# Worker # Worker
## Description ## Description
**Worker's** main role is securely execute given submission and possibly _evaluate_ results against model solutions provided by submitter. **Worker** is logicaly divided into two parts:
- **Listener** - listens and communicates with **Broker** through [ZeroMQ](http://zeromq.org/). It receives new jobs, communicates with **Evaluator** part and sends back results or progress.
- **Evaluator** - gets jobs to evaluate from **Listener** part, evaluate them (possibly in sandbox) and get to know to other part that evaluation ended. This part also communicates with **Fileserver**, downloads needed files and uploads detailed results.
**Worker** after getting evaluation request has to:
- Download the archive containing submitted source files and configuration file
- Download any supplementary files based on the configuration file, such as test
inputs or helper programs (This is done on demand, using a `fetch` command
in the assignment configuration)
- Evaluate the submission accordingly to job configuration
- During evaluation progress states can be sent back to **Broker**
- Upload the results of the evaluation to the **Fileserver**
- Notify **Broker** that the evaluation finished
