brainspy.processors.hardware#
This package contains the files necessary for handling the hardware processors within the main Processor class. It is composed of a driver instance, which is a connection (for a single, or multiple hardware DNPUs) with one of the following National Instruments measurement devices, which are children of the NationalInstrumentsSetup class (CDAQ-to-NiDAQ or CDAQ-to-CDAQ). The HardwareProcessor module expects that the input data has already been plateaued, and creates (and removes) the ramps, required for not damaging the device. The class manages the creation of slopes for plateaued data before passing the data to the drivers, and it also transforms PyTorch tensors to NumPy arrays, as this is the format that the drivers accept. Once it has read information from the hardware, it passes the data back to PyTorch tensors and it masks out the information in the output corresponding to the points in the ramp. It has been designed in such a way, that it enables to easily develop other hardware drivers if required, and the HardwareProcessor would behave in the exact same way.
