Partitioner without machine #846

Open Christian-B opened 3 years ago

Christian-B commented 3 years ago

I noticed that even when we have a MaxMachineGenerator we still only run the (SpYNNaker)SplitterPartitioner

So if the final machine can not handle the original Paritition results placement still goes pop.

This makes we wonder if why can not do Partitioning without knowledge of a Machine.

Knowledge of a Chip including SDRAM, n_processors ect that will be different between current boards and new board YES. but the whole machine NO.

or even bigger have the partitioner make sure no vertex or set of vertices restrained to the same Chip use more than their fair share of SDRAM. if needed adding virtual reserve vertices.

That way the whole resource tracker can be nuked.
