Overview

fractalpooluser is a Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) pool user (PU) for the FractalGenerator service. It uses a Qt-based X11 GUI.

Arguments

The following options are available:

-identifier=PU_identifier

Sets a fixed PU identifier. Handle with care!

-poolhandle=pool_handle

Sets the PH to a non-default value; otherwise, the default setting is "FractalGeneratorPool".

Service Parameters:
-configdir=directory

Sets a directory to look for FGP config files. From all FGP files (pattern: *.fgp) in this directory, random files are selected for the calculation of requests.

-caption=window_title

Sets the output window title.

-width=pixels

Sets the width of the window and the images to be calculated.

-height=pixels

Sets the height of the window and the images to be calculated.

-threads=threads

Sets the number of parallel sessions to use for processing of each image.

-sendtimeout=milliseconds

Sets the transmission timeout.

-recvtimeout=milliseconds

Sets the receive timeout.

-interimagetime=seconds

Sets the pause time between two image calculations in seconds.

-imagestorageprefix=file_name_prefix

Sets a file name prefix for saving the calculated images. If set, each successfully calculated image is stored to the given location as PNG file, with a 6-digit file number added.

-colormarks

Turns on color change on session failover.

-nocolormarks

Turns off color change on session failover.

-sessions

Turns on color change between different sessions.

-nosessions

Turns off color change between different sessions.

ASAP Protocol Parameters:
-registrar=address:port

Adds a static PR entry into the Registrar Table. It is possible to add multiple entries.

-registrarannouncetimeout=milliseconds

Sets the timeout for ASAP announces via multicast.

-registrarconnecttimeout=milliseconds

Sets the timeout for ASAP connection establishment.

-registrarconnectmaxtrials=trials

Sets the maximum number of ASAP connection establishment trials.

-registrarrequesttimeout=milliseconds

Sets the timeout for ASAP requests.

-registrarresponsetimeout=milliseconds

Sets the timeout for waiting to receive ASAP responses.

-registrarrequestmaxtrials=trials

Sets the maximum number of ASAP request trials.

Component Status Protocol (CSP) Parameters:
-cspserver=address:port

Sets the address of a CSP monitor server. By default, the content of the environment variable CSP_SERVER is used. If not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.

-cspinterval=milliseconds

Sets the interval for the CSP status updates in milliseconds. By default, the content of the environment variable CSP_INTERVAL is used. If not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.

Logging Parameters:
-logappend=filename

Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); output will be appended to given file.

-logcolor=on|off

Turns ANSI colorization of the logging output on or off.

-logfile=filename

Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); given file will be overwritten.

-loglevel=0-9

Sets the logging verbosity from 0 (none) to 9 (very verbose). It is recommended to use at least a value of 2 to see possibly important error messages and warnings.

Environment

fractalpooluser uses the environment variables CSP_SERVER and CSP_INTERVAL to define a CSP server to send reports to in the specified interval.
