Ask for help about sfctss HOT 3 CLOSED

hello, author! I get another question that what the "oracle" means in this sentence, "if oracle, we check all SFF, if non oracle, we check only my own sff" ?

Hi @SkyShiS,

Here are the answers to your questions:

• What is oracle? If a scheduler is configured with oracle=True, the scheduler acts like having access to all servers of all sites. Otherwise, if a scheduler runs with oracle=False, it will consider only site-local SFIs for taking scheduling decisions (i.e., all SFIs the SFF is in charge of). For example, when you run MppScheduler with oracle=True, it behaves like IA-MPP. If you run it with oracle=False, it behaves like STEAM.
• Do you have flow charts or pseudocode of the schedulers? We refer to the paper (Section III, IV, and V.A) for a high level description how the schedulers work -- we don't have any flow charts. However, we highly recommend starting to read the code from the flow of the packets, i.e., start at SFF.apply_logic_packet_from_ingress (

  sfctss/sfctss/model/sff.py

  Line 292 in e255af4

  def apply_logic_packet_from_ingress(self, packet):

  ) and the two methods above and below of this method.

Hope that helps!
