Hi Silvano,

What is your purpose for parallelization of nomos?

Run multiple nomos instances in parallel stably is not a easy task. One reason 
why we do not add this feature is because newer nomos is(should be) more 
accurate than the older one, so just schedule the latest nomos.

If you just want to compare the license report on different version of nomos, 
there is one workaround:

1.       Unpack one package to one folder through ununpack agent from command 
line.

2.       Run different version of nomos from command line on that folder to get 
license report individually, then compare them.

If this workaround works for your goal and do not how to use this workaround, 
please let me know, will give you an example in detail.

Hi Silvano,

We took the parallelization out in 2.0 because we were trying to make the 
scheduler more robust.  Also, the implementation was not efficient and involved 
a great deal of communication overhead.  We did have a plan for a more 
efficient scheme in 2.0 but it was never implemented.  We need to give this 
some more priority.

Thanks for reminding us of the importance of this feature.  I'm going to raise 
the priority and make you a "watcher" on the issue so you will see any progress.

Thanks,
Bob Gobeille

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the information. I was expecting to get parallelization as 
FOSSology 1.x does it (one job can be split among different agents), but I 
already noticed that it works as you explained.

A colleague of mine already pointed out to me, that such an enhancement is 
already planed [1].

Hi Silvano,
That should be all you need, though you might want to try an alternate 
localhost line:

[HOSTS]
localhost = localhost AGENT_DIR 10

All the agents are currently single threaded, so only one nomos will run on any 
upload.  However, if you have multiple simultaneous uploads, then multiple 
nomos's should start to service each upload.

I'm trying to get multiple Nomos instances running in parallel in a single 
machine configuration, but without success.

The block [HOSTS] of the file /usr/local/etc/fossology/fossology.conf contains 
this entry:
localhost = localhost /usr/local/etc/fossology 10

And in the block [default] of the file 
/usr/local/etc/fossology/mods-enabled/nomos/nomos.conf this is the entry:
max = -1

I also tried modifying those values, restarting the server... As far as I 
understood the documentation, those two are the only parameters that control 
how many Nomos instances can run in parallel.

Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,
   Silvano
