TL;DR: A plugin to control Task Spoolers remotely in multiple servers.
On its own, Messenger does not do anything much interesting beyond
parsing command lines and sending/receiving messages.
Messenger enables users to use Task Spooler remotely from their PCs.
Users can also control multiple Task Spoolers in multiple remote servers.
A scenario in which Messenger can be potentially useful is that
users want to run some heavy task on remote servers.
Messenger can automatically transfer the script and data via the --sync flag,
and then execute the task under Task Spooler.
This is what I do almost everyday, and is the motivation that urged me to
develop Messenger in the first place.
There are two separate steps to install Messenger properly.
- Install Messenger-server in a remote server following the instructions.
- Install Messenger-client as instructed.
Sometimes, a GPU task may randomly hang.
- This is due to
torch.multiprocessing.set_sharing_strategy('file_system').
This does not have anything to do with Facebook's Messenger, even though this Messenger does send and receive messages.
Most but not all the written modules are properly checked. No replacements or refunds for buggy performance. All PRs are welcome.
