CTsource is an example of a CloudTurbine source utility. It can be used to generate data to pipe to other CloudTurbine applications for testing purposes. It provides an example of writing a CloudTurbine source application using the CTwriter class.
CTsource is packaged in the CTexample.jar file and can be run as follows:
|
0 1 2 |
java -cp CTexample.jar CTsource [source_folder] |
The default output source folder is “CTsource”.
CTsource creates a number of output ZIP files where each ZIP file contains 5 (unpacked) data points on each of 3 channels: “c0” (numbers saved as text), “c1.f32” (32-bit floating point numbers) and “c2.txt” (numbers saved as text).
A related source utility (also located in CTexample.jar) is CTsourceftp. This utility sends 2 channels of numerical data (“foo” and “bar”) to a user-specified FTP server. CTsourceftp is executed as follows:
|
0 1 2 |
java -cp CTexample.jar CTsourceftp [source_folder [host [user [pw]]]] |
where the default arguments are as follows:
- source_folder = “CTsource”
- host = “localhost”
- user = “user”
- pw = “pw”
CTsourceftp creates a number of output ZIP files where each ZIP file contains one data point for each output channel.
