Detailed Description

Runtime core.

A runtime core is a worker unit in DVM. It defines it's own scheduler, matcher and token dispatcher and it has a static copy of the instruction memory.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def core.runtime.Core.__init__	(		self,
			identifier,
			memory
	)

Initialize a core.

This method only initializes all the components of the core that are not dependent on multiprocessing elements.

Parameters

identifier	The identifier of this core, this identifier should be unique and it should match the identifier of this core in the collection of all the cores.
memory	A reference to the static instruction memory.

Member Function Documentation

def core.runtime.Core.__str__

(

self

)

String representation of a core.

def core.runtime.Core.__eq__	(		self,
			other
	)

See if 2 cores are equal.

def core.runtime.Core.add	(		self,
			token,
			core = None
	)

Add a token to the inbox of a core.

Parameters

token	The token to add.
core	The core to add the token to. The current core will be used if this argument is not added.

def core.runtime.Core.addToAll	(		self,
			token
	)

Add a token to all the other cores.

def core.runtime.Core.getCore

(

self

)

def core.runtime.Core.link	(		self,

def core.runtime.Core.start

(

self

)

Start the runtime.

def core.runtime.Core.stop

(

self

)

Stop the current core.

def core.runtime.Core.returnValue	(		self,
			value
	)

Return a value to the user.

Parameters

value

The value to return to the user.
