Summer2009:Using client server paradigm with python and slicer

• 

  Project Week Main Page

Key Investigators

• BWH: Julien de Siebenthal, Sylvain Bouix

Objective

We are interested to run intensive tasks from the Slicer python directly.

Approach, Plan

Our approach is to defer intensive computational task into another process communicating remotely with the Slicer process.

During the summer week, we will discuss improvements on the current implementation and possibly other approaches that could complement ours.

Progress

• Software for enabling a client-server paradigm is done. It uses basic socket mechanism for that purpose and was tested successfully. It mimics CLI modules written in C++.
• Enhanced options (client side) to setup the module
• Study possibility of using Pyro (RPC) to replace socket mechanism
