MorphologySet

Soft caching

Every time a morphology is loaded, it has to be read from disk and pieced together. If you use soft caching, upon loading a morphology it is kept in cache and each time it is re-used a copy of the cached morphology is created. This means that the storage only has to be read once per morphology, but additional memory is used for each unique morphology in the set. If you’re iterating, the soft cache is cleared immediately after the iteration stops. Soft caching is available by passing cache=True to iter_morphologies():

from bsb import from_storage

network = from_storage
ps = network.get_placement_set("my_cell")
ms = ps.load_morphologies()
for morpho in ms.iter_morphologies(cache=True):
  morpho.close_gaps()
