Operator Reference
activate_compute_device (Operator)
activate_compute_device — Activate a compute device.
Signature
activate_compute_device( : : DeviceHandle : )
Description
activate_compute_device activates the compute device
DeviceHandle for the current HALCON thread.
All subsequent HALCON operators called in this thread are executed on
DeviceHandle if they provide an implementation
(see get_operator_info) for this device.
Use deactivate_compute_device to deactivate
DeviceHandle.
Currently, only one compute device can be active for a HALCON thread.
If a different device is active before activate_compute_device
is called, this device is deactivated automatically.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: local (may only be called from the same thread in which the window, model, or tool instance was created).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
DeviceHandle (input_control) compute_device → (handle)
Compute device handle.
Example (HDevelop)
open_compute_device (DeviceIdentifier, DeviceHandle) read_image (Image, 'rings_and_nuts') * * Gaussian convolution on a compute device activate_compute_device (DeviceHandle) derivate_gauss (Image, DerivGauss, 5, 'none') * * Gaussian convolution on the CPU deactivate_compute_device (DeviceHandle) derivate_gauss (Image, DerivGauss, 5, 'none')
Result
activate_compute_device returns the value
2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if DeviceHandle is valid. Otherwise
an exception will be raised.
