Package uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.alloc.bmp

Interface SpiNNakerControl

All Known Implementing Classes:

SpiNNakerControlDummy

public interface SpiNNakerControl

How to tell a SpiNNaker BMP (specifically one that manages a frame) to turn on boards, turn them off, and to turn off links on the perimeter of an allocation.

Implementations of this are expected to be prototype beans that have a constructor that takes two arguments:

TheCls(SpallocAPI.Machine machine, BMPCoords bmp)

Note that SpiNNaker-2 will have a different concrete implementation of this, and functionality implemented by this might eventually move into the transceiver.

Method Details

powerOnAndCheck

void powerOnAndCheck(List<uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.BMPBoard> boards)
              throws ProcessException,
InterruptedException,
IOException

Switch on a collection of boards managed by a BMP on a machine and check that they've come up correctly.

Note that this operation can take some time.

Parameters:

boards - The local-relative boards to switch on.

Throws:

ProcessException - If a BMP sends a failure message.

IOException - If network I/O fails or we reach the limit on retries.

InterruptedException - If we're interrupted.

setLinkOff

void setLinkOff(Link link)
         throws ProcessException,
IOException,
InterruptedException

Turns a link off. (We never need to explicitly switch a link on; that's implicit in switching on its board.)

Parameters:

link - The link to turn off.

Throws:

ProcessException - If a BMP rejects a message.

IOException - If network I/O fails.

InterruptedException - If the communications were interrupted.

powerOff

void powerOff(Collection<uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.BMPBoard> boards)
       throws ProcessException,
InterruptedException,
IOException

Turn off boards managed by a BMP. Turning off a board also turns off its links.

Parameters:

boards - The local-relative ids of the boards to turn off.

Throws:

ProcessException - If a BMP sends a failure message.

IOException - If network I/O fails or we reach the limit on retries.

InterruptedException - If we're interrupted.

readSerial

String readSerial(uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.BMPBoard board)
           throws ProcessException,
InterruptedException,
IOException

Read a BMP serial number from the given board.

Parameters:

board - The board to read from.

Returns:

The serial number.

Throws:

ProcessException - If a BMP sends a failure message.

IOException - If network I/O fails or we reach the limit on retries.

InterruptedException - If we're interrupted.

readTemp

ADCInfo readTemp(uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.BMPBoard board)
          throws ProcessException,
IOException,
InterruptedException

Read the temperature data from the given board.

Parameters:

board - The board to read from.

Returns:

The temperature (and fan speed and voltage) data.

Throws:

ProcessException - If a BMP sends a failure message.

IOException - If network I/O fails or we reach the limit on retries.

InterruptedException - If we're interrupted.

readBlacklist

Blacklist readBlacklist(uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.BMPBoard board)
                 throws ProcessException,
InterruptedException,
IOException

Read a blacklist from the given board.

Parameters:

board - The board to read the blacklist from.

Returns:

The blacklist.

Throws:

ProcessException - If a BMP sends a failure message.

IOException - If network I/O fails or we reach the limit on retries.

InterruptedException - If we're interrupted.

writeBlacklist

void writeBlacklist(uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.BMPBoard board,
 Blacklist blacklist)
             throws ProcessException,
InterruptedException,
IOException

Write a blacklist to the given board.

Parameters:

board - The board to write the blacklist to.

blacklist - The blacklist to write.

Throws:

ProcessException - If a BMP sends a failure message.

IOException - If network I/O fails or we reach the limit on retries.

InterruptedException - If we're interrupted.

ping

void ping(List<uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.BMPBoard> boards)

Ping the given boards.

Parameters:

boards - The boards to ping.

close

void close()

Close the controller and release any resources it holds.
