Targets

See also Targets.

A simple declarator: The type is given as a numpy.dtype and the name is given as a string.

class loopy.target.c.ScopingBlock(contents=[])

A block that is mandatory for scoping and may not be simplified away by loopy.codegen.result.merge_codegen_results().

class loopy.target.c.codegen.expression.ExpressionToCExpressionMapper(codegen_state, fortran_abi=False, type_inf_mapper=None)

Mapper that converts a loopy-semantic expression to a C-semantic expression with typecasts, appropriate arithmetic semantic mapping, etc.

Symbolic

See also Expressions.

Loopy-specific expression types

class loopy.symbolic.Literal(s)

A literal to be used during code generation.

Note

Only used in the output of loopy.target.c.codegen.expression.ExpressionToCExpressionMapper (and similar mappers). Not for use in Loopy source representation.

class loopy.symbolic.ArrayLiteral(children)

An array literal.

Note

Only used in the output of loopy.target.c.codegen.expression.ExpressionToCExpressionMapper (and similar mappers). Not for use in Loopy source representation.

class loopy.symbolic.FunctionIdentifier

A base class for symbols representing functions.

class loopy.symbolic.TypedCSE(child, prefix=None, dtype=None)

A pymbolic.primitives.CommonSubexpression annotated with a numpy.dtype.

class loopy.symbolic.TypeCast(type, child)

Only defined for numerical types with semantics matching numpy.ndarray.astype().

child

The expression to be cast.

class loopy.symbolic.TaggedVariable(name, tags)

This is an identifier with tags, such as matrix$one, where ‘one’ identifies this specific use of the identifier. This mechanism may then be used to address these uses–such as by prefetching only accesses tagged a certain way.

tags

A frozenset of subclasses of pytools.tag.Tag used to provide metadata on this object. Legacy string tags are converted to LegacyStringInstructionTag or, if they used to carry a functional meaning, the tag carrying that same fucntional meaning (e.g. UseStreamingStoreTag).

Inherits from pymbolic.primitives.Variable and pytools.tag.Taggable.

class loopy.symbolic.Reduction(operation, inames, expr, allow_simultaneous=False)

Represents a reduction operation on expr across inames.

operation

an instance of :class:`loopy.library.reduction.ReductionOperation`

inames

a list of inames across which reduction on expr is being carried out.

expr

allow_simultaneous

A bool. If not True, an iname is allowed to be used in precisely one reduction, to avoid mis-nesting errors.

class loopy.symbolic.LinearSubscript(aggregate, index)

Represents a linear index into a multi-dimensional array, completely ignoring any multi-dimensional layout.

class loopy.symbolic.RuleArgument(index)

Represents a (numbered) argument of a loopy.SubstitutionRule. Only used internally in the rule-aware mappers to match subst rules independently of argument names.

class loopy.symbolic.ResolvedFunction(function)

A function identifier whose definition is known in a loopy program. A function is said to be known in a TranslationUnit if its name maps to an InKernelCallable in loopy.TranslationUnit.callables_table. Refer to Function Interface.

Array

class loopy.kernel.array.ArrayDimImplementationTag(*args, **kwargs)

class loopy.kernel.array._StrideArrayDimTagBase(*args, **kwargs)

target_axis

For objects (such as images) with more than one axis, target_axis sets which of these indices is being targeted by this dimension. Note that there may be multiple dim_tags with the same target_axis, their contributions are combined additively.

Note that “normal” arrays only have one target_axis.

layout_nesting_level

For determining the stride of ComputedStrideArrayDimTag, this determines the layout nesting level of this axis. This must be a contiguous sequence of unique integers starting at 0 in a single ArrayBase.dim_tags. The lowest nesting level varies fastest when viewed in linear memory.

May be None on FixedStrideArrayDimTag, in which case no ComputedStrideArrayDimTag instances may occur.

class loopy.kernel.array.FixedStrideArrayDimTag(stride, target_axis=0, layout_nesting_level=None)

An arg dimension implementation tag for a fixed (potentially symbolic) stride.

stride

May be one of the following:

• A pymbolic.primitives.Expression, including an integer, indicating the stride in units of the underlying array’s ArrayBase.dtype.

• loopy.auto, indicating that a new kernel argument for this stride should automatically be created.

The stride is given in units of ArrayBase.dtype.

class loopy.kernel.array.ComputedStrideArrayDimTag(layout_nesting_level, pad_to=None, target_axis=0)

pad_to
