Constructor & Destructor Documentation

nest::proxynode::proxynode ( )
inline
nest::proxynode::proxynode ( index  gid,
index  parent_gid,
index  model_id,
index  vp 
)

Construct proxy node for internal use from.

Parameters
GIDof represented node
GIDof parent of represented node
modelid of represented node
vpof represented node

Member Function Documentation

void nest::proxynode::calibrate ( )
inlineprivatevirtual

Re-calculate dependent parameters of the node.

This function is called each time a simulation is begun/resumed. It must re-calculate all internal Variables of the node required for spike handling or updating the node.

Implements nest::Node.

void nest::proxynode::get_status ( DictionaryDatum ) const
inline
void nest::proxynode::handle ( SpikeEvent e)
inlinevirtual

Handle incoming spike events.

Default implementation of event handlers just throws an UnexpectedEvent exception.

Parameters
thrdId of the calling thread.
eEvent object.

This handler has to be implemented if a Node should accept spike events.

See also
class SpikeEvent
class UnexpectedEvent
Exceptions
UnexpectedEventThis is the default event to throw.

Reimplemented from nest::Node.

void nest::proxynode::init_buffers_ ( )
inlineprivatevirtual

Private function to initialize the buffers of a node.

This function, which must be overloaded by all derived classes, provides the implementation for initializing the buffers of a node.

See also
Node::init_buffers()

Implements nest::Node.

void nest::proxynode::init_state_ ( const Node )
inlineprivatevirtual

Private function to initialize the state of a node to model defaults.

This function, which must be overloaded by all derived classes, provides the implementation for initializing the state of a node to the model defaults; the state is the set of observable dynamic variables.

Parameters
Referenceto model prototype object.
See also
Node::init_state()
Note
To provide a reasonable behavior during the transition to the new scheme, init_state_() has a default implementation calling init_dynamic_state_().

Implements nest::Node.

bool nest::proxynode::is_proxy ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns true if the node is a proxy node.

This is implemented because the use of RTTI is rather expensive.

Reimplemented from nest::Node.

port nest::proxynode::send_test_event ( Node receiving_node,
rport  receptor_type,
synindex  syn_id,
bool  dummy_target 
)
virtual

Send an event to the receiving_node passed as an argument.

Default implementation of check_connection just throws UnexpectedEvent.

This is required during the connection handshaking to test, if the receiving_node can handle the event type and receptor_type sent by the source node.

If dummy_target is true, this indicates that receiving_node is derived from ConnTestDummyNodeBase and used in the first call to send_test_event(). This can be ignored in most cases, but Nodes sending DS*Events to their own event hooks and then *Events to their proper targets must send DS*Events when called with the dummy target, and *Events when called with the real target, see #478.

Reimplemented from nest::Node.

References nest::Network::get_model(), nest::Node::get_model_id(), nest::Node::network(), and nest::Model::send_test_event().

void nest::proxynode::set_status ( const DictionaryDatum )
inline

Proxy nodes have no properties.

If set_status() gets called for a proxy node, this is and error; we must prevent this from happening, since the user might otherwise thaw a proxy node. It also causes problems with dictionary entry checking

References assert().

void nest::proxynode::update ( Time const &  ,
const long_t  ,
const long_t   
)
inlineprivatevirtual

Bring the node from state $t$ to $t+n*dt$.

n->update(T, from, to) performs the update steps beginning at T+from .. T+to-1, ie, emitting events with time stamps T+from+1 .. T+to.

Parameters
Timenetwork time at beginning of time slice.
long_tinitial step inside time slice
long_tpost-final step inside time slice

Implements nest::Node.
