Expiration Timers
==================
.. automodule:: torch.distributed.elastic.timer
.. currentmodule:: torch.distributed.elastic.timer
Client Methods
---------------
.. autofunction:: torch.distributed.elastic.timer.configure
.. autofunction:: torch.distributed.elastic.timer.expires
Server/Client Implementations
------------------------------
Below are the timer server and client pairs that are provided by torchelastic.
.. note:: Timer server and clients always have to be implemented and used
in pairs since there is a messaging protocol between the server
and client.
Below is a pair of timer server and client that is implemented based on
a ``multiprocess.Queue``.
.. autoclass:: LocalTimerServer
.. autoclass:: LocalTimerClient
Below is another pair of timer server and client that is implemented
based on a named pipe.
.. autoclass:: FileTimerServer
.. autoclass:: FileTimerClient
Writing a custom timer server/client
--------------------------------------
To write your own timer server and client extend the
``torch.distributed.elastic.timer.TimerServer`` for the server and
``torch.distributed.elastic.timer.TimerClient`` for the client. The
``TimerRequest`` object is used to pass messages between
the server and client.
