Class RandomizerTask

dcf.tasks.RandomizerTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

Task

public class RandomizerTask

implements Task

Randomizer Task - Simply holds an array of ints.
The solver will randomly fill them with integers.
Note: This is a circualr task, What this means is that when the task is done it will generate a new task with itself as the input.
A circular task could optionally create a different kind of task thus, you might want to create a group of tasks where each task handles only a part of the whole solution.

Constructor Summary

RandomizerTask()

Method Summary

void	addResult(java.lang.Object obj)
void	divide() Divide the task into parts - if the data is a List it is already divided.
java.util.Vector	generate() If this is a circular task it should generate a vector of new tasks
java.lang.Object	getData()
dcf.tasks.String	getName()
java.lang.Object	getResults()
int	getSize()
boolean	hasMore()
boolean	isCircular() The Distributer will call this method when a Task is returned by the client. If the task is circualr the client will call the generate() method to create additinal tasks.
java.lang.Object	next()
void	processResults() Called by Distributer when a task is returned.
void	setData(java.lang.Object obj)
void	setName(dcf.tasks.String n)
void	setParent(Worker w) Sets the parent for this task.
void	setProgress(float i) Sets the task progress (used by the Solver to set it to the Worker)

Method Detail

setData

public void setData(java.lang.Object obj)

Specified by:

setData in interface Task

Following copied from interface: dcf.server.Task

Parameters:

obj - Most commonly a Vector of data to be processed.

getData

public java.lang.Object getData()

Specified by:

getData in interface Task

divide

public void divide()

Description copied from interface: Task

Divide the task into parts - if the data is a List it is already divided.

Specified by:

divide in interface Task

hasMore

public boolean hasMore()

Specified by:

hasMore in interface Task

next

public java.lang.Object next()

Specified by:

next in interface Task

getSize

public int getSize()

Specified by:

getSize in interface Task

addResult

public void addResult(java.lang.Object obj)

Specified by:

addResult in interface Task

Following copied from interface: dcf.server.Task

Parameters:

obj - An Object to add to the results.

getResults

public java.lang.Object getResults()

Specified by:

getResults in interface Task

setName

public void setName(dcf.tasks.String n)

getName

public dcf.tasks.String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface Task

isCircular

public boolean isCircular()

Description copied from interface: Task

The Distributer will call this method when a Task is returned by the client.
If the task is circualr the client will call the generate() method to create additinal tasks.

Specified by:

isCircular in interface Task

Following copied from interface: dcf.server.Task

Returns:

true - If the task should create new tasks. false - If the task ends when returned.

generate

public java.util.Vector generate()

Description copied from interface: Task

If this is a circular task it should generate a vector of new tasks

Specified by:

generate in interface Task

Following copied from interface: dcf.server.Task

Returns:

A Vector of new Tasks.

processResults

public void processResults()

Description copied from interface: Task

Called by Distributer when a task is returned.

Specified by:

processResults in interface Task

setParent

public void setParent(Worker w)

Description copied from interface: Task

Sets the parent for this task.

Specified by:

setParent in interface Task

Following copied from interface: dcf.server.Task

Parameters:

w - The active Worker for this task.

setProgress

public void setProgress(float i)

Sets the task progress (used by the Solver to set it to the Worker)

Parameters:

i - The progress for this task.
