It does not contain any executables, default input files and parameters needed to run the workflow.
The MS Windows executable program, documentation, input file converter and source code for Pedant (written in Borland Delphi version 7.0) are available from http://www.stats.gla.ac.uk/~paulj/pedant.html.html
There is no requirement of the underlying executable to parse the input JSON, but using this JSON input can greatly simplify the command-line arguments that need to be defined and parsed by the underlying command-line executable.
The conceptual description contains specific details of the mapped application, such as: name, description, initial and intermediary inputs, outputs, executable processes, cost associated with each execution, etc.
The machines holding input and executable files are called data servers.
This information includes the location of input and executable files, the deadline for task completion and the previously mentioned task requirements.
In fact, Spark-VS uses the map RDD primitive to pipe each RDD record to a docking executable instance via standard input and takes the results back via standard output.
This is provided in the form of DLLs (dynamically linked libraries) with the calling convention of C. In addition, the AUX interface can be used in MATLAB through MEX (MATLAB executable), where a string input of AUX expressions (including variable definitions across multiple lines) is interpreted and the intended signal is generated.
Parser generators transform a user-provided Context-Free Grammar (CFG) into an executable component, which parses an input according to the specification given.
In the third step, users invoke scripts to build libraries and executable, and prestage the standard input data required by the simulation.
