on domain decomposition descriptors that are defined
! elsewhere in MCT:  the {\tt GlobalMap}, which is a one-dimensional 
! decomposition (see the MCT module {\tt m\_GlobalMap} for more details); 
! and the {\tt GlobalSegMap}, which is a segmented decomposition capable
! of supporting multidimensional domain decompositions (see the MCT module 
! {\tt m\_GlobalSegMap} for more details).

! value of the optional output argument {\tt stat}.
