Submodules

spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.abstract_changable_after_run module

class spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.abstract_changable_after_run.AbstractChangableAfterRun

Bases: object

An item that can be changed after a call to run, the changes to which might or might not require mapping

mark_no_changes()

Marks the point after which changes are reported. Immediately after calling this method, requires_mapping should return False.

requires_mapping

True if changes that have been made require that mapping be performed. Note that this should return True the first time it is called, as the vertex must require mapping as it has been created!

class spinn_front_end_common.abstract_models.abstract_generates_data_specification.AbstractGeneratesDataSpecification

Bases: object

generate_data_specification(spec, placement)

Generate a data specification

Parameters:

• spec (data_specification.DataSpecificationGenerator) – The data specification to write to
• placement – the placement object this spec is associated with

Return type:

None
