A lightweight library for running jobs across multiple machines. Originally designed for a cluster of Raspberry Pis.

Built as a learning exercise - you should probably use something like the JPPF framework for serious projects.

Some documentation is available on the wiki.

picobramble's Issues

Investigate creating a Java GUI

Investigate frameworks which might be suitable for a pure java GUI.

Security: encrypt & verify network data

Data sent across the network should be encrypted and integrity-verified on arrival.

Could use either a symmetric cipher with the keys in configuration files or a full asymmetric implementation.

Investigate which libraries can best accomplish this task.

Refactor web API log messages

Currently the web API always publishes all available log messages. If the log gets large, this is horribly inefficient.

There should be options to get the last 50/100/500 messages.

Alternatively, figure out a way of asynchronously publishing one message at a time so that they don't have to be combined/kept on the server side.

Use a configuration file instead of hard-coded values.

Currently BrambleConfiguration.java contains a range of configuration options for the cluster e.g.

    public static final int MASTER_PORT = 5800;
    public static final int SLAVE_PORT = 5801;
    public static final int WEB_API_SERVER_PORT = 5802;
    ...

This should be moved to a configuration file which is read on startup. Also update the documentation.
