// Class description:
//
// This is a class for run control in Geant4 of multi-threaded runs.
// It extends G4RunManager re-implementing multi-threaded behavior in
// key methods (see documentation for G4RunManager).
// Users initialise an instance of this class instead of G4RunManager
// to start a multi-threaded simulation.
