class spinn_front_end_common.interface.buffer_management.buffer_models.AbstractSendsBuffersFromHost[source]

Bases: object

A vertex that sends buffers of keys to be transmitted at given timestamps in the simulation.

buffering_input()[source]

Return True if the input of this vertex is to be buffered.

Return type:bool
get_next_key(region)[source]

Get the next key in the given region.

Parameters:region (int) – The region to get the next key from
Returns:The next key, or None if there are no more keys
Return type:int
get_next_timestamp(region)[source]

Get the next timestamp at which there are still keys to be sent for the given region.

Parameters:region (int) – The region to get the timestamp for
Returns:The timestamp of the next available keys
Return type:int
get_region_buffer_size(region)[source]

Get the size of the buffer to be used in SDRAM on the machine for the region in bytes.

Parameters:region (int) – The region to get the buffer size of
