SchedulerFrontend Class Reference

#include "vault/gear/scheduler-frontend.hpp"

Description

Access point to the scheduler service provided by the back-end.

Steam-Layer uses this service as the primary means of instructing the vault; suitably prepared and wired frame render jobs are handed over to the scheduler for time-bound or bandwidth-controlled execution

Todo:

this is planned to become the frontend to the render node network, which can be considered at the lower end of the middle layer; the actual render operations are mostly implemented by the vault layer

define the low-level scheduler interface and hook in the necessary calls to implement this frontend. ////////TODO WIP as of 9/2013

activateTracing()

void activateTracing ( )

protected

Switch the complete engine into diagnostics mode.

This activates additional logging and reporting facilities, allowing to verify some specific operations within the engine did indeed happen. Activating this mode incurs a performance hit.
