- Create custom MPI datatype for more efficient communication.
- Start tracker or peer logic depending on rank.
- Initialize data structures:
- Array of finished peers (1 at the index of the rank of a peer means that the peer has finished).
- Swarm array (swarm structure).
- Receive information about which files each peer has.
- Pass through a barrier to signal that file sharing can begin.
- Loop until all peers finish sharing. In this loop, the tracker receives 4 types of messages:
- Request for information about a file and its peers.
- Update about a newly downloaded chunk of a peer.
- Signal that a peer finished downloading a whole file.
- Signal that a peer finished all files it wanted.
- Send info about the files the peer has.
- Pass through a barrier to signal that it's ready to start sharing.
- Start two threads, one for download logic and the other for upload logic.
- Loop until all peers finish sharing. In this loop, the peer receives 2 types of messages:
- Request for a chunk from a fellow peer.
- Message from the tracker that all files finished sharing.
- Initialize data structures:
- Array of ints corresponding to each file to be downloaded, containing the rank of the last peer used to get a chunk from. This is used to distribute the load to other potential peers.
- Array of ints specifying if a file was fully downloaded.
- 3-dimensional array to hold for each chunk of a file, which peers have it.
- Loop until finish downloading everything. In this loop, do the following:
- Get information about wanted files.
- Download a number of chunks from peers. If after download we have all wanted files, stop the loop.
- Send info about what chunks it has.
