!> \brief module contains the worker routine handling the communication and

!>        - WORKER these are all TMC cores, instead of master core
!>          and maybe some idle cores
!>        - divided in groups, in every group exists group master
!>          - there can be two kind of groups, one for exact energy calculation
!>            and one calculating configurational change using an approximate
!>            potential
!>        - Algorithm:
!>          - group master receive messages and decide what to do,
!>          - (if nessesary) broadcast of working task
!>            to all other group members (needed for parallel CP2K)
!>          - process task, calculations of energy or configurational change
!>          - result, exist on group master, sent to master core
!>        Communication structure (master->worker, worker->master):
!>        - message structure is defined in TMC message module
