Description

Chunks of operation for invoking the rendernodes.

This header defines part of the "glue" which holds together the render node network and enables to pull a result frames from the nodes. Especially, the aspect of buffer management and cache query is covered here. Each node has been preconfigured by the builder with a WiringDescriptor and a concrete type of a StateAdapter, including a specific Configuration, because the node can be built to

• participate in the Caching or ignore the cache
• actually process a result or just pull frames from a source
• employ in-Place calculations or use separate in/out buffers Additionally, each node may have a given number of input/output pins, expecting to be provided with buffers holding a specific kind of data.

composition of the invocation Strategy

For each individual ProcNode::pull() call, the WiringAdapter::callDown() builds an Invocation state instance directly on the stack, holding references to the actual buffer pointers and state. Using this StateAdapter, the predecessor nodes are pulled. The way these operations are carried out is encoded in the actual type of Strategy, which is defined at the bottom of this header. Each Strategy is a chain of elementary operations invoking each other (NEXT::step(invocation) ). Notably, all those possible configurations are pre-built while compiling (it's a small number below 32 configuration instance). To be able to select the Strategy for each configuration, we need a Factory (ConfigSelector defined in nodewiring-config.hpp). which is actually instantiated and used in nodewiring.cpp, which is the object file holding all those instantiations.

Deprecated:

12/2024 the internal systematic within the Render Engine has been re-arranged altogether. The general operation scheme is now conceptualised as a weaving-pattern
