qat.core.pipelines.factory module

class PipelineFactory(config, model=None, loader=None, target_data=None, engine=None)

Bases: UpdateablePipeline

An updateable pipeline that allows a pipeline factory (function) to be called. This will use the factory as a proxy for the _build_pipeline method, allowing the pipeline to be refreshed with a new hardware model and/or config.

Parameters:

  • config (PipelineConfig) – The pipeline configuration with the name of the pipeline, and any additional parameters that can be configured in the pipeline.

  • model (Union[QuantumHardwareModel, PhysicalHardwareModel, None]) – The hardware model to feed into the pipeline, cannot be used simultaneously with loader, defaults to None.

  • loader (Optional[BaseModelLoader]) – The hardware loader used to load the hardware model which can be used to later refresh the hardware model. Cannot be used simultaneously with the model, defaults to None.

  • target_data (Optional[TargetData]) – The data concerning the target device, defaults to None

  • engine (Optional[NativeEngine]) – The engine to use for the pipeline, defaults to None.

Raises:

ValueError – If neither model nor loader is provided, or if both are provided.
