System¶
In a System model, you define Hosts, Users, Networks, and Links:
Hosts¶
The Hosts which are computers with a specified OS, Architecture, Device ID, and Device ID Command. The Device ID allows the user to delineate between two different devices (e.g. a BeagleBone Black and an NVIDIA Jetson TK1) which may have the same Architecture (e.g. armv7l), but may need to be separated for binary/library incompatibility. Because these devices may have different subsystems, we allow the user to specify the Device ID Command which is run on the host and should return a string containing the specified Device ID. Hosts can have any number of Interface children, which are displayed as ports on the Host.
Users¶
The Users which have an associated SSH Key location and Directory. The user’s Directory is where any processes started during experiment deployment or compilation on behalf of the user will be run and where any artifacts will be generated.
Networks¶
A Network defines the Subnet of IP addresses available as well as the Netmask which, together with the Subnet defines the range of available IP addresses.
Links¶
Links connect a hosts Interface to a Network and has an associated IP address that the interface will have on that network. The user can create links and assign the IP addresses by clicking and dragging from the host’s interface to a network. The IP address is displayed on the link and can be edited by clicking on the Link and editing its IP property in the Property Panel.
