# Worker ## 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 ## Architecture Picture below is overall internal architecture of worker which shows its defined classes with private variables and public functions.
