Detailed Description

This JobDistributor is intended for machines where you have a large number of processors. two dedicated processes are used to handle JobDistribution and File-IO. all other processes (higher rank ) are used for computation. the file_buf_rank_ process runs the MpiFileBuffer which is at the receiving end of all ozstream output that is rerouted via MPI from the slave nodes. This means all slaves write to the same file without FileSystem congestion and interlacing in the file – IO is handled from a single dedicated process The other dedicated process (master_rank) runs the actual JobDistributor and is only used to distribute jobs to slaves and receive their notification of successful or failed execution in case you have only a small number of processors you can put say 10 MPI processes on 8 processors to get optimal CPU usage.

protected

called by master to send and by slave to receive job

This is the heart of the MPIFileBufJobDistributor. It consistits of two while loops: the job distribution loop (JDL) and the node spin down loop (NSDL). The JDL has three functions. The first is to recieve and process messages from the slave nodes requesting new job ids. The second is to recieve and process messages from the slave nodes indicating a bad input. The third is to recive and process job_success messages from the slave nodes and block while the slave node is writing its output. This is prevent Sizeerleaving of output in score files and silent files. The function of the NSDL is to keep the head node alive while there are still slave nodes processing. Without the NSDL if a slave node finished its allocated job after the head node had finished handing out all of the jobs and exiting (a very likely scenario), it would wait indefinitely for a response from the head node when requesting a new job id.
