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

2. Install the package

::

make init

3. Config the server: Copy config.template.ini to config.ini and modify as needed.
4. 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.
