JMP plugins

Motivation

• JMP software supports so-called JMP plugins that extend JMP baseline functionality* for specific tasks.
• A plugins requires less development effort as the communication classes are already contained in the JMP.
• A plugin allows a separation of task-specific logic from communication.
• There is no need to know the port number taken by a plugin on remote machine.
• Different plugins can run on the same machine simultaneously, e.g. SCADA plugin and Remote shell (rCMD) plugin.

JMP baseline functionality includes task dispatching between available nodes according to a chosen load distribution policy, monitoring task status, sending output results from a task to the caller.
