Clockworks distributed simulation app for android devices
#Server
- Listen for environments from users over HTTPS, authentication is optional
- Get number of recent devices from Ping Queue.
- Get space in Code Queue.
- Split code based on number of available devices, (i.e. split amout is minimum of: pings received in the previous allowed window, space in queue and how much the code can be split) and add to code queue
- Respond to users with rejects/acknowledgements
- User authentication
- Ping queue: Pop off expired and read size
- Code queue: Check if full and add to Queue
- Listen for WOP Pings from users over HTTPS, authentication is optional
- Check if database complete with all results
- Respond to users with rejects/acknowledgement/compiled results
- User authentication
- Results: read/purge
- Listen for HTTP request from devices
- If RTP Ping:
- Strip any results from ping and enter in database
- Log to Ping Queue
- Respond
- If RTO Ping:
- Restart the processes time out
- Result logging: write
- Ping Queue: Add to Queue
- Code Queue: Take off Queue if available
- One for each process of the simulation
- Code Queue: Add to Queue if time out reached

#Appendix
- Yellow: Start
- Green: Data received
- Red: Response sent
- Blue: Database access
- Black: Scary Stuff
- On read:
- Pop expired pings of the top of the Queue and update size, then read size
- On write:
- Simply add ping log to the Queue
- Standard Queue of code objects that allows the threads to operate concurrently
