Examples of 1..8-box hardware configuration files

[m8pple]

When trying to use all boxes from byron, I couldn't find any hardware configuration files for it. The configurations I found were:

• Default 1 box: https://github.com/POETSII/Orchestrator/blob/development/Config/POETSHardwareOneBox.ocfg
• Locally installed 8 box config on byron: /local/orchestrator-common/8_box.uif

If I try to load 8_box.uif on byron, using e3a76009322a1b5f1a2ace887eebcb56a768a4c8, I get:

dt10@byron:~/poets-dpd/experiments/orch-scaling$ ~/Orchestrator/orchestrate.sh

plus lots more pair_cores errors.

There is documentation of the different dialects in Orchestrator-documentation, but I can't find any actual configuration files for 8 box (or other size) configurations.

Checking my generators, I have been using the one at Tests/StaticResources/Dialect3/Valid/8_box.uif for my 8-box runs.

I have a feeling that the one at /local/orchestrator-common/8_box.uif is outdated. I will put it on my list to update.

Thanks that worked.

It would be useful to have configs for all 1,2,4, and 8 boxes included in the standard Orchestrator alongside the one box config for scaling experiments. Or in orchestrator-common.
