Minimal service implementations can be useful as a way to expose resource utilization issues in large services like the MTS and Thread Service. As part of 11.0, we developed very simple implementations of these services which can be activated at runtime with -D flags. The two are described very briefly below.
The minimal implementation is designed to work in a single-node society. This version uses a single implementation instance for the service, which does direct calls on the recipient Agent to deliver messages.
To use this service, set the following vm_parameter
-Dorg.cougaar.mts.singlenode=true
The minimal implementation uses a very simple thread pool, with no Schedulers or Controllers. The ThreadListenerService and ThreadControlService will not exist at all in this case.
To use this service, set the following vm_parameter
-Dorg.cougaar.thread.trivial=true
