Module contents

class spynnaker.pyNN.extra_algorithms.splitter_components.AbstractSpynnakerSplitterDelay

Bases: object

Defines that a splitter is able to handle delays in some way.

Ideally the splitter, and therefore the vertices it creates, are able to handle some delay themselves and if more is needed have the ability to accept spikes from a DelayExtensionMachineVertex.

accepts_edges_from_delay_vertex() → bool[source]

Confirms that the splitter’s vertices can handle spikes coming from a DelayExtensionMachineVertex.

If this method returns False and the users ask for a delay larger than that allowed by max_support_delay(), an exception will be raised saying a different splitter is required.

Return type:

bool

abstractmethod max_support_delay() → int[source]

returns the max amount of delay this post vertex can support.

Returns:

max delay supported in ticks

Return type:

int

class spynnaker.pyNN.extra_algorithms.splitter_components.AbstractSupportsOneToOneSDRAMInput

Bases: object

An interface for a splitter that supports one-to-one input using SDRAM. The splitter is assumed to handle the splitting on any inputs that are actually one-to-one, as it will have to create the vertices.

Determine if the source vertex of the given projection is to be handled by the target splitter.

Parameters:

projection (Projection) – The projection to check the source of

Return type:

bool

class spynnaker.pyNN.extra_algorithms.splitter_components.SplitterDelayVertexSlice

Bases: AbstractSplitterCommon[DelayExtensionVertex]

Handles the splitting of the DelayExtensionVertex via slice logic.

DELAY_RECORDING_ERROR = 'The delay extensions does not record any variables. Therefore asking for them is deemed an error.'
NEED_EXACT_ERROR_MESSAGE = 'DelayExtensionsSplitters need exact incoming slices. Please fix and try again'
