Distributed System Blog application

The goal of this project is to design and develop a scalable distributed system blog application (replication of twitter) using tuplespace and heterogeneous .

Distributed Nodes

There are 2 nodes in the network, one act as client (written in python) and one act as server, which is a tuple space in the network (written in Ruby).

• In version 1.0 of this project, we implemented the adapter pattern in RUBY, which is internally connected to the RInda tuple space.

• This architecture can also be implemented in python tuplespace, While our concerns are:

  • The PyLinda package is not not the same as the pylinda package available on PyPI.
  • PyLinda was written for Python 2.
  • The available code for PyLinda is missing some source files.
  • The original author of the code seems to have disappeared from the Internet.

• Fortunately Ruby, another common scripting language, includes a module named Rinda which implements the Linda distributed computing paradigm.

How to run the project:

Install the dependencies by the following command

$ gem install --user-install xmlrpc

Start the Rinda TupleSpace

ruby tuplespace.rb

Start the adapter.rb file

ruby adapter.rb

if you're running the blog application in a single file, then run

python blog.py

if you're running the arithmetic operations

1. python arithmetic_client.py
2. python arithmetic_server.py
