Sorry, I assumed you were working with a group of machines (Different
computer with their own resources, connected through network). I am not
sure, if this would work in your situation. But you can still give it a
try, if you keep process 0 in waiting for receiving data, It may consume
less cpu time but again I am not sure of this.
