Targets

See also Targets.

class loopy.target.c.POD(ast_builder, dtype, name)

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.

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, tag)

This is an identifier with a tag, 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.

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

Represents a reduction operation on expr across inames.

operation

an instance of loopy.library.reduction.ReductionOperation

inames

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

expr

An expression which may have tuple type. If the expression has tuple type, it must be one of the following: * a tuple of pymbolic.primitives.Expression, or * a loopy.symbolic.Reduction, or * a function call or substitution rule invocation.

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.ExpansionState(*args, **kwargs)

kernel

instruction

stack

a tuple representing the current expansion stack, as a tuple of (name, tag) pairs.

arg_context

a dict representing current argument values

class loopy.symbolic.RuleAwareIdentityMapper(rule_mapping_context)

Note: the third argument dragged around by this mapper is the current ExpansionState.

Subclasses of this must be careful to not touch identifiers that are in ExpansionState.arg_context.

Types

DTypes of variables in a loopy.LoopKernel must be picklable, so in the codegen pipeline user-provided types are converted to loopy.types.LoopyType.

class loopy.types.LoopyType

Abstract class for dtypes of variables encountered in a loopy.LoopKernel.

class loopy.types.NumpyType(dtype, target=None)

This object works around several issues with pickling numpy.dtype objects. It does so by serving as a picklable wrapper around the original dtype.

The issues are the following

• numpy.dtype objects for custom types in loopy are usually registered in the target’s dtype registry. This registration may have been lost after unpickling. This container restores it implicitly, as part of unpickling.

• There is a`numpy bug <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/4317>`_ that prevents unpickled dtypes from hashing properly. This is solved by retrieving the ‘canonical’ type from the dtype registry.

class loopy.types.AtomicType

Abstract class for dtypes of variables encountered in a loopy.LoopKernel on which atomic operations are performed .

class loopy.types.AtomicNumpyType(dtype, target=None)

A dtype wrapper that indicates that the described type should be capable of atomic operations.

Parameters

• tags – An iterable of tags.

• tag_type – a subclass of loopy.kernel.data.IndexTag.

• max_num – the maximum number of tags expected to be found.

• min_num – the minimum number of tags expected to be found.

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
