A (most likely stupid) question: 

Assume a parallel multiprocessor machine. Is it possible for a process
A to dynamically instruct another process to start broadcasting
(multicasting) messages to a particular set of processes in the
system?  

Any reply and relevant references would be really appreciated!

please send any replies to gkt@cs.bham.ac.uk too.

Thank you in advance
