Understanding the data structure handler class

The data structure handler is implemented in the data_struc.py file, which can be found in the lib/util folder of the fl_main directory. The data structure class has the LimitedDict class to handle the aggregation of the ML models in a consistent manner.

Importing libraries for the data structure handler

In this data_struc.py code example, the handler imports general libraries, such as numpy and Dict:

from typing import Dict
import numpy as np

Next, let’s move on to the LimitedDict class and its functions related to the data structure handler.

The LimitedDict class

The following is a definition of the LimitedDict class and its functions related to the data structure handler.

The LimitedDict class and its functions

The functions of the LimitedDict class are for converting a dictionary format into a class with keys and values. LimitedDict is used with the buffer in ML models to store local and cluster models...
