+//
+// File Broadcast with JACCL
+//
+// This example demonstrates distributed file transfer using JACCL's all_sum
+// operation to broadcast a file from any rank to all other machines.
+//
+// The algorithm:
+// 1. The sender rank reads the file into memory
+// 2. All other ranks allocate zero-filled buffers of the same size
+// 3. Use all_sum to broadcast: sender has data, others have zeros
+// 4. After all_sum, all ranks have the file data
+// 5. All ranks write the file to disk
+//
+// For large files, the transfer is chunked to manage memory efficiently.
+//
+// Usage:
+//   Set environment variables (see README.md), then run:
+//
+//     ./jaccl_file_broadcast -f <file> [-s <sender_rank>] [-o <output_dir>]
+//
+//   Or with mlx.launch:
+//
+//     mlx.launch --hostfile hosts.json ./jaccl_file_broadcast -f myfile.bin
+//
+// Example output (4 ranks, sender rank 2):
+//   Rank 0 of 4: Received 10485760 bytes from rank 2 (982.5 MB/s)
+//   Rank 1 of 4: Received 10485760 bytes from rank 2 (985.2 MB/s)
+//   Rank 2 of 4: Sent 10485760 bytes (980.1 MB/s)
+//   Rank 3 of 4: Received 10485760 bytes from rank 2 (978.9 MB/s)

+// Monte Carlo Pi Estimation with JACCL
+//
+// This example demonstrates distributed Monte Carlo simulation using JACCL
+// to estimate the value of π. Each rank generates random points independently
+// and uses all-reduce to aggregate the results across all machines.
+//
+// The algorithm:
+// 1. Each rank generates N random points in the unit square [0,1] x [0,1]
+// 2. Count how many fall inside the quarter circle (x² + y² ≤ 1)
+// 3. Use all_sum to aggregate hits and total points across all ranks
+// 4. π ≈ 4 × (hits / total)
+//
+// Usage:
+//   Set environment variables (see README.md), then run:
+//

+//
+//   Or with mlx.launch:

+//
+// Example output (4 ranks, 10M points each):
