Daily Rdahmm Detection Program

The program for daily detection and plots is now mostly done. This program runs as a stand alone process with a number of threads to run rdahmm on all stations concurrently. The number of threads can be specified as an argument to the program, with a default value of 8. Every thread schedules itself to run at 4:00am everyday, and the "number of states" parameter used for rdahmm is 5.

The program generates the resulting directories and plot images, as well as an xml file that contains both status change information within the last 10 days and the urls for the resulting files. Using this xml file, the portal can now show a list of all stations, and give the result urls for the station whose id is selected.
