Create a web-service #43

Open xflouris opened 9 years ago

xflouris commented 9 years ago

Tomas and Sarah will create together a GUI web-service on 6. November.

We will use Twitter's bootstrap library for that. The GUI will be a middle-ware for obtaining the command-line parameters that will be passed to delimit. We will deploy the service on a private VPS, and prepare it for a later deployment on the HITS cluster.

We re-schedule the web-service design and implementation for either 20.11.2015 or 27.11.2015 depending on how the higher priority issues are resolved.

As stated before, we will use Twitter's bootstrap for the GUI. For communicating with the server and running mptp I propose that we use FastCGI since it works with most web-servers (Apache, IIS, lighttpd) and is fast, stable and secure.

All documentation for FastCGI is here.

Hi Tomas,

Regarding FastCGI, have you talked with Nils?

He has some dedicated solution for scheduling compute jobs on the web-services cluster.

Hi Alexi, yes, I've talked with him a couple of times. The solution they have (it was incomplete at that time anyway) is for communicating with the cluster. Reading results from the (shared) filesystem is still on our side, and this is what I suggest to be done with FastCGI. Also for testing the webservice before deplyoing it to the cluster since our program is C based.

But I'll contact Nils and ask him if there would be any problems in case we persist on using fastcgi for the cluster as well, before starting anything.

okay, sounds like a plan, thank you :-)

Use d3 for visualization, and particularly this or this scatter-plots for log-likelihood visualization when performing multiple bayesian runs.

sounds good :-)
