Member Function Documentation

void PV::Publisher::copyForward ( double  lastUpdateTime)

Keeps the data store in sync if the time advances but the data doesn't change. If the number of levels is greater than one, copy the previous level to the current level; otherwise do nothing. Using this instead of publish() avoids an unnecessary border exchange.

Definition at line 101 of file Publisher.cpp.

PVLayerCube PV::Publisher::createCube ( int  delay = 0)

creates a PVLayerCube pointing to the data in the data store at the given delay. This method blocks until any pending border exchange for that delay level are completed.

Definition at line 60 of file Publisher.cpp.

int PV::Publisher::publish ( double  lastUpdateTime)

Copies the data from the cube to the top level of the data store, and exchanges the border.

Definition at line 77 of file Publisher.cpp.

int PV::Publisher::wait ( int  delay = 0)

wait until all outstanding published messages have arrived
