Manager/Worker Paradigm

• The Manager/Worker Paradigm consists of one manager process and two or more worker processes

• The manager is responsible for routing messages/tasks to the workers and determining when all the work is finished

• The manager and worker processes can exist in three states:

  • Initial State
  • Working State
  • Finalize State

• In order to utilize the Manager/Worker Paradigm, the developer must write the three functions for the states which are registered with the Manager/Worker paradigm

• The Manager/Worker paradigm calls the appropriate function based on its state
