Method Details

checkStatus

boolean checkStatus()
             throws RemoteException

Checks the status of a connected DECS-Slave instance

Returns:

Liveliness of the node

Throws:

RemoteException - If the slave instance cannot be reached or any communication error is raised.

getSystemInformation

SystemInformation getSystemInformation()
                                throws RemoteException

Retrieves the system information of the slave instance

Returns:

System information object

Throws:

RemoteException - If the slave instance cannot be reached or any communication error is raised.

setupProblemEnvironment

boolean setupProblemEnvironment(ArrayList<JobFile> jobFiles,
 String problemCode,
 String distribution)
                         throws RemoteException

Sets up the execution environment in the Slave instance

Parameters:

jobFiles - List of the files to be transfered

problemCode - Problem short code

distribution - Problem distribution type

Returns:

Status of the operation

Throws:

RemoteException - If the slave instance cannot be reached or any communication error is raised.

startInference

boolean startInference(String problemCode)
                throws RemoteException

Starts the inference process on each connected slave

Parameters:

problemCode - Problem short code

Returns:

Status of the operation

Throws:

RemoteException - If the slave instance cannot be reached or any communication error is raised.

stopInference

boolean stopInference()
               throws RemoteException

Stops the inference process on each connected slave

Returns:

Status of the operation

Throws:

RemoteException - If the slave instance cannot be reached or any communication error is raised.
