hi-tension 0.1.0

Basic but fast network communication between scientific applications

py-hi-tension, hi-tension for Python

py-hi-tension is a Python module designed for basic but fast network communication between scientific applications, backed by hi-tension. The focus is on transferring large unsized arrays of f64 with maximum throughput and minimum latency. More informations to be found in hi-tension's github page.

Usage

Using the library is quite simple:

# Connect to a server
socket = HiTensionSocket.connect("127.0.0.1:34487")
# You can make such a server though the following line:
# socket = HiTensionSocket.accept("127.0.0.1:34487")

# Send a simple text message
socket.send(b"status\n")
# Receive a simple text message
text_data = socket.read()

# Send formatted data as simple text message
id = 1
msg = f"do_something {id + 1}\n"
socket.send(msg.encode())

# Send formatted data and receive a high tension message
msg = f"fly {id}\n"
socket.send(msg.encode())
array = socket.hiread() # array is a numpy array

# Send the array back as a high tension message
socket.hisend(array)
socket.hidelimiter()

# You can send the array back
socket.hisend(array)
socket.hidelimiter()

# You may send your data in multible packets
socket.hisend(array[:10])
socket.hisend(array[10:])
socket.hidelimiter()
# This is useful for example if you are calculating your data while
# transferring it.
