How to use the Remote Execution service (client side)
In order to use the available module is necessary to use the program ccpt here available.
cctp (that stands for Communication Channel Transfer Protocol)
is the client program that allows to use the VALab remote execution.
The aim of the remote execution is to enable a user to use particular routines,
which we will call modules, without having to resort to executables or source codes.
This can be done by executing the routine by remote access on the VALab server. cctp is
the executable that allows the user to send to the VALab server the parameters
and the input file(s), containing the data that a particular module requires,
and to receive the output file(s), containing the results. cctp can also
be used by the user to check and manage the status of the requested modules executions.
cctp can be used directly by command line or
can be recalled through a SYSTEM from within any program created by the user.
This way, the module will seem like any other subroutine of the program created by the user;
the only difference is that the data processing does not take place on the local system,
but on a remote access system (another difference is that the user must "prepare"
the input file requested by the module, and recover the data produced from the output file).
All the necessary files, the maunual and instructions can be downloaded
by clicking on the links at the bottom of this page. cctp is distributed in both
linux and windows versions.
After becoming familiar with the cctp program, please visit the Available material
section to choose the desired module by clicking on the function name in
in the list, or searching using the search form.
In this page you can find the steps to be followed in order to use the remote module
with cctp. Please read the instruction given in the pertinent page in which all
the features and requirements of the selected function are explained.
You can download below all the necessary files needed to use properly the Remote Execution service.
