sisl.mpi.DistributionState

class sisl.mpi.DistributionState

Bases: object

Distribution state carried by a distributed object.

Holds the Distribution the object is laid out by, and tracks whether the object has been mutated since it was last made coherent. The epoch is a plain counter: mutation bumps it, assembly records it. Nothing here communicates.

This lives on the object, not on the Distribution, so that a single distribution can be shared by many objects.

Methods

`mark_assembled`()	Record that the object has been made coherent at the current epoch.
`touch`()	Record a structural change.

Attributes

`distribution`
`epoch`	Bumped by every structural change.
`is_assembled`	Whether the object is coherent, i.e. usable by a consumer.

mark_assembled()[source]

Record that the object has been made coherent at the current epoch.

Return type:: None

touch()[source]

Record a structural change. Cheap, local, and never communicates.

Return type:: None

property distribution: Distribution

property epoch: int: Bumped by every structural change.

property is_assembled: bool: Whether the object is coherent, i.e. usable by a consumer.
