class spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.impl.MachineAllocationController(thread_name)[source]

Bases: spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.abstract_machine_allocation_controller.AbstractMachineAllocationController

How to manage the allocation of a machine so that it gets cleaned up neatly when the script dies.

Parameters:thread_name (str) –
close()[source]

Indicate that the use of the machine is complete.

class spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.impl.MachineDataSpecableVertex[source]

Bases: spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.abstract_generates_data_specification.AbstractGeneratesDataSpecification

Support for a vertex that simplifies generating a data specification.

generate_data_specification(spec, placement, machine_graph, routing_info, tags)[source]

Generate a data specification.

Parameters:
Return type:

None
generate_machine_data_specification(spec, placement, machine_graph, routing_info, iptags, reverse_iptags)[source]
Parameters:
  • spec (DataSpecificationGenerator) – The data specification to write into.
  • placement (Placement) – Where this node is on the SpiNNaker machine.
  • machine_graph (MachineGraph) – The graph containing this node.
  • routing_info (RoutingInfo) – The routing info.
  • iptags (iterable(IPTag) or None) – The (forward) IP tags for the vertex, if any

Return type:

None
class spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.impl.ProvidesKeyToAtomMappingImpl[source]

Bases: spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.abstract_provides_key_to_atom_mapping.AbstractProvidesKeyToAtomMapping

routing_key_partition_atom_mapping(routing_info, partition)[source]

Returns a list of atom to key mapping.

Parameters:
  • routing_info (RoutingInfo) – the routing info object to consider
  • partition (OutgoingEdgePartition) – the routing partition to handle.
Returns:

a iterable of tuples of atom IDs to keys.
Return type:

iterable(tuple(int,int))
class spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.impl.TDMAAwareApplicationVertex(label, constraints, max_atoms_per_core, splitter=None)[source]

Bases: pacman.model.graphs.application.application_vertex.ApplicationVertex

An application vertex that contains the code for using TDMA to spread packet transmission to try to avoid overloading any SpiNNaker routers.

Parameters:
  • label (str or None) – The name of the vertex.
  • constraints (iterable(AbstractConstraint) or None) – The initial constraints of the vertex.
  • max_atoms_per_core (int) – The max number of atoms that can be placed on a core, used in partitioning.
Raises:

PacmanInvalidParameterException – If one of the constraints is not valid
find_n_phases_for(machine_graph, n_keys_map)[source]

Compute the number of phases needed for this application vertex. This is the maximum number of packets any machine vertex created by this application vertex can send in one simulation time step.

Parameters:
Return type:

int
generate_tdma_data_specification_data(vertex_index)[source]

Generates the TDMA configuration data needed for the data spec

Parameters:vertex_index (int) – the machine vertex index in the pop
Returns:array of data to write.
Return type:list(int)
get_n_cores()[source]

Get the number of cores this application vertex is using in the TDMA.

Returns:the number of cores to use in the TDMA
Return type:int
get_tdma_provenance_item(x, y, p, desc_label, tdma_slots_missed)[source]

Get the provenance item used for the TDMA provenance

Parameters:
  • x (int) – x coordinate of the chip where this core

  • n_slots (int) – the number of slots
  • clocks_between_spikes (int) – the clock cycles to wait between spikes
  • n_phases (int) – the number of phases
  • clocks_per_cycle (int) – the number of clock cycles per TDMA cycle
tdma_sdram_size_in_bytes

The number of bytes needed by the TDMA data

Return type:int
