ConversionNode

class samplomatic.samplex.nodes.ConversionNode(existing_name: str, existing_type: VirtualType, new_name: str, new_type: VirtualType, num_subsystems: int, remove_existing: bool)

GitHub

Bases: EvaluationNode

Converts a node from one type to another.

Parameters

  • existing_name – The name of the register to convert.
  • existing_type – The type of the register to convert.
  • new_name – The name of the the converted register, possibly equal to existing_name.
  • new_type – The type to convert to.
  • num_subsystems – The number of subsystems in the register to convert.
  • remove_existing – Whether to remove the existing register following conversion.

Raises

SamplexConstructionError – If the names are the same, and remove_existing is true.

Methods Documentation

evaluate

evaluate(registers, *_)

GitHub

Evaluate this node.

Parameters

  • registers – At least those registers needed by this node to read from or write to.
  • parameter_values – Parameter values to use during evaluation.

Raises

SamplexRuntimeError – If the number of parameter values received does not equal the number required by this node.

get_style

get_style()

GitHub

Return the style of this node when plotted.

instantiates

instantiates() → dict[str, tuple[int, VirtualType]]

GitHub

Return a manifest of new virtual registers that this node instantiates.

Note
  • To change the type or size of a register, both instantiate and remove it.
  • Do not specify reads_from() or writes_to() for an instantiated register, these powers are implicit.

reads_from

reads_from()

GitHub

Return a manifest of which virtual register values this node needs to read from.

removes

removes() → set[str]

GitHub

Return a manifest of virtual registers that this node removes.

It is assumed that registers are removed as a last step; it is not ill-defined to read and write from a removed register.

validate_and_update

validate_and_update(register_descriptions)

GitHub

Validate provided register descriptions are compatible, update with changes.

This method can be used by a samplex to determine when a node execution order has well-defined dependencies before sampling begins.

Parameters

register_descriptions – A map from existing register names to their size and type.
