First, it ensures that all 00047 SingleChannel objects have their InputHandler set to 00048 SingleChannelBeo. Second, it directs the VisualCortex to sort its 00049 subchannels according to their number of submaps, so that the most 00050 CPU-intensive channels (e.g. motion, orientation) will be 00051 processed first. See SingleChannelBeo.H for info. 00052 00053 The Beowulf object passed here must be configured as master. 00054 00055 You may still add whatever channels you want to this VisualCortex; 00056 just if you want them to be Beo too, make sure you first get our 00057 Beowulf using getBeowulf(), the next available node using 00058 getNextAvailableNode() and then initilize your BeoChannels using 00059 this Beowulf and node number. 00060 00061 If you are going to use a beowulf-enabled VisualCortex, you should 00062 be running a process that implements a SingleChannelBeoServer on 00063 each slave node of your Beowulf. Such process is in 00064 beochannel-server.C for example. First start all your servers on 00065 all your server nodes, then, on the master, start your program 00066 that uses the VisualCortexBeo. It will configure the Beowulf, 00067 spawn the channels, and rip through your frames! 00068 */ 00069 void setupVisualCortexBeo(RawVisualCortex& vcx, nub::ref<Beowulf> beo); 00070 00071 #endif 00072 00073 // ###################################################################### 00074 /* So things look consistent in everyone's emacs... */ 00075 /* Local Variables: */ 00076 /* indent-tabs-mode: nil */ 00077 /* End: */
