Class SweepGroup

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.ascape.util.sweep.SweepGroup
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable, Sweepable

public class SweepGroup
extends java.lang.Object
implements Sweepable, java.io.Serializable

A class faciliating iteration across several parameter dimensions, supporting multiple runs per parameter set. This class assumes that the total group size will almost always be quite small (10 dimensions or so at most), so the implementation uses a number of large O methods.

1.9

Constructor Summary
SweepGroup()
           
 
Method Summary
 void addMember(Sweepable sweep)
          Adds the 'sweepable' (sweep iterator) to the group.
 Sweepable getMember(int pos)
          Returns the 'sweepable' (sweep iterator) at the specified position.
 int getRunCount()
          Sets the runs per, or number of runs per each sweep setting.
 int getRunsPer()
          Sets the runs per, or number of runs per each sweep setting.
 int getSize()
          Counts the number of members; memebers may be dimensions, links, or other implementoprs of the sweepable interface.
 Sweepable getUnlinkedMember(int pos)
          Sweepables can be SweepLinks, which means that more than one sweep dimension might exist for a given member.
 int getUnlinkedSize()
          Returns the 'unrolled' size, that is counting all of the dimensions in each link.
 boolean hasNext()
          Are there more sweep settings in this group?
 java.lang.Object next()
          Iterates to the next sweep setting in this group.
 void reset()
          Sets the entire swep group back to its initial state.
 void setRunsPer(int runsPer)
          Returns the runs per, or number of runs per each sweep setting.

Constructor Detail

SweepGroup

public SweepGroup()
Method Detail

addMember

public void addMember(Sweepable sweep)
Adds the 'sweepable' (sweep iterator) to the group.


getMember

public Sweepable getMember(int pos)
Returns the 'sweepable' (sweep iterator) at the specified position.


getUnlinkedMember

public Sweepable getUnlinkedMember(int pos)
Sweepables can be SweepLinks, which means that more than one sweep dimension might exist for a given member. This method allows you to access the 'unrolled' memebers.


reset

public void reset()
Sets the entire swep group back to its initial state. The next call to next will set the first sweep item.

Specified by:
reset in interface Sweepable

getRunsPer

public int getRunsPer()
Sets the runs per, or number of runs per each sweep setting.


getRunCount

public int getRunCount()
Sets the runs per, or number of runs per each sweep setting.


setRunsPer

public void setRunsPer(int runsPer)
Returns the runs per, or number of runs per each sweep setting.


hasNext

public boolean hasNext()
Are there more sweep settings in this group?

Specified by:
hasNext in interface Sweepable

next

public java.lang.Object next()
Iterates to the next sweep setting in this group.

Specified by:
next in interface Sweepable

getUnlinkedSize

public int getUnlinkedSize()
Returns the 'unrolled' size, that is counting all of the dimensions in each link.


getSize

public int getSize()
Counts the number of members; memebers may be dimensions, links, or other implementoprs of the sweepable interface.
