PhysicalModel Class Reference #include <physicalmodel.h> Inheritance diagram for PhysicalModel: List of all members. Detailed Description Base class of all physical models to be used in CSIM simulations. These models take input from readouts and produce one or more outputs to analog synapses. Within a transform function you can also receive input from any external source. Public Member Functions PhysicalModel (int input_channels, int output_channels) virtual ~PhysicalModel (void) virtual int advance (void) Calculates the next output of the physical model. virtual int addIncoming (Advancable *Incoming) This method will be called if object Incoming wants to send information to this object. virtual int addInput (Advancable *Incoming, char *inputname) Connect a readout output to a named input of the model. virtual int addOutgoing (Advancable *Outgoing) This method will be called if this object wants to send information to object Outgoing. virtual int addOutput (Advancable *Outgoing, char *outputname) Connect an output channel of the model to a synapse. virtual int transform (double **I, double *O)=0 virtual void reset () virtual int updateInternal () const char * getInputChannelName (int index) const char * getOutputChannelName (int index) Protected Member Functions int register_input_channel (const char *name) int register_output_channel (const char *name) Protected Attributes Advancable ** incoming A list of incoming model-inputs. int nIncoming Number of inputs. int nIncomingAlloc Current size of array (in number of inputs) allocated for inputs. AnalogSynapse *** outgoing An array of outgoing synapses. int * nOutgoing Number of outgoing synapses per channel. int * nOutgoingAlloc Current size of array (in number of synapses) allocated for outgoing synapses per channel. int nOutputChannels Number of output channels. map< string, int > input_channel_names Mapping of input-channel names to indices. map< string, int > output_channel_names Mapping of output-channel names to indices. Private Attributes double ** inputs Storage for input value-pointers. double * outputs Storage for output values. int last_input_index Last registered input index. int last_output_index Last registered output index. Constructor & Destructor Documentation PhysicalModel::PhysicalModel (  int  input_channels, int  output_channels )    Constructs a new physical model. Parameters: input_channels  How many input channels are there? output_channels  How many output channels are there? PhysicalModel::~PhysicalModel (  void   )  [virtual]   Frees the memory Member Function Documentation int PhysicalModel::addInput (  Advancable *  Incoming, char *  inputname )  [virtual]   Connect a readout output to a named input of the model. Parameters: inputname  Name of the input channel Incoming  Pointer to the input channel int PhysicalModel::addOutput (  Advancable *  Outgoing, char *  outputname )  [virtual]   Connect an output channel of the model to a synapse. Parameters: outputname  Name of the output channel Outgoing  Pointer to the output channel const char * PhysicalModel::getInputChannelName (  int  index  )    Returns the names of the input- and output - channels. const char * PhysicalModel::getOutputChannelName (  int  index  )    Returns the name of an output-channel. int PhysicalModel::register_input_channel (  const char *  name  )  [protected]   Parameters: name  Name of the new input channel Returns: Index of the new channel int PhysicalModel::register_output_channel (  const char *  name  )  [protected]   Parameters: name  Name of the new output channel Returns: Index of the new channel virtual void PhysicalModel::reset (  void   )  [inline, virtual]   Resets the information stored within the model. Implements Advancable. Reimplemented in ArmModel. virtual int PhysicalModel::transform (  double **  I, double *  O )  [pure virtual]   Transforms the current inputs to new output values. Parameters: I  Array of pointers to input values from the readouts. O  Array of output values. Returns: -1 if an error occured, 1 for success. Implemented in ArmModel. int PhysicalModel::updateInternal (   )  [virtual]   This function is called after parameters are updated. Reimplemented from csimClass. Reimplemented in ArmModel.
