pycos version 4.6.3 has been released. In this version,

  • Added zombie_period option to Computation. This represents maximum time in seconds allowed for a node to have no communication before scheduler deems a node to be dead. When a node is deemed zombie, scheduler informs status_task of Computation with abandoned status for tasks, servers and that node.
  • zombie_period and pulse_interval parameters set in Computation do not influence setting of zombie_period option for dispycosnode program - dispycosnode only uses the value of zombie_period option to determine if a client is dead.
