Detailed Description

template<typename T>
struct alps::alea::computed< T >

Interface for a computed result (a result computed on-the-fly).

As a trivial example, here is a vector-valued estimator of size 2 that always adds the vector [1.0, -1.0] to the buffer:

struct trivial_computed : public computed<double>
{
    size_t size() const { return 2; }
    void add_to(view<T> out) { out[0] += 1.0; out[1] -= 1.0; }
}

If a computed is passed to an accumulator, the accumulator will call the add_to() method zero or more times with different buffers. This allows to avoid temporaries, as the addend can be constructed in-place, which also allows for sparse data. Also, as there is usually a bin size > 1, adding is the fundamental operation.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T>
virtual void alps::alea::computed< T >::add_to ( view< T >  out) const
pure virtual

Add computed result data to the buffer in out. If in(i) is the i-th component of the estimator, do the equivalent of:

for (size_t i = 0; i != size(); ++i)
    out[i] += in(i);
