Detailed Description

Python Work Queue object.

This class uses a dictionary to map between the task pointer objects and the work_queue.Task.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def work_queue.WorkQueue.__init__ (   self,
  port = WORK_QUEUE_DEFAULT_PORT,
  name = None,
  catalog = True,
  exclusive = True,
  shutdown = False 
)

Create a new work queue.

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
portThe port number to listen on. If zero is specified, then the default is chosen, and if -1 is specified, a random port is chosen.
nameThe project name to use.
catalogWhether or not to enable catalog mode.
exclusiveWhether or not the workers should be exclusive.
shutdownAutomatically shutdown workers when queue is finished. Disabled by default.

Member Function Documentation

def work_queue.WorkQueue.activate_fast_abort (   self,
  multiplier 
)

Turn on or off fast abort functionality for a given queue.

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
multiplierThe multiplier of the average task time at which point to abort; if negative (the default) fast_abort is deactivated.

References work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_activate_fast_abort().

Determine whether there are any known tasks queued, running, or waiting to be collected.

Returns 0 if there are tasks remaining in the system, 1 if the system is "empty".

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.

References work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_empty().

Determine whether the queue can support more tasks.

Returns the number of additional tasks it can support if "hungry" and 0 if "sated".

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.

References work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_hungry().

def work_queue.WorkQueue.specify_algorithm (   self,
  algorithm 
)

Set the worker selection algorithm for queue.

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
algorithmOne of the following algorithms to use in assigning a task to a worker:

References work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_specify_algorithm().

def work_queue.WorkQueue.specify_name (   self,
  name 
)

Change the project name for the given queue.

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
nameThe new project name.

References work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_specify_name().

def work_queue.WorkQueue.specify_priority (   self,
  priority 
)

Change the project priority for the given queue.

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
priorityAn integer that presents the priorty of this work queue master. The higher the value, the higher the priority.

References work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_specify_priority().

def work_queue.WorkQueue.specify_master_mode (   self,
  mode 
)

Specify the master mode for the given queue.

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
modeThis may be one of the following values: WORK_QUEUE_MASTER_MODE_STANDALONE or WORK_QUEUE_MASTER_MODE_CATALOG.

References work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_specify_master_mode().

def work_queue.WorkQueue.specify_worker_mode (   self,
  mode 
)

Specify the worker mode for the given queue.

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
modeThis may be one of the following values: WORK_QUEUE_WORKER_MODE_SHARED or WORK_QUEUE_WORKER_MODE_EXCLUSIVE.

References work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_specify_worker_mode().

def work_queue.WorkQueue.shutdown_workers (   self,
  n 
)

Shutdown workers connected to queue.

Gives a best effort and then returns the number of workers given the shutdown order.

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
nThe number to shutdown. To shut down all workers, specify "0".

References work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_shut_down_workers().

Referenced by work_queue.WorkQueue.__init__().

def work_queue.WorkQueue.submit (   self,
  task 
)

Submit a task to the queue.

It is safe to re-submit a task returned by wait.

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
taskA task description created from work_queue.Task.

References work_queue.WorkQueue._task_table, work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_submit().

def work_queue.WorkQueue.wait (   self,
  timeout = WORK_QUEUE_WAITFORTASK 
)

Wait for tasks to complete.

This call will block until the timeout has elapsed

Parameters:
selfReference to the current work queue object.
timeoutThe number of seconds to wait for a completed task before returning. Use an integer to set the timeout or the constant WORK_QUEUE_WAITFORTASK to block until a task has completed.

References work_queue.WorkQueue._task_table, work_queue.WorkQueue._work_queue, and work_queue_wait().
