fusionsc.backends

Manages the active backend to use for calculation

Functions

activeBackend()	Returns the current thread's active backend for calculations.
alwaysUseBackend(newBackend)	Permanently installs a backend as the default for this thread.
backendInfo()	Returns information about the currently active backend Note Has asynchronous variant '.asnc(...)' that returns Promise[...]
connectLocal()	Connects a thread to the in-process worker.
disconnectLocal()	Disconnects a thread from the in-process worker
isLocalConnected()	Checks whether the thread is connected to the in-process worker
localBackend()	Returns the backend corresponding to the in-process worker.
localResources()	Provides access to the in-process worker's "LocalResources" service interface.
namedEndpoint(name)	Note Has asynchronous variant '.asnc(...)' that returns Promise[...]
reconfigureLocalBackend(config)	Reconfigues the local backend to the given configuration.
useBackend(newBackend)	Temporarily overrides the active backend to use for calculations.

Functions

fusionsc.backends.activeBackend() → Client

Returns the current thread’s active backend for calculations. This is the inner-most active useBackend call, falling back to the in-process worker if no other backend is in use

fusionsc.backends.alwaysUseBackend(newBackend: Client)

Permanently installs a backend as the default for this thread.

Note that exiting newBackend(…) scopes also removes the backend installed by this function if it was installed inside.

fusionsc.backends.backendInfo() → Reader

Returns information about the currently active backend Note Has asynchronous variant ‘.asnc(…)’ that returns Promise[…]

fusionsc.backends.connectLocal()

Connects a thread to the in-process worker. Automatically called for main thread.

fusionsc.backends.disconnectLocal()

Disconnects a thread from the in-process worker

fusionsc.backends.isLocalConnected() → bool

Checks whether the thread is connected to the in-process worker

fusionsc.backends.localBackend() → Client

Returns the backend corresponding to the in-process worker. Requires the active thread to be connected to it.

fusionsc.backends.localResources() → Client

Provides access to the in-process worker’s “LocalResources” service interface.

This interface can be used to access several privileged functions (like network setup and file system access) that are not available for remote clients.

fusionsc.backends.namedEndpoint(name: str) → Any

Note Has asynchronous variant ‘.asnc(…)’ that returns Promise[…]

fusionsc.backends.reconfigureLocalBackend(config: ReaderOrBuilder) → Any

Reconfigues the local backend to the given configuration.

Note Has asynchronous variant ‘.asnc(…)’ that returns Promise[…]

fusionsc.backends.useBackend(newBackend: Client)

Temporarily overrides the active backend to use for calculations.

Example usage:

import fusionsc as fsc … newBackend = … with fsc.backends.useBackend(newBackend):

… Calculation code …
