pammap

Tree-like parameter map for automatically passing parameters from high-level to low-level conveniently.

Design principles

• Use PamMap as simple hierachical data format
• Single numbers or strings are stored as a copy, lists and larger blocks as views.
• The focus is not on speed, but convenience

Goal

• Easily read/write PamMap from python in Yaml or HDF5
• Easily fill PamMap with data from python
• Easily generate documentation about structure of parameter tree
• Easily serialise PamMap into high-level datastructures on C++ side
• Allow to retrieve PamMap values at low level
• Idea: Low level code is modified and high-level code adapts automatically.

Requirements

Pammap is known to build if the following requirements are met. Other versions, especially lower could work as well, but have not been tested.

• cmake 3.0
• C++11 compatible compiler, e.g.
  • clang 5.0
  • gcc 5
