dimod.SampleSet.from_future

classmethod SampleSet.from_future(future, result_hook=None)[source]

Construct a SampleSet referencing the result of a future computation.

Parameters:
  • future (object) – Object that contains or will contain the information needed to construct a SampleSet. If future has a done() method, this determines the value returned by SampleSet.done().
  • result_hook (callable, optional) –

    A function that is called to resolve the future. Must accept the future and return a SampleSet. If not provided, set to

    def result_hook(future):
    return future.result()
Returns:

SampleSet

Notes

The future is resolved on the first read of any of the SampleSet properties.

Examples

Run a dimod sampler on a single thread and load the returned future into SampleSet.

>>> import dimod
>>> from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
...
>>> bqm = dimod.BinaryQuadraticModel.from_ising({}, {('a', 'b'): -1})
>>> with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=1) as executor:
...     future = executor.submit(dimod.ExactSolver().sample, bqm)
...     sampleset = dimod.SampleSet.from_future(future)
>>> sampleset.record
rec.array([([-1, -1], -1., 1), ([ 1, -1],  1., 1), ([ 1,  1], -1., 1),
           ([-1,  1],  1., 1)],
          dtype=[('sample', 'i1', (2,)), ('energy', '<f8'), ('num_occurrences', '<i8')])
