% MPI_Send  -  Sends variables to dest.

%  MPI_Send( dest, tag, comm, var1, var2, ...)
%
%    Send message containing variables to dest with a given tag
%
%    dest can be an iteger from 0 to comm_size-1
%    tag can be any integer
%    comm is an MPI Communicator (typically a copy of MPI_COMM_WORLD)

  % Save buf to file.
  save(buffer_file,'varargin');

  % Create lock file.
