CUGetReg's Computation Backend (cgrcompute)

Overview

CUGetReg Computation is a backend for performing CPU-intensive tasks. The system is designed with following ideas:

  • Complementing Main NodeJS Backend: NodeJS is not good at CPU-intensive task, so by off-loading the tasks to this backend, the task can be done more efficiently.
  • Multi Processing: This backend use Multi-Processing Pool to maximize throughput of tasks processing.
  • gRPC: To expose API for the main backend. This backend use gRPC to provides self-describing API

Functionality

Currently, this backend handles:

  • Course Recommendation System

Running the server

To start contributing to this repository:

  1. Create VirtualEnv
::
python -m venv myvenv source myvenv/bin/activate
  1. Install the package
::
make init
  1. Config the server: Copy config.template.ini to config.ini and modify as needed.
  2. Launch the server
::
python -m cgrcompute.server

Development

  • Typing are usually describe either by unit-test or type-hint.
  • Some functionality may requires external service, I'm working on how to fix that.
    • Drill can be proxied.
