> I just realized that there is no real Jira issue for the task I am currently
> working on.
> I am currently reworking a few things regarding Iteration Synchronization,
> Accumulators and Aggregators. Currently the synchronization at the end of one
> superstep is done through channel events. That makes it hard to track the
> current status of iterations. That is why I am changing this synchronization
> to use RPC calls with the JobManager, so that the JobManager manages the
> current status of all iterations.
> Currently we use Accumulators outside of iterations and Aggregators inside of
> iterations. Both have a similiar function, but a bit different interfaces and
> handling. I want to unify these two concepts. I propose that we stick in the
> future to Accumulators only. Aggregators therefore are removed and
> Accumulators are extended to cover the usecases Aggregators were used fore
> before. The switch to RPC for iterations makes it possible to also send the
> current Accumulator values at the end of each superstep, so that the
> JobManager (and thereby the webinterface) will be able to print intermediate
> accumulation results.
