class amuse.rfi.core.CodeFunction(interface, owner, specification)

Implementation of the runtime call to the remote process.

Performs the encoding of python arguments into lists of values, sends a message over an MPI channel and waits for a result message, decodes this message and returns.

class amuse.rfi.core.CodeFunctionWithUnits(interface, owner, specification)
class amuse.rfi.core.CodeInterface(name_of_the_worker='worker_code', **options)

Abstract base class for all interfaces to legacy codes.

When a subclass is instantiated, a number of subprocesses will be started. These subprocesses are called workers as they implement the interface and do the actual work of the instantiated object.

before_get_data_store_names()

called before getting data store names (for state model) - should eventually not be necessary

before_get_parameter()
Called everytime just before a parameter is retrieved in using::

instance.parameter.name

before_new_set_instance()

(Can be) called everytime just before a new set is created

before_set_interface_parameter()
Called everytime just before a interface parameter is updated in using::

instance.parameter.name = newvalue

before_set_parameter()
Called everytime just before a parameter is updated in using::

instance.parameter.name = newvalue

class amuse.rfi.core.LegacyFunctionSpecification(counter=[231])

Specification of a legacy function. Describes the name, result type and parameters of a legacy function.

The legacy functions are implemented by legacy codes. The implementation of legacy functions is in C/C++ or Fortran. To interact with these functions a specification of the legacy function is needed. This specification is used to determine how to encode and decode the parameters and results of the function. Objects of this class describe the specification of one function.

>>> specification = LegacyFunctionSpecification()
>>> specification.name = "test"
>>> specification.addParameter("one", dtype="int32", direction = specification.IN)
>>> specification.addParameter("two", dtype="float64", direction = specification.OUT)
>>> specification.result_type = "int32"
>>> print specification
function: int test(int one)
output: double two, int __result
IN = <object object>

Used to specify that a parameter is used as an input parameter, passed by value

INOUT = <object object>

Used to specify that a parameter is used as an input and an outpur parameter, passed by reference

LENGTH = <object object>

Used to specify that a parameter is used as the length parameter for the other parameters

OUT = <object object>

Used to specify that a parameter is used as an output parameter, passed by reference

addParameter(name, dtype='i', direction=<object object>, description='', default=None, unit=None)

Extend the specification with a new parameter.

The sequence of calls to addParameter is important. The first call will be interpreted as the first argument, the second call as the second argument etc.

Parameters
  • name – Name of the parameter, used in documentation and function generation

  • dtype – Datatype specification string

  • direction – Direction of the argument, can be IN, OUT or INOUT

  • description – Description of the argument, for documenting purposes

  • default – An optional default value for the parameter

class amuse.rfi.core.PythonCodeInterface(implementation_factory=None, name_of_the_worker=None, **options)

Base class for codes having a python implementation

Parameters

implementation_factory – Class of the python implementation

class amuse.rfi.core.legacy_function(specification_function)

Decorator for legacy functions.

The decorated function cannot have any arguments. This means the decorated function must not have a self argument.

The decorated function must return a LegacyFunctionSpecification.

>>> class LegacyExample(object):
...     @legacy_function
...     def evolve():
...          specification = LegacyFunctionSpecification()
...          return specification
...
>>> x = LegacyExample()
>>> x.evolve.specification 
<amuse.rfi.core.LegacyFunctionSpecification object at 0x...>
>>> LegacyExample.evolve 
<amuse.rfi.core.legacy_function object at 0x...>
>>> x.evolve 
<amuse.rfi.core.CodeFunction object at 0x...>
Parameters

specification_function – The function to be decorated

specification

Returns the specification for the call.

amuse.rfi.core.stop_interfaces(exceptions=[])

Stop the workers of all instantiated interfaces.

All instantiated interfaces will become unstable after this call!
