The idea is to write all the code in C#, split the solution into multiple projects - one of them will be compiled into WebAssembly and will be distributed, the other one will be included as a DLL on the server.

The project consists of the following parts

1. C# solution
2. JS client

They will be described below. The library used to compile C# into WebAssembly is mono.

The C# solution contains 4 projects:

• Common - common interfaces that should be the base of the library produced as a result of our thesis.

  • IDistributedTask - an interface that should be implemented by a class that will be run on the server. It should be able to split the input data and aggregate the results.
  • ITaskFactory - an interface provided to IDistributedTask that is able to run new clients when IDistributedTask splits the input data.
  • ITask - an interface that should be implemented by a class that will be run on the client in the browser. It should be able to compute the final result given some input data.

• FactorialSumDistributed - the main task definition. The idea is to split the input data and then compute a factorial for each part, summing the results.

• FactorialTask - the code that calculates the factorial. It will be compiled to WebAssembly via mono and will be run in the browser in a WebWorker.

  Currently all the files from the Common project are added in the FactorialTask as links.

• ServerRunner - a console application that loads DLL assemblies for FactorialSumDistributed and FactorialTask, asks for data and simulates the distributed computation.

The JS client loads WebAssembly code into a WebWorker and sends any input data from the form to the worker, displaying the results as they arrive.

./build.sh

Client cannot be run directly from the filesystem due to how WebWorkers work. It has to be hosted using a server.

Python's SimpleHTTPServer:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

or Node's http-server may be used:

npx http-server -c-1

The client/webworker.html file should be opened.
