Send data mode

 

This mode copies data from the servant nodes to the master node and was created to reduce the amount of time spent relaying information back to the master. One send data task is assigned to each servant node. If many replicates are run on the same host, it is much more efficient to send all of the information back to the master at once, rather than piecemeal. The send data mode also performs rudimentary housekeeping on the remote node, cleaning up after the servant tasks and preparing for the next time pLUCAS is run.
