Hi Tomas
The thread pool fixes the issue you mention, but it was never backported
to v2.1.1. If you can move to v3, that would be the best way to go,

Hi Barry,
Thanks for explanation – I was referring to “[Moses-support]
mosesserver parallelization issue
<https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]&q=subject:%22%5C%5BMoses%5C-support%5C%5D+mosesserver+parallelization+issue%22&o=newest>”
thread in April 2014.
Do you thing the thread pool would be also the solution for this
issue reported on 2.1.1 branch.?
Thanks,
Tomas

HI Tomas
There were some issues in v2 with the way that caching was done in the
binarised phrase table. It used a cache per thread, and mosesserver
used a thread per request, so caching was effectively broken in the
server. Since last Autumn, mosesserver uses a thread pool ... and the
binarised phrase table is gone now anyway,

Hi Ulrich,
Thanks for the thorough explanation - the idea of merging the
server code back to moses is great.
Apart from this (and I know is is a huge workload), were there any
changes in the thread support? I know this part had some
limitations – as discussed on the forum.
Kind regards,
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
the plan is to fold server capabilities into the main moses
executable. In fact, that has already happened (in the sense that
you can run the main moses executable in server mode), but
functional equivalence with the old code has not been tested.
There are currently no server tests included in the regression
tests, so I left the old code mostly intact (adjusting only for
changes in the API of functions called) for legacy reasons, but
adding new functionality to mosesserver is extremely strongly
DIScouraged.
Supplying regression tests for server functionality, on the other
hand, is equally strongly ENcouraged. In a nutshell, what you get
back from calling mosesserver and moses --server should be identical.
The long-term plan is to offer through RPC calls (almost)
everything that moses offers in batch mode (i.e., send search and
output parameters through json/RCP calls and have them noticed and
respected). Notice the "long-term" there.
So mosesserver is on its way out, and moses --server-port=<port>
--server will replace the old call to mosesserver.
Best regards - Uli

Dear all,
I have spotted there were numerous commits in the server side
development - could the developers share the news/goals with
the forum? I think it might be interesting for more users –
especially those out of core team.
Thank you,
