class holoscan.core.Application(argv=None, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: holoscan.core._core.Application

Application class.

This constructor parses the command line for flags that are recognized by App Driver/Worker, and removes all recognized flags so users can use the remaining flags for their own purposes.

If the arguments are not specified, the arguments are retrieved from sys.executable and sys.argv.

The arguments after processing arguments (parsing Holoscan-specific flags and removing them) are accessible through the argv attribute.

Parameters
argv

The command line arguments to parse. The first item should be the path to the python executable. If not specified, [sys.executable, *sys.argv] is used.

add_flow(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

  1. add_flow(self: holoscan.core._core.Application, upstream_op: holoscan.core._core.Operator, downstream_op: holoscan.core._core.Operator) -> None

  2. add_flow(self: holoscan.core._core.Application, upstream_op: holoscan.core._core.Operator, downstream_op: holoscan.core._core.Operator, port_pairs: Set[Tuple[str, str]]) -> None

Connect two operators associated with the fragment.

Parameters
upstream_op

Notes

This is an overloaded function. Additional variants exist:

1.) For the Application class there is a variant where the first two arguments are of type holoscan.core.Fragment instead of holoscan.core.Operator. This variant is used in building multi-fragment applications. 2.) There are also variants that omit the port_pairs argument that are applicable when there is only a single output on the upstream operator/fragment and a single input on the downstream operator/fragment.

Context manager to add data flow tracking to an application.

__init__(app, *, filename=None, num_buffered_messages=100, num_start_messages_to_skip=10, num_last_messages_to_discard=10, latency_threshold=0)
Parameters
app

on which flow tracking should be applied.
filename

If none, logging to file will be disabled. Otherwise, logging will write to the specified file.
num_buffered_messages

Controls the number of messages buffered between file writing when filename is not None.
num_start_messages_to_skip

The number of messages to skip at the beginning of the execution. This does not affect the log file or the number of source messages metric.
num_last_messages_to_discard

The number of messages to discard at the end of the execution. This does not affect the log file or the number of source messages metric.
latency_threshold

The minimum end-to-end latency in milliseconds to account for in the end-to-end latency metric calculations.
holoscan.core.arg_to_py_object(arg: holoscan.core._core.Arg) → object

Utility that converts an Arg to a corresponding Python object.

Parameters
arg

The argument to convert.
Returns
obj

Python object corresponding to the provided argument. For example, an argument of any integer type will become a Python int while std::vector<double> would become a list of Python floats.
holoscan.core.arglist_to_kwargs(arglist: holoscan.core._core.ArgList) → dict

Utility that converts an ArgList to a Python kwargs dictionary.

Parameters
arglist

The argument list to convert.
Returns
kwargs

Python dictionary with keys matching the names of the arguments in ArgList. The values will be converted as for arg_to_py_object.
holoscan.core.kwargs_to_arglist(**kwargs) → holoscan.core._core.ArgList

Utility that converts a set of python keyword arguments to an ArgList.

Parameters
**kwargs

The python keyword arguments to convert.
Returns
arglist

ArgList class corresponding to the provided keyword values. The argument names will match the keyword names. Values will be converted as for py_object_to_arg.
holoscan.core.py_object_to_arg(obj: object, name: str = '') → holoscan.core._core.Arg

Utility that converts a single python argument to a corresponding Arg type.

Parameters
value

The python value to convert.
Returns
obj

Arg class corresponding to the provided value. For example a Python float will become an Arg containing a C++ double while a list of Python ints would become an Arg corresponding to a std::vector<uint64_t>.
name

A name to assign to the argument.
