  • Method Details

    • defaultBMPforMachine

      public static BMPConnectionData defaultBMPforMachine​(InetAddress host, Integer numberOfBoards) throws UnknownHostException
      Work out the BMP connection IP address given the machine details. This is assumed to be the IP address of the machine, with 1 subtracted from the final part e.g. if the machine IP address is 192.168.0.5, the BMP IP address is assumed to be 192.168.0.4
      Parameters:
      host - the SpiNNaker machine main host
      numberOfBoards - the number of boards in the machine
      Returns:
      The BMP connection data
      Throws:
      UnknownHostException - If the IP address computations fail.

    • getVcpuAddress

      public static MemoryLocation getVcpuAddress​(int p)
      Get the address of the vcpu_t structure for the given core.
      Parameters:
      p - The core number
      Returns:
      the address

    • getVcpuAddress

      public static MemoryLocation getVcpuAddress​(HasCoreLocation core)
      Get the address of the vcpu_t structure for the given core.
      Parameters:
      core - The core
      Returns:
      the address

    • sendPortTriggerMessage

      @Deprecated(forRemoval=true) @InlineMe(replacement="connection.sendPortTriggerMessage(host)") public static void sendPortTriggerMessage​(UDPConnection<?> connection, InetAddress host) throws IOException
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
      Call UDPConnection.sendPortTriggerMessage(InetAddress) directly instead.
      Sends a port trigger message using a connection to (hopefully) open a port in a NAT and/or firewall to allow incoming packets to be received.
      Parameters:
      connection - The UDP connection down which the trigger message should be sent
      host - The address of the SpiNNaker board to which the message should be sent
      Throws:
      IOException - If anything goes wrong

    • newMessageBuffer

      public static ByteBuffer newMessageBuffer()
      Returns:
      Get a new little-endian buffer sized suitably for SpiNNaker messages.
