Class TriadCoords

java.lang.Object

uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.TriadCoords

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<TriadCoords>

public final class TriadCoords
extends Object
implements Comparable<TriadCoords>

Triad coordinates. Boards are in groups of three (triads) that group together in a rectangular grid. The x and y coordinates say which group of three in the grid, and the z coordinate says which board within the group. The group is not itself rectangular, but tesselates on a rectangular grid.

To understand how the triad coordinate system works, consider this board layout (a classic 24 board machine, with wrap-arounds not shown):

Serialisation Formats

Defaults to being serialised as a JSON object:

{"x": 3, "y": 2, "z": 1}

and can also be deserialized from that, but can also accept being deserialised from a JSON array:

[3, 2, 1]

and can also be deserialized from its string form:

[x:3,y:2,z:1]

Field Details

x

@ValidTriadX public final @uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.ValidTriadX int x

X coordinate of triad.

y

@ValidTriadY public final @uk.ac.manchester.spinnaker.machine.board.ValidTriadY int y

Constructor Details

TriadCoords

public TriadCoords(int x, int y, int z)

Create an instance.

Parameters:

x - X coordinate.

y - Y coordinate.

z - Z coordinate.

TriadCoords

public TriadCoords(String serialForm)

Create an instance from its serial form. The serial form (where the numbers may vary) is:

 [x:3,y:5,z:2]
 

Parameters:

serialForm - The form to deserialise.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the string is not in the right form.

Method Details

asChipLocation

public ChipLocation asChipLocation()

Convert these coordinates into a machine-global chip location.

Returns:

The chip location relative to the root of the machine.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

compareTo

public int compareTo(TriadCoords other)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<TriadCoords>
