Detailed Description

QuotientColProbe takes two probes (of any type) and reports their quotient. The original motivation for QuotientColProbe was to get total energy of a sparse-coding module scaled by the size of the input image. Note that this probe depends on other probes and that there is NO checking to prevent loops in the probe dependencies.

Returns the coefficient if the energy probe is set.

Definition at line 95 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

bool PV::BaseObject::getDataStructuresAllocatedFlag ( ) const
inlineinherited

Get-method for mDataStructuresAllocatedFlag, which is false on initialization and then becomes true once setDataStructuresAllocatedFlag() is called.

Definition at line 102 of file BaseObject.hpp.

char const* PV::BaseProbe::getEnergyProbe ( )
inlineinherited

Returns the name of the energy probe the probe is attached to (null if not attached to an energy probe)

Definition at line 90 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

bool PV::BaseObject::getInitialValuesSetFlag ( ) const
inlineinherited

Get-method for mInitialValuesSetFlag, which is false on initialization and then becomes true once setInitialValuesSetFlag() is called.

Definition at line 108 of file BaseObject.hpp.

bool PV::BaseObject::getInitInfoCommunicatedFlag ( ) const
inlineinherited

Get-method for mInitInfoCommunicatedFlag, which is false on initialization and then becomes true once setInitInfoCommunicatedFlag() is called.

Definition at line 95 of file BaseObject.hpp.

double PV::BaseProbe::getLastUpdateTime ( )
inlineinherited

Returns the time that calcValues was last called. BaseProbe updates the last update time in getValues() and getValue(), based on the result of needRecalc.

Definition at line 102 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

const char* PV::BaseProbe::getMessage ( )
inlineprotectedinherited

Returns a pointer to the message parameter.

Definition at line 280 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

int PV::BaseProbe::getNumValues ( )
inlineinherited

Returns the number of value indices the probe can compute (typically the value of the parent HyPerCol's nBatch parameter). BaseProbe::getNumValues() returns the parent HyPerCol's getNBatch(), which can be overridden. Probes derived from BaseProbe can set numValues to zero or a negative number to indicate that getValues() and getNumValues() are not fully implemented for that probe.

inlineprotectedinherited

Returns the probeOutputFilename parameter

Definition at line 314 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

const char* PV::BaseProbe::getTargetName ( )

Definition at line 83 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

bool PV::BaseProbe::getTextOutputFlag ( ) const
inlineprotectedinherited

Returns the value of the textOutputFlag parameter

Definition at line 324 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

double PV::BaseProbe::getValue ( double  timevalue,
int  index 
)
inherited

getValue() is meant for situations where the caller needs one value that would be returned by getValues(), not the whole buffer. getValue() returns a signaling NaN if index is out of bounds. If index is valid, getValue() calls calcValues() if needRecalc() returns true, and then returns probeValues[index]. Derived classes should not override or hide this method. Instead, they should override calcValues.

Definition at line 346 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

void PV::BaseProbe::getValues ( double  timevalue,
double *  valuesVector 
)
inherited

getValues(double timevalue, double * values) sets the buffer 'values' with the probe's calculated values. It assumes that the values buffer is large enough to hold getNumValues() double-precision values. If 'values' is NULL, the values are still updated internally if needed, but those values are not returned. Internally, getValues() calls calcValues() if needRecalc() is true. It then copies the probeValues buffer to the input argument buffer 'values'. Derived classes should not override or hide this method. Instead, they should override calcValues.

Definition at line 336 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

void PV::BaseProbe::getValues ( double  timevalue,
std::vector< double > *  valuesVector 
)
inherited

getValues(double timevalue, vector<double> * valuesVector) is a wrapper around getValues(double, double *) that uses C++ vectors. It resizes valuesVector to size getNumValues() and then fills the vector with the values returned by getValues.

Definition at line 341 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

void PV::BaseProbe::getValues ( double  timevalue)
protectedinherited

If needRecalc() returns true, getValues(double) updates the probeValues buffer (by calling calcValues) and sets lastUpdateTime to the timevalue input argument.

Definition at line 329 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

double* PV::BaseProbe::getValuesBuffer ( )
inlineprotectedinherited

Returns a pointer to the buffer containing the probeValues.

Definition at line 319 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

int PV::ColProbe::initialize ( const char *  name,
HyPerCol hc 
)
protectedinherited

Reads the parameters and performs initializations that do not depend on other param groups. It is called by the public constructor and should be called by the initializer of any derived classes.

Definition at line 31 of file ColProbe.cpp.

int PV::QuotientColProbe::initialize_base ( )
private

Sets member variables to safe values. It is called by both the public and protected constructors, and should not otherwise be called.

Definition at line 35 of file QuotientColProbe.cpp.

int PV::QuotientColProbe::initializeQuotientColProbe ( const char *  probename,
HyPerCol hc 
)
protected

Reads the parameters and performs initializations that do not depend on other param groups. It is called by the public constructor and should be called by the initializer of any derived classes.

Definition at line 44 of file QuotientColProbe.cpp.

int PV::BaseProbe::initMessage ( const char *  msg)
protectedvirtualinherited

The method called by BaseProbe::initialize() to set the message used by the probe's outputState method.

Definition at line 282 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

void PV::BaseProbe::initNumValues ( )
protectedvirtualinherited

initNumValues is called by initialize. BaseProbe::initNumValues sets numValues to the parent HyPerCol's getNBatch(). Derived classes can override initNumValues to initialize numValues to a different value.

Reimplemented in PV::PointProbe, PV::StatsProbe, PV::KernelProbe, and PV::PointLIFProbe.

Definition at line 219 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

void PV::ColProbe::initOutputStreams ( const char *  filename,
Checkpointer checkpointer 
)
overrideprotectedvirtualinherited

Calls BaseProbe::initOutputStreams and then calls outputHeader()

Reimplemented from PV::BaseProbe.

Definition at line 47 of file ColProbe.cpp.

void PV::BaseProbe::ioParam_coefficient ( enum ParamsIOFlag  ioFlag)
protectedvirtualinherited

coefficient: If energyProbe is set, the coefficient parameter specifies that ColumnEnergyProbe multiplies the result of this probe's getValues() method by coefficient when computing the error.

Note that coefficient does not affect the value returned by the getValue() or getValues() method.

Reimplemented in PV::FirmThresholdCostFnLCAProbe, PV::L0NormLCAProbe, and PV::L1NormLCAProbe.

Definition at line 106 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

void PV::QuotientColProbe::ioParam_denominator ( enum ParamsIOFlag  ioFlag)
virtual

denominator: A probe whose values are used in the denominators of the quotients. denominator can be a layer probe, a connection probe, or a column probe.

numerator->getNumValues() and denominator->getNumValues() must return the same value, which then becomes the value returned by the QuotientColProbe's getNumValues().

Definition at line 71 of file QuotientColProbe.cpp.

void PV::QuotientColProbe::ioParam_numerator ( enum ParamsIOFlag  ioFlag)
virtual

numerator: A probe whose values are used in the numerators of the quotients. numerator can be a layer probe, a connection probe, or a column probe.

numerator->getNumValues() and denominator->getNumValues() must return the same value, which then becomes the value returned by the QuotientColProbe's getNumValues().

Definition at line 67 of file QuotientColProbe.cpp.

void PV::QuotientColProbe::ioParam_valueDescription ( enum ParamsIOFlag  ioFlag)
virtual

valueDescription: a short description of what the quantities computed by getValues() represent.

when outputHeader is called, it prints a line to the output file consisting of the string "Probe_name,time,index," followed by the valueDescription. Defaults to "value".

Definition at line 62 of file QuotientColProbe.cpp.

void PV::BaseObject::ioParams ( enum ParamsIOFlag  ioFlag,
bool  printHeader,
bool  printFooter 
)
inherited

Method for reading or writing the params from group in the parent HyPerCol's parameters. The group from params is selected using the name of the connection.

If ioFlag is set to write, the printHeader and printFooter flags control whether a header and footer for the parameter group is produces. These flags are set to true for layers, connections, and probes; and set to false for weight initializers and normalizers. If ioFlag is set to read, the printHeader and printFooter flags are ignored.

Note that ioParams is not virtual. To add parameters in a derived class, override ioParamFillGroup.

Definition at line 74 of file BaseObject.cpp.

int PV::QuotientColProbe::ioParamsFillGroup ( enum ParamsIOFlag  ioFlag)
overridevirtual

Calls ColProbe::ioParamsFillGroup and then reads/writes the parameters added by QuotientColProbe

Reimplemented from PV::ColProbe.

Definition at line 54 of file QuotientColProbe.cpp.

bool PV::BaseObject::isUsingGPU ( ) const
inlineinherited

Returns true if the object requires the GPU; false otherwise. HyPerCol will not initialize the GPU unless one of the objects in its hierarchy returns true

Definition at line 116 of file BaseObject.hpp.

bool PV::BaseProbe::isWritingToFile ( ) const
inlineprotectedinherited

Returns true if a probeOutputFile is being used. Otherwise, returns false (indicating output is going to getOutputStream().

Definition at line 330 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

char const * PV::BaseObject::lookupKeyword ( ) const
inherited

Look up the keyword of the params group with the same name as the object.

Definition at line 42 of file BaseObject.cpp.

virtual bool PV::QuotientColProbe::needRecalc ( double  timevalue)
inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

A pure virtual method for that should return true if the quantities being measured by the probe have changed since the last time the quantities were calculated. Typically, an implementation of needRecalc() will check the lastUpdateTime of the object being probed, and return true if that value is greater than the lastUpdateTime member variable. needRecalc() is called by getValues(double) (and hence by getValue() and the other flavors of getValues). Note that there is a single needRecalc that applies to all getNumValues() quantities.

Implements PV::BaseProbe.

Definition at line 112 of file QuotientColProbe.hpp.

bool PV::BaseProbe::needUpdate ( double  time,
double  dt 
)
protectedvirtualinherited

If there is a triggering layer, needUpdate returns true when the triggering layer's nextUpdateTime, modified by the probe's triggerOffset parameter, occurs; otherwise false. If there is not a triggering layer, needUpdate always returns true. This behavior can be overridden if a probe uses some criterion other than triggering to choose when output its state.

Reimplemented in PV::AdaptiveTimeScaleProbe.

Definition at line 313 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

PrintStream& PV::BaseProbe::output ( int  b)
inlineprotectedinherited

Returns a reference to the PrintStream for the given batch element

Definition at line 291 of file BaseProbe.hpp.

void PV::QuotientColProbe::outputHeader ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Called by initialize_stream after opening the stream member variable. Derived classes can override this method to write header data to the output file.

Reimplemented from PV::ColProbe.

Definition at line 48 of file QuotientColProbe.cpp.

Response::Status PV::QuotientColProbe::outputState ( double  timevalue)
overridevirtual

Prints the energies to the output stream, formatted as a comma-separated value: "Name of probe",timevalue,index,energy The number of lines printed is equal to getVectorSize(), and index goes from 0 to getVectorSize()-1.

Reimplemented from PV::ColProbe.

Definition at line 150 of file QuotientColProbe.cpp.

Response::Status PV::BaseProbe::outputStateWrapper ( double  timef,
double  dt 
)
virtualinherited

The public interface for calling the outputState method. BaseConnection::outputStateWrapper calls outputState() if needUpdate() returns true. This behavior is intended to be general, but the method can be overridden if needed.

Definition at line 358 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

void PV::BaseObject::readParams ( )
inlineinherited

A method that reads the parameters for the group whose name matches the name of the object. It, along with writeParams(), is a wrapper around ioParams, so that readParams and writeParams automatically run through the same parameters in the same order.

Definition at line 62 of file BaseObject.hpp.

double PV::QuotientColProbe::referenceUpdateTime ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

A pure virtual method that should return the simulation time for the values that calcValues() would compute if it were called instead. The reason that this time might be different from the simuluation time at which referenceUpdate was called, is that calcValues might be called either before or after the update of the object the probe is attached to.

The getValues() method calls this function after calling calcValues(), and stores the result in the lastUpdateTime member variable. Typically, the implementation of needRecalc() will return true if lastUpdateTime is less than the value returned by referenceUpdateTime, and false otherwise.

Implements PV::BaseProbe.

Definition at line 148 of file QuotientColProbe.cpp.

Response::Status PV::BaseProbe::registerData ( Checkpointer checkpointer)
overridevirtualinherited

Called during HyPerCol::run, during the allocateDataStructures stage. BaseProbe::allocateDataStructures sets up the output stream. Derived classes that override this method should make sure to call this method in their own allocateDataStructures methods.

Reimplemented from PV::CheckpointerDataInterface.

Reimplemented in PV::AdaptiveTimeScaleProbe, PV::BaseConnectionProbe, and PV::StatsProbe.

Definition at line 320 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

Definition at line 170 of file BaseObject.hpp.

void PV::BaseProbe::setNumValues ( int  n)
protectedinherited

Sets the numValues member variable (returned by getNumValues()) and reallocates the probeValues member variable to hold numValues double-precision values. If the reallocation fails, the probeValues buffer is left unchanged, errno is set (by a realloc() call), and PV_FAILURE is returned. Otherwise, PV_SUCCESS is returned.

Definition at line 221 of file BaseProbe.cpp.

void PV::BaseObject::writeParams ( )
inlineinherited

A method that writes the parameters for the group whose name matches the name of the object. It, along with readParams(), is a wrapper around ioParams, so that readParams and writeParams automatically run through the same parameters in the same order.
