hnn_core.parallel_backends.MPIBackend¶
- class hnn_core.parallel_backends.MPIBackend(n_procs=None, mpi_cmd='mpiexec')[source]¶
The MPIBackend class.
- Parameters
- n_procsint | None
The number of MPI processes requested by the user. If None, then will attempt to detect number of cores (including hyperthreads) and start parallel simulation over all of them.
- mpi_cmdstr
The name of the mpi launcher executable. Will use ‘mpiexec’ (openmpi) by default.
- Attributes
- n_procsint
The number of processes MPI will actually use (spread over cores). If 1 is specified or mpi4py could not be loaded, the simulation will be run with the JoblibBackend
- mpi_cmdlist of str
The mpi command with number of procs and options to be passed to Popen
- expected_data_lengthint
Used to check consistency between data that was sent and what MPIBackend received.
- proc_queuethreading.Queue
A Queue object to hold process handles from Popen in a thread-safe way. There will be a valid process handle present the queue when a MPI åsimulation is running.
Methods
simulate(net, tstop, dt, n_trials[, postproc])Simulate the HNN model in parallel on all cores
Terminate running simulation on this MPIBackend
- simulate(net, tstop, dt, n_trials, postproc=False)[source]¶
Simulate the HNN model in parallel on all cores
- Parameters
- netNetwork object
The Network object specifying how cells are connected.
- tstopfloat
The simulation stop time (ms).
- dtfloat
The integration time step of h.CVode (ms)
- n_trialsint
Number of trials to simulate.
- postproc: bool
If False, no postprocessing applied to the dipole
- Returns
- dpl: list of Dipole
The Dipole results from each simulation trial
