Public API#

API discovery#

In many applications it would be enough to use dynamic module attributes to get an API object:

from grunnur import cuda_api
from grunnur import opencl_api
from grunnur import any_api

For a finer programmatic control one can use the methods of the API class:

For a struct type, returns a Module object with the typedef of a struct corresponding to the given dtype (with its name set to the module prefix).

The structure definition includes the alignment required to produce field offsets specified in dtype; therefore, dtype must be either a simple type, or have proper offsets and dtypes (the ones that can be reporoduced in C using explicit alignment attributes, but without additional padding) and the attribute isalignedstruct == True. An aligned dtype can be produced either by standard means (aligned flag in numpy.dtype constructor and explicit offsets and itemsizes), or created out of an arbitrary dtype with the help of align().

If ignore_alignment is True, all of the above is ignored. The C structures produced will not have any explicit alignment modifiers. As a result, the the field offsets of dtype may differ from the ones chosen by the compiler.

Modules are cached, and the function returns a single module instance for equal dtype’s. Therefore inside a kernel it will be rendered with the same prefix everywhere it is used. This results in a behavior characteristic for a structural type system, same as for the basic dtype-ctype conversion.

Warning

As of numpy 1.8, the isalignedstruct attribute is not enough to ensure a mapping between a dtype and a C struct with only the fields that are present in the dtype. Therefore, ctype_struct will make some additional checks and raise ValueError if it is not the case.

grunnur.dtypes.complex_ctr(dtype: DTypeLike) → str[source]#: Returns name of the constructor for the given dtype.

grunnur.dtypes.c_constant(val: int | float | complex | generic | numpy.ndarray[Any, numpy.dtype[Any]], dtype: DTypeLike | None = None) → str[source]#: Returns a C-style numerical constant. If val has a struct dtype, the generated constant will have the form { ... } and can be used as an initializer for a variable.

grunnur.dtypes.align(dtype: DTypeLike) → numpy.dtype[Any][source]#: Returns a new struct dtype with the field offsets changed to the ones a compiler would use (without being given any explicit alignment qualifiers). Ignores all existing explicit itemsizes and offsets.

Struct helpers#

grunnur.dtypes.c_path(path: List[str | int]) → str[source]#: Returns a string corresponding to the path to a struct element in C. The path is the sequence of field names/array indices returned from flatten_dtype().

grunnur.dtypes.flatten_dtype(dtype: DTypeLike) → List[Tuple[List[str | int], numpy.dtype[Any]]][source]#: Returns a list of tuples (path, dtype) for each of the basic dtypes in a (possibly nested) dtype. path is a list of field names/array indices leading to the corresponding element.

Function modules#

This module contains Module factories which are used to compensate for the lack of complex number operations in OpenCL, and the lack of C++ synthax which would allow one to write them.

grunnur.functions.add(*in_dtypes: numpy.dtype[Any], out_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any] | None = None) → Module[source]#

Returns a Module with a function of len(in_dtypes) arguments that adds values of types in_dtypes. If out_dtype is given, it will be set as a return type for this function.

This is necessary since on some platforms complex numbers are based on 2-vectors, and therefore the + operator for a complex and a real number works in an unexpected way (returning (a.x + b, a.y + b) instead of (a.x + b, a.y)).

grunnur.functions.cast(in_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any], out_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any]) → Module[source]#: Returns a Module with a function of one argument that casts values of in_dtype to out_dtype.

grunnur.functions.conj(dtype: numpy.dtype[Any]) → Module[source]#: Returns a Module with a function of one argument that conjugates the value of type dtype (if it is not a complex data type, the value will not be modified).

grunnur.functions.div(dividend_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any], divisor_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any], out_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any] | None = None) → Module[source]#: Returns a Module with a function of two arguments that divides a value of type dividend_dtype by a value of type divisor_dtype. If out_dtype is given, it will be set as a return type for this function.

grunnur.functions.exp(dtype: numpy.dtype[Any]) → Module[source]#: Returns a Module with a function of one argument that exponentiates the value of type dtype (must be a real or a complex data type).

grunnur.functions.mul(*in_dtypes: numpy.dtype[Any], out_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any] | None = None) → Module[source]#: Returns a Module with a function of len(in_dtypes) arguments that multiplies values of types in_dtypes. If out_dtype is given, it will be set as a return type for this function.

grunnur.functions.norm(dtype: numpy.dtype[Any]) → Module[source]#: Returns a Module with a function of one argument that returns the 2-norm of the value of type dtype (product by the complex conjugate if the value is complex, square otherwise).

grunnur.functions.polar(dtype: numpy.dtype[Any]) → Module[source]#: Returns a Module with a function of two arguments that returns the complex-valued rho * exp(i * theta) for values rho, theta of type dtype (must be a real data type).

grunnur.functions.polar_unit(dtype: numpy.dtype[Any]) → Module[source]#: Returns a Module with a function of one argument that returns a complex number exp(i * theta) == (cos(theta), sin(theta)) for a value theta of type dtype (must be a real data type).

grunnur.functions.pow(base_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any], exponent_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any] | None = None, out_dtype: numpy.dtype[Any] | None = None) → Module[source]#

Returns a Module with a function of two arguments that raises the first argument of type base_dtype to the power of the second argument of type exponent_dtype (an integer or real data type).

If exponent_dtype or out_dtype are not given, they default to base_dtype. If base_dtype is not the same as out_dtype, the input is cast to out_dtype before exponentiation. If exponent_dtype is real, but both base_dtype and out_dtype are integer, a ValueError is raised.

Virtual buffers#

Often one needs temporary buffers that are only used in one place in the code, but used many times. Allocating them each time they are used may involve too much overhead; allocating real buffers and storing them increases the program’s memory requirements. A possible middle ground is using virtual allocations, where several of them can use the samy physical allocation. The virtual allocation manager will make sure that two virtual buffers that are used simultaneously (as declared by the user) will not share the same physical space.

class grunnur.virtual_alloc.VirtualManager(device: BoundDevice)[source]#

Base class for a manager of virtual allocations.

Parameters:: context – an instance of Context.

allocator(dependencies: Any | None = None) → VirtualAllocator[source]#

Create a callable to use for Array creation.

Parameters:: dependencies – can be a Array instance (the ones containing persistent allocations will be ignored), an iterable with valid values, or an object with the attribute __virtual_allocations__ which is a valid value (the last two will be processed recursively).

pack(queue: Queue) → None[source]#: Packs the real allocations possibly reducing total memory usage. This process can be slow and may synchronize the base queue.

statistics() → VirtualAllocationStatistics[source]#: Returns allocation statistics.

class grunnur.virtual_alloc.TrivialManager(device: BoundDevice)[source]#: Trivial manager — allocates a separate buffer for each allocation request.

class grunnur.virtual_alloc.ZeroOffsetManager(device: BoundDevice)[source]#: Tries to assign several allocation requests to a single real allocation, if dependencies allow that. All virtual allocations start from the beginning of real allocations.

class grunnur.virtual_alloc.VirtualAllocator(manager: VirtualManager, dependencies: Set[int])[source]#: A helper callable object to use as an allocator for Array creation. Encapsulates the dependencies (as identifiers, doesn’t hold references for actual objects).

class grunnur.virtual_alloc.VirtualAllocationStatistics[source]#

Virtual allocation details.

real_num: int#: The number of physical allocations.

real_size_total: int#: The total size of physical allocations (in bytes).

real_sizes: Dict[int, int]#: A dictionary size: count with the counts for physical allocations of each size.

virtual_num: int#: The number of virtual allocations.

virtual_size_total: int#: The total size of virtual allocations (in bytes).

virtual_sizes: Dict[int, int]#: A dictionary size: count with the counts for virtual allocations of each size.

Kernel toolbox#

There is a set of macros attached to any kernel depending on the API it is being compiled for:

GRUNNUR_CUDA_API#: If defined, specifies that the kernel is being compiled for CUDA API.

GRUNNUR_OPENCL_API#: If defined, specifies that the kernel is being compiled for CUDA API.

GRUNNUR_FAST_MATH#: If defined, specifies that the compilation for this kernel was requested with fast_math == True.

LOCAL_BARRIER#: Synchronizes threads inside a block.

FUNCTION#: Modifier for a device-only function declaration.

KERNEL#: Modifier for a kernel function declaration.

GLOBAL_MEM#: Modifier for a global memory pointer argument.

LOCAL_MEM_DECL#: Modifier for a statically allocated local memory variable.

LOCAL_MEM_DYNAMIC#: Modifier for a dynamically allocated local memory variable (CUDA only).

LOCAL_MEM#: Modifier for a local memory argument in device-only functions.

CONSTANT_MEM_DECL#: Modifier for a statically allocated constant memory variable.

CONSTANT_MEM#: Modifier for a constant memory argument in device-only functions.

INLINE#: Modifier for inline functions.

SIZE_T#: The type of local/global IDs and sizes. Equal to unsigned int for CUDA, and size_t for OpenCL (which can be 32- or 64-bit unsigned integer, depending on the device).

SIZE_T get_local_id(unsigned int dim)#

SIZE_T get_group_id(unsigned int dim)#

SIZE_T get_global_id(unsigned int dim)#

SIZE_T get_local_size(unsigned int dim)#

SIZE_T get_num_groups(unsigned int dim)#

SIZE_T get_global_size(unsigned int dim)#: Local, group and global identifiers and sizes. In case of CUDA mimic the behavior of corresponding OpenCL functions.

VSIZE_T#: The type of local/global IDs in the virtual grid. It is separate from SIZE_T because the former is intended to be equivalent to what the backend is using, while VSIZE_T is a separate type and can be made larger than SIZE_T in the future if necessary.

ALIGN(int)#

Used to specify an explicit alignment (in bytes) for fields in structures, as

typedef struct {
    char ALIGN(4) a;
    int b;
} MY_STRUCT;
