tf.train.LooperThread.loop(coord, timer_interval_secs, target, args=None, kwargs=None)

tf.train.LooperThread.loop(coord, timer_interval_secs, target, args=None, kwargs=None)

Start a LooperThread that calls a function periodically.

If timer_interval_secs is None the thread calls target(args) repeatedly. Otherwise target(args) is called every timer_interval_secs seconds. The thread terminates when a stop of the coordinator is requested.

Args:

• coord: A Coordinator.
• timer_interval_secs: Number. Time boundaries at which to call target.
• target: A callable object.
• args: Optional arguments to pass to target when calling it.
• kwargs: Optional keyword arguments to pass to target when calling it.

Returns:

The started thread.
