Hi Moosers. I am doing little experiments to export/serialize big graph
of objects using ImageSegment. I though that
MooseModel was a good
candidate. And I even remember Simon's wishes for copying them. But I have a
couple of questions:
1) Which is the bigger autogenerated MooseModel I can get to test? For
the moment I am evaluating "MooseModel installDefaultModels". and then I
export "MooseModel root". Is there a bigger one I can use? how ?
Take a look at the MooseScripts class, class-side. There are a number of
methods to create moose models from the image itself. In order of
importance: Network << Moose << Pharo
With network, you won't have any problem. With a model of Moose itself,
it's fast enough to do lots of test yet you can still improve things. Then a
Pharo model is certainly a good scalability test.
2) How is the root or any other MooseModel
normally exported? Which
methods? which technology ? Can you give me an example of the standard way
to export/serialize/copy a MooseModel ? The only thing I saw is MooseModel
class >> export: aModel to: aStream
I just open a file and send it as Stream?
Depends...
- File persistency is done in the MSE format and using Fame to serialize
entities in MSE.
Just take a look at MooseModel>>exportToMSEStream:
- To clone a model, just use MooseModelCopier>>copyModel: (this was a
simple experiment to make practical copies of large MooseModels. Or rather
to show that simple copy did not scale well on large MooseModel right now).
3) Suppose that I copy/export somehow a
MooseModel (suppose the root) to
a file. I take another Moose image, I load the file, objects are alive again
and I replace MooseModel rootModel with the new object. How do I know if the
copy/export worked correctly ? If I do it in the same image, I can have
both, but how can I compare them to be sure everything was done ok ? method
#= has no sense as it will use Object with is #==. So...any idea to know if
the MooseModel I export and load again with ImageSegment is really working
or not?
I would change the tests setup to export/import the test model and run
tests on it (that's what I did to test the MooseModelCopier). Only problem
is that tests use some small models, so maybe some things will be hidden.
This is start though.
I want to test exporting and loading these MooseModel with different
technologies but I need a way to know if the resulted object is correct or
not.
Ahhh please, cc' me in the mail as I am not sure I receive emails from
this list.
Thanks for any hints.
Mariano
