Class PhenotypeCache

java.lang.Object
  com.rubecula.darwin.domain.helper.Cache_<PhenotypeCacheKey,Phenotype>
      com.rubecula.darwin.domain.helper.PhenotypeCache

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cache, Cache_MBean, net.sf.tostring0.Identifiable

public class PhenotypeCache
extends Cache_<PhenotypeCacheKey,Phenotype>

This cache maintains a set of Phenotypes indexed by Basic/Identifiable pair. Normally, the identifiable object is a population, or at any rate, a Colony. The purpose is to save time regenerating the phenotype when it is unnecessary. TODO must ensure that this cache is flushed when variables change.

Method Detail

addPhenotype

public void addPhenotype(Basic genes,
                         net.sf.tostring0.Identifiable identifiable,
                         Phenotype phenotype)

Parameters:

genes - the genes being expressed

identifiable - the identifiable object, typically a population.

phenotype -

flush

public void flush(Basic genes,
                  net.sf.tostring0.Identifiable identifiable)

Parameters:

genes -

identifiable -

getIdentifier

public java.lang.String getIdentifier()

Returns:

"phenotype cache"

getPhenotype

public Phenotype getPhenotype(Basic genes,
                              net.sf.tostring0.Identifiable identifiable)

Parameters:

genes - the genes from which we derive the phenotype

identifiable - the identifiable object (and its environment).

Returns:

the cached phenotype (or null if none) - unless it is not active in which case always null.
