Detailed Description

The PowerManagementBackend is responsible for switching neuromorphic hardware devices on and off when necessary and to automatically reset them in case there is an error during the execution, which are sometimes caused by buggy firmware. E.g. the Spikey device sometimes looses the USB connection, which can only be solved by a power cycle. Furthermore, due to annoying noise being emitted from the device, it is extremely important for the sanity of the people sitting in the same room, that the device is switched on exactly if experments are running.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

cypress::PowerManagementBackend::PowerManagementBackend	(	std::shared_ptr< PowerDevice >	device,
		std::unique_ptr< Backend >	backend
	)

Creates a new PowerManagementBackend instance.

Parameters

device	is the device which is responsible for switching the power to the neuromorphic hardware.
backend	is the backend which actually executes the network.

cypress::PowerManagementBackend::PowerManagementBackend	(	std::unique_ptr< Backend >	backend,
		const std::string &	config_filename = ""
	)

cypress::PowerManagementBackend::~PowerManagementBackend ( )

override

Destroys the PowerManagementBackend backend instance.

Member Function Documentation

std::string cypress::PowerManagementBackend::name ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the canonical name of the backend. Forward the call to the actual backend being wrapped by the PowerManagementBackend.

Implements cypress::Backend.

void cypress::Backend::run ( NetworkBase &  network, Real  duration = 0.0  ) const

inherited

Simulates the given spiking neural network for the given duration.

Parameters

network	is the network that should be simulated. The simulation result will be written to the network instance.
duration	is the duration for which the network should be simulated.

std::unordered_set<const NeuronType *> cypress::PowerManagementBackend::supported_neuron_types ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the neuron types supported by the actual backend.

Implements cypress::Backend.
