MPI is process based and not thread based. So there is no way in MPI
to synchronize several threads. Moreover, all threads in a process
will return the same rank [as you noticed].
Synchronizations internal to a process have to be done outside MPI.
Any threading library, such as pthread library, is the way to go.
