2.13.4 Example 1

Run dsage.setup(). This will setup the SQLite database and generate a private and public key to be used for SSL communication. It will also add a default user whose username defaults to your current username.
Run d = dsage.start_all(). This command will launch the server, the web server, workers and return an object (d) which is a connection to the server. From here on your interaction with dsage will be mainly though the d object.
Open up your browser and go to http://localhost:8082 to see the web interface of dsage. From here you will be able to see the status of your jobs, the workers connected and other important information about your dsage server.
Let's begin with a simple example. Type job = d('2+2'). If you look at the web interface, you should see that there is a new job in the table. Now one of your workers will fetch that job, execute it and present you the result. To get at the result, type job.result. It might not be there yet because for this simple computation, the network communication overhead dominates the computational time. If you want to wait for your job to finish, you can call job.wait() which will block until the job completes, at which time you can inspect job.result for the result. You can do any computation in this way by calling d.
