Mathematica client for BulletinBoard

BulletinBoard is an object strage for ArrayObject for debugging and data taking purposes. For more details, see BulletinBoard.

Caution

• Clients do not check whether the operation is successful or not to improve performance. Check the log of the server for the errors.
• The data is not encrypted. Please do not send any confidential data over the network.
• This crate is under development and is subject to change in specification. (Compatibility across BulletinBoard and dbgbb is ensured for the most minor version numbers.)

Install

The package can be installed via Paclet repository as

PacletInstall["Yshojihep/BulletinBoardClient"]

For the first run, you need to compile the library. Run

<< "Yshojihep`BulletinBoardClient`";

and follow the instruction.

Example

To post and read the bulletins,

<< "Yshojihep`BulletinBoardClient`";
BBSetAddr["192.168.0.3:7578"];

BBPost["test",{1,2,3}];
BBRead["test"]

Compilation

Instead of installing via Paclet, you can compile the source yourself.

First, you need to clone the repository:

cargo clone bulletin-board-mathematica
# OR
git clone https://github.com/YShoji-HEP/BulletinBoard.git

Then, go to bulletin-board-mathematica directory and run

cargo build -r

If it does not compile, see wolfram-library-link. Notice that Mathematica or Wolfram Engine has to be installed before the compilation. Then, copy target/release/libbulletin_board_mathematica.* to BulletinBoardClient/LibraryResources/.
