Question about Actors

Ray Core
1

How severe does this issue affect your experience of using Ray?

  • None: Just asking a question out of curiosity

I had a random question… Currently I have 50 identical worker actors that I use to process incoming asynch tasks that use 10 worker actors per task. I have a coordinator actor that can keep track of which worker actors are busy, which are not used, and have it do the work assignment to the actors accordingly. But I was wondering if there to have Ray keep track and do the allocation instead?

Hi @Albert , thanks for asking your question! Could you share more details about what your actors are doing? For example, does a single task actually require 10 actors (thus only 5 tasks can be in-flight at the same time with your 50 worker actors?). If you could share pseudocode, that would be great!
