VolPE

Volunteer Computing Platform for Evolutionary Algorithms

This repository houses the primary components of VolPE, i.e. the master and the worker applications.

Master Application

The following are instructions to get the master application up and running:

  1. Install podman and the Go toolchain
  2. Setup podman appropriately
  3. Download this repository
  4. Export the environment variable CONTAINER_HOST. Value can be determined by running podman info -f json | jq .host.remoteSocket.path. The output from the command must be modified as follows.If the output is "/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock", the following command must be used to export the env. var.
export CONTAINER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock
  1. cd into the master/ folder and run go run .
  2. Install any missing dependencies and repeat 4, till the application is running

Worker Application

  1. Install podman and the Go toolchain
  2. Install podman and the Go toolchain
  3. Setup podman appropriately
  4. Download this repository
  5. Export the environment variable CONTAINER_HOST. Value can be determined by running podman info -f json | jq .host.remoteSocket.path. The output from the command must be modified as follows.If the output is "/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock", the following command must be used to export the env. var.
export CONTAINER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock
  1. Set the VOLPE_MASTER environment variable to the IP address where the master is accessible, with port 8000 by default. For example, if the master is accessible at IP address 192.168.0.2:
export VOLPE_MASTER=192.168.0.2:8080
  1. cd into the worker/ folder and run go run .
  2. Install any missing dependencies and repeat 6, till the application is running
