Figure 6
The workflow of our SmartTray Framework. A computation is a job (b) that consists of multiple work packs (d) that can be independently processed in parallel. A work pack contains both the data to process and the computation instructions. The job is created by the user (a) and hosted by a master server [represented logically by (c) and (g)]. All computational nodes, dedicated cluster nodes or volunteer computers (e) poll work packs (d) from the master server (c), execute the calculation (f) and send the result to the master server (g). When a work pack's result is not returned within a given time-out period (or nodes are idle otherwise), the work pack will be re-dispensed as a failover measure. As a side effect, the master server holds a constantly updated list of nodes that are willing to participate in calculations that includes their hardware features. |
