RQD is a software client that runs on all hosts doing work for an OpenCue deployment.
RQD's responsibilities include:
- Registering the host with Cuebot.
- Receiving instructions about what work to do.
- Monitoring the worker processes it launches and reporting on results.
RQD uses gRPC to communicate with Cuebot. It also runs its own gRPC server, which is called by the Cuebot client to send instructions to RQD.
