PRR_Labo4

Starting the application

The binary to run the application is available in the latest release on the repo, at https://github.com/G-Houlmann/PRR_Labo4/releases/tag/v1.0 . Download the binary you need for your OS, as well as the config.json file. Specify a configuration in the config.json file and put it in the same folder as the binary. Do so on every machine specified in your configuration. The config.json file MUST be exactly the same on every machine. You can now run the binary on all the machines of your config. Don't forget to specify the id of the process as the first and only argument. Example : ./PRR_labo4 1 on linux or ./PRR_labo4.exe 1 on Windows. The application will start being usable once every machine specified in the config has the application up and running.

Note: You can build your own binary with go build in the root directory of the repo.

Configuration instructions

When filling in the configuration file, please pay attention to the following:

The process IDs must all be lower than 1000, because of an identification specification. This specification can be changed by updating a constant in the code.
In the primeDivisors array, please give at least as many prime numbers (ascending from 2, without missing any) as the number of clients you have declared. For example, if you have 5 clients, write [2, 3, 5, 7, 11].

Test scenario

Use the config.json file given, and execute the following steps. Make sure you have the trace and debug options set to true in the configuration file.

Start all the processes
In process 0, type in 1
Immediatly in process 0 again, type 7
In process 1, type 3
In process 2, type 49
In process 3, type 27
In process 3 again, type 19
In process 1, type 50
- You should get an error at this point, telling you that the number must be lower than 49
In process 1 again, type -5
- You should get an error at this point, telling you that the number must be positive
In process 1 again, type 5.2
- You should get an error at this point, telling you that the number must be an integer
In process 1 again, type hello
- You should get an error at this point, telling you that the number must be an integer

After all these steps wait a few seconds and all your requests should have received a result. The results must be as follows in the next section.
