dicosi

DIstributed COmputation -- made SImple

dicosi is a simple-to-use platform for distributed computation, meant to support interoperability between programming languages and operating systems. It is based on redis for managing the inter-process communication and queueing.

Initial support exists for Unix shells and Python; support for Perl, Java, and C(++) will be added later.

Unix shells:

Server Usage

$ dServer fName cmdLine 

Client Usage

$ dClient fName  

Python:

Server Usage

>>> from dicosi import serve_forever
>>> serve_forever([function1, function2])

Client Usage

>>> from dicosi import call, multi_call
>>> result1 = call("function1","argument1","argument2")
>>> results = multi_call("function",[("argument1","argument2"),("argument1","argument2","argument3")])
