qat.qpus.RemoteQPU

class qat.qpus.RemoteQPU(port=None, ip=None, connection=None, plugins=None)

RemoteQPUs are built from a port and an ip address. They behave similarly to a local QPU Handler but also allow adjunction of local Plugins. The information flow inside a RemoteQPU is comparable to the information flow inside a QPUHandler:

• when compiling a batch the batch goes through all the local plugins and is sent to the connection. The resulting batch is then returned to the user

• when submitting, the batch is compiled using the local plugins and then forwarded through the connection. The results are then post processed by the local Plugins.

Parameters

• port (optional, int) – the port to connect to

• ip (optional, str) – the IP address to connect to

• plugins (list<qat.plugins.AbstractPlugins>) – a list of plugins. Optional. Defaults to None.

• connection (optional Thrift connection) – for internal use
