Reusable Nodes and Orchestration Scheme/ Dashboard Application for ChimeraPy with JSON configuration.

ChimeraPy is a Scientific, Distributed Computing Framework for Real-time Multimodal Data Retrieval and Processing. This package provides reusable nodes and orchestration scheme (CLI)/ and web dashboard application(via REST API) for ChimeraPy with JSON configuration.

Installation

Package is available on PyPI, install with pip:

$ pip install chimerapy-orchestrator

Usage for Orchestrator CLI

Installation provides cp-orchestrator command:

$ cp-orchestrator --help
usage: The CP orchestrator [-h] {orchestrate,orchestrate-worker,list-remote-workers,server} ...

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

subcommands:
  valid subcommands

  {orchestrate,orchestrate-worker,list-remote-workers,server}
    orchestrate         Orchestrate the pipeline
    orchestrate-worker  Orchestrate a worker
    list-remote-workers
                        List the remote workers
    server              Start the server

Specific subcommands also have their own help messages, and can be used cp-orchestrator <subcommand> --help.

Orchestrator CLI Example

In the configs directory, there are few configuration examples for simple ChimeraPy pipelines.

The command below will run a pipeline that uses the webcamera and showwindow nodes and runs it in a local worker:

$ cp-orchestrator orchestrate --config configs/local_camera.json

The commands below will run a pipeline that uses the webcamera node and runs it in a remote worker:

$ cp-orchestrator orchestrate --config configs/local_camera_remote_worker.json

In a separate terminal, run the remote worker:

$ cp-orchestrator orchestrate-worker --config configs/local_camera_remote_worker.json --worker-id worker1

Dashboard

The dashboard application is still in early stages of development and can't be used directly yet. However, it can be run in development mode. To run the dashboard, run the backend server first:

$ cp-orchestrator server --server-port 8000

Then, in a separate terminal, run the dashboard:

$ cd dashboard
$ npm install
$ npm run dev

Finally, open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:5173 for the dashboard.
