It is the implementation of Chandy and Lamport's snapshot algorithm with distributed banking as an example.
In this project, we instantiate four bank branches before the inspector records the global state, by default.
We can change it by altering the n_branches variable of the Bank class in bank.py.
The transaction is performed every 0.5 seconds by default. We can change it too by changing the time_unit variable in the same class.
A branch can initiate a snapshot at any time by pressing 's' in the terminal.
Although we did thorough testing of the project in Arch Linux, it should run fine in other operating systems.
The project uses the libraries provided on the default installation of python.
There aren't dependencies that you have to install via your package manager.
However, using the Literal type from the typing module makes the minimum supported version of Python 3.8.
Feel free to change the code to make it run on your version of python in your machine.
- Instantiate at least the minimum number of branches of the bank. Type the command below in different terminals.
python main.py -b - Instantiate inspector of the bank.
python main.py -iNow, the code will run as a simulation. Type 's' in respective banks for snapshot.
