inlinevirtual

Called when SIGINT or SIGTERM has been seen.

Allows components opportunity to clean up external state.

virtual void SST::Component::finish ( )

inlinevirtual

References getCurrentSimTime().

virtual void SST::Component::init ( unsigned int phase )

inlinevirtual

Component's type, set by the factory when the object is created.

It is identical to the configuration string used to create the component. I.e. the XML "<component id="aFoo"><foo>..." would set component::type to "foo" Used during the init phase. The method will be called each phase of initialization. Initialization ends when no components have sent any data.

Module * SST::Component::loadModule	(	std::string	type,
		Params &	params
	)

Loads a module from an element Library.

Parameters

type	Fully Qualified library.moduleName
params	Parameters the module should use for configuration

Returns: handle to new instance of module, or NULL on failure.

Module * SST::Component::loadModuleWithComponent	(	std::string	type,
		Component *	comp,
		Params &	params
	)

Loads a module from an element Library.

Parameters

type	Fully Qualified library.moduleName
comp	Pointer to component to pass to Module's constructor
params	Parameters the module should use for configuration

Returns: handle to new instance of module, or NULL on failure.

SubComponent * SST::Component::loadSubComponent	(	std::string	type,
		Component *	comp,
		Params &	params
	)

Loads a SubComponent from an element Library.

Parameters

type	Fully Qualified library.moduleName
comp	Pointer to component to pass to SuComponent's constructor
params	Parameters the module should use for configuration

Returns: handle to new instance of SubComponent, or NULL on failure.

void SST::Component::primaryComponentDoNotEndSim ( )

Tells the simulation that it should not exit.

The component will remain in this state until a call to primaryComponentOKToEndSim().

See also: Component::registerAsPrimaryComponent(); Component::primaryComponentOKToEndSim()

References SST::Simulation::getExit(), getId(), SST::Simulation::getRank(), and SST::Exit::refInc().

void SST::Component::primaryComponentOKToEndSim ( )

Tells the simulation that it is now OK to end simulation.

Simulation will not end until all primary components have called this function.

See also: Component::registerAsPrimaryComponent(); Component::primaryComponentDoNotEndSim()

References SST::Simulation::getExit(), getId(), SST::Simulation::getRank(), and SST::Exit::refDec().

virtual void SST::Component::printStatus ( Output & out )

inlinevirtual

Called by the Simulation to request that the component print it's current status.

Useful for debugging.

Parameters

out	The Output class which should be used to print component status.

void SST::Component::registerAsPrimaryComponent ( )

Register as a primary component, which allows the component to specifiy when it is and is not OK to end simulation.

The simulator will not end simulation natuarally (through use of the Exit object) while any primary component has specified primaryComponentDoNotEndSim(). However, it is still possible for Actions other than Exit to end simulation. Once all primary components have specified primaryComponentOKToEndSim(), the Exit object will trigger and end simulation.

This must be called during simulation wireup (i.e during the constructor for the component). By default, the state of the primary component is set to OKToEndSim.

If no component registers as a primary component, then the Exit object will not be used for that simulation and simulation termination must be accomplished through some other mechanism (e.g. –stopAt flag, or some other Action object).

See also: Component::primaryComponentDoNotEndSim(); Component::primaryComponentOKToEndSim()

TimeConverter * SST::Component::registerClock	(	std::string	freq,
		Clock::HandlerBase *	handler,
		bool	regAll = `true`
	)

Registers a clock for this component.

Parameters

freq	Frequency for the clock in SI units
handler	Pointer to Clock::HandlerBase which is to be invoked at the specified interval
regAll	Should this clock perioud be used as the default time base for all of the links connected to this component

References defaultTimeBase, SST::LinkMap::getLinkMap(), and SST::Simulation::registerClock().

Referenced by SST::SubComponent::registerClock().

bool SST::Component::registerExit ( )

Register that the simulation should not end until this component says it is OK to.

Calling this function (generally done in Component::setup() or in component constructor) increments a global counter. Calls to Component::unregisterExit() decrements the counter. The simulation cannot end unless this counter reaches zero, or the simulation time limit is reached. This counter is synchonized periodically with the other nodes.

See also: Component::unregisterExit()

References SST::Simulation::getExit(), getId(), SST::Simulation::getRank(), and SST::Exit::refInc().

TimeConverter * SST::Component::registerOneShot	(	std::string	timeDelay,
		OneShot::HandlerBase *	handler
	)

Registers a OneShot event for this component.

Note: OneShot cannot be canceled, and will always callback after the timedelay.

Parameters

timeDelay	Time delay for the OneShot in SI units
handler	Pointer to OneShot::HandlerBase which is to be invoked at the specified interval

References SST::Simulation::registerOneShot().

template<typename T >

Statistic<T>* SST::Component::registerStatisticCore	(	std::string	statName,
		std::string	statSubId = `""`
	)

inline

Registers a statistic.

If Statistic is allowed to run (controlled by Python runtime parameters), then a statistic will be created and returned. If not allowed to run, then a NullStatistic will be returned. In either case, the returned value should be used for all future Statistic calls. The type of Statistic and the Collection Rate is set by Python runtime parameters. If no type is defined, then an Accumulator Statistic will be provided by default. If rate set to 0 or not provided, then the statistic will output results only at end of sim (if output is enabled).

Parameters

statName	Primary name of the statistic. This name must match the defined ElementInfoStatistic in the component, and must also be enabled in the Python input file.
statSubId	An additional sub name for the statistic

Returns: Either a created statistic of desired type or a NullStatistic depending upon runtime settings.

TimeConverter * SST::Component::registerTimeBase	(	std::string	base,
		bool	regAll = `true`
	)

Registers a default time base for the component and optionally sets the the component's links to that timebase.

Useful for components which do not have a clock, but would like a default timebase.

Parameters

base	Frequency for the clock in SI units
regAll	Should this clock perioud be used as the default time base for all of the links connected to this component

References defaultTimeBase, SST::LinkMap::getLinkMap(), SST::TimeLord::getTimeConverter(), and SST::Simulation::getTimeLord().

Cycle_t SST::Component::reregisterClock	(	TimeConverter *	freq,
		Clock::HandlerBase *	handler
	)

Reactivates an existing Clock and Handler.

Returns: time of next time clock handler will fire

References SST::Simulation::reregisterClock().

Referenced by SST::SubComponent::reregisterClock().

virtual void SST::Component::setup ( )

inlinevirtual

Called after all components have been constructed and inialization has completed, but before simulation time has begun.

bool SST::Component::unregisterExit ( )

Indicate permission for the simulation to end.

This function is the mirror of Component::registerExit(). It decrements the global counter, which, upon reaching zero, indicates that the simulation can terminate.

See also: Component::registerExit()

References SST::Simulation::getExit(), getId(), SST::Simulation::getRank(), and SST::Exit::refDec().
