Current Page: NeXtMidas Training RMIF & Remoting RMIF Overview
- - - | RMIF Overview RMIF: Stands for Remote Midas InterFace Allows Midas resources (results, messages, pipes,...) to be shared between different Midas sessions on (possibly) different computers. Designed for "slow, high latency, unreliable" network links. Has a primitives written in C/Fortran for X-Midas and Java for NeXtMidas. NOTE: Not all features in the Java (like plot compression) have corresponding C/Fortran implementations. Can be run in various client/server combinations:
          NeXtMidas <--> NeXtMidas
          NeXtMidas <--> X-Midas
          X-Midas   <--> X-Midas
  For more details, please check out: The RMIF Section of the NeXtMidas User's Guide The RMIF explain file. The X-Midas sd360.txt and NeXtMidas sd360.mm macros serve as an example usage of RMIF.
  Java Experts Take Note:
  RMIF does not use Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and any similarities are conceptual only.
