Simulation parameters

[jeancharles-roger]

Simulation should be parameterised with constants (float, int, ulong) accessible from:

• OpenCL kernels and libraries,
• Tasks parameters and
• Matrix parameters.

A new control panel on the south to configure will be added to configure them.

@pascal-ballet do you think matrices sizes could be parameterised ?

[pascal-ballet]

Yes, without any doubt.

Every parameterable field will be a statically computable formula.

It will support:

• simple numeric expressions: +, -, *, /, % with common priorities,
• parenthesis,
• access to parameters (parameters will be able to access parameters that defined upstream in the list).

A validation for all parameter able fields will present errors if the expression can't be computed.

After the definition of global parameters by the user, it could be interesting to add an automatic definiton for the matrix sizes. For example a matrix, called Mat, with a size (100,100,1) will have the global parameters automatically added: mat_SX = 100; Mat_SY = 100 and Mat_SZ = 1; If the Mat size is (param1, param2, 1), the added parameters will be: Mat_SX = param1; Mat_SY = param2; Mat_SZ = 1;
Thus, the sizes of matrices that now are kernel parameters, will be removed (the codes already made will still work because the names of the variable remain the same).

[pascal-ballet]

Again concerning the parameters, it could be usefull to remove or re-add some matrices or others (step, mouse, etc). So the kernel parameters will be more clear !

[jeancharles-roger]

So what you're saying is that for each matrix, 3 simulation parameters will be added: on for the size on x, one for y and one for z. Moving the value for the matrix sizes from MatrixController to the new parameter panel. Thus reducing the kernel prototype length.

I think it could be nice.

[jeancharles-roger]

Concerning mouse pointer and step, there aren't simulation parameters and they aren't constant. I think it would be confusing.

[jeancharles-roger]

I'm writing specifications on the wiki: Parameters.

[jeancharles-roger]

I'm working on the computed parameters. It'll lead me to some changes in the Simulator, I'll pushed them to the branch parameters.

[jeancharles-roger]

The branch is merged
