This is "coin-server" for all the classmates in CS521 can mine for 521COIN:)))
To get more familiar with:
- The pthread library and parallelization using threads
- The producer/consumer paradigm
- Network programming with sockets
- Taking performance measurements
When the client already connect to the server, the client will request for the task first.
After that, server will create the task and send it back to client.
Then, the client can work on "mining" and get the solution then send it back to server.
Server will verify the solution is correct or not and send the bool back to client.
If the verification is True, client can mine again!!!
BIG PIC:
client --> request for task --> server
server --> give the task --> client
client working on it!!!
client --> send solutioin --> server
server do verify
server --> send verification --> client
To compile:
make
Usage:
./coin-server port [-s seed] [-a adjective_file] [-n animal_file] [-l log_file]
Options:
* -s Specify the seed number
* -a Specify the adjective file to be used
* -n Specify the animal file to be used
* -l Specify the log file to be used
client:
./client localhost port
This picture shows that our client request for the task and start working on it.
After that, client will send the solution to the server.
This shows that server got the request from the client.
Then, send the task to client immediately.
After server got the solution sent by client. It will do verification. And send it back to that client
