Data is transmitted continuously and each step of the pipeline is connected to one or more nodes. A round-robin strategy is used to transmit data between nodes. It is somewhat similar to the request-reply pattern.

Remember when you enrolled in your algorithms class and your annoying professor introduced divide and conquer using merge sort and a week later half of the class dropped the unit? We remember as well. It is a small world and here is divide and conquer, again.
Let's do something in parallel with ZeroMQ. Consider a scenario where we have a producer that generates some random numbers. We also have workers, which find the square root of those numbers with Newton's method. Then we have a collector that collects the results from the...
