Standard module functions

All IMP modules have a set of standard functions to help get information about the module and about files associated with the module.

std::string get_module_version ()
 
std::string get_module_name ()
 
std::string get_data_path (std::string file_name)
 Return the full path to one of this module's data files. More...
 
std::string get_example_path (std::string file_name)

Function Documentation

std::string IMP::benchmark::get_data_path ( std::string  file_name)

Return the full path to one of this module's data files.

To read the data file "data_library" that was placed in the data directory of this module, do something like

std::ifstream in(IMP::benchmark::get_data_path("data_library"));

This will ensure that the code works both when IMP is installed or if used via the setup_environment.sh script.

Note
Each module has its own data directory, so be sure to use this function from the correct module.
std::string IMP::benchmark::get_example_path ( std::string  file_name)

Return the full path to one of this module's example files.

To read the example file "example_protein.pdb" that was placed in the examples directory of this module, do something like

std::ifstream in(IMP::benchmark::get_example_path("example_protein.pdb"));

This will ensure that the code works both when IMP is installed or if used via the setup_environment.sh script.

Note
Each module has its own example directory, so be sure to use this function from the correct module.
void IMP::benchmark::report ( std::string  benchmark,
std::string  algorithm,
double  time,
double  check 
)

Report a benchmark result in a standard way.

Parameters
[in]benchmarkthe name of the benchmark being run
[in]algorithmthe name of the particular algorithm used to solve the problem
[in]timethe time it took (perhaps normalized)
[in]checka check value to print out to see if the calculation was OK
