Find better approach for calculation global match

[siv2r]

How is the global match calculated? (current scenario)

• graph.json (using information stored in the database) file is created in the server
• pipeline.py is called using file
• The above step stores its output in a result folder in the server
• Finally, the output.png is displayed from the created result folder

This approach seems good, right? 🤔

Problem
If two people try to find a global match simultaneously, the graph.json and result folders will be overwritten.

Possible solutions

• allow pipline.py to create multiple result folders instead of one.
  • This will become an issue if many users run this at the same time.
  • Should we delete the result folder after the user sees the info??
  • Can we store the result data in the user session?
• Instead of creating graph.json, we can pass this info through a variable in PHP and similarly store the pipeline.py output in a variable?
