Summary Initiating a connection ClientDispatcher Database Worker 1. Client contacts dispatcher 3. Dispatcher sends IP address of worker to the client 2. Dispatcher queries database for worker, updates database accordingly 4. Client connects to worker through SSH tunnel GINI on a Cloud © November 0934 David El Achkar, Simon Foucher, Mia Hochar, Marc Atie

Summary Killing a connection Manual Client shuts down connection Sends message to dispatcher Polling (time out): Scheduler periodically polls client No response: scheduler terminates connection GINI on a Cloud © November 0935 David El Achkar, Simon Foucher, Mia Hochar, Marc Atie

Advantages No need to install back end Easier installation (less packages) Saves user trouble of software maintenance / update Cross-platform compatibility Back end can only run on Linux Front end supported by Linux and Windows GINI on a Cloud © November 0936 David El Achkar, Simon Foucher, Mia Hochar, Marc Atie

Advantages Mobility Back end runs on remote server Users can run GINI from wherever they are Resource usage Managed, automated distribution of computing resources among users Easy to monitor and to add more workers GINI on a Cloud © November 0937 David El Achkar, Simon Foucher, Mia Hochar, Marc Atie

Recommendations Move to a public cloud: Make software more accessible Provide better educational platform for students Support for additional platforms: Many different OS on market Support more platforms for expansion GINI on a Cloud © November 0938 David El Achkar, Simon Foucher, Mia Hochar, Marc Atie
