4/// Fill n-tuples in distinct workers.
5/// This tutorial illustrates the basics of how it's possible with ROOT to
6/// offload heavy operations on multiple processes and how it's possible to write
7/// simultaneously multiple files. The operation performed in this case is the
8/// creation of random gaussian numbers.
