Mappers

Basic dispatch

class pymbolic.mapper.Mapper

A visitor for trees of pymbolic.primitives.Expression subclasses. Each expression-derived object is dispatched to the method named by the pymbolic.primitives.Expression.mapper_method attribute and if not found, the methods named by the class attribute mapper_method in the method resolution order of the object.

__call__(expr, *args, **kwargs)

Dispatch expr to its corresponding mapper method. Pass on *args and **kwargs unmodified.

This method is intended as the top-level dispatch entry point and may be overridden by subclasses to present a different/more convenient interface. rec() on the other hand is intended as the recursive dispatch method to be used to recurse within mapper method implementations.

rec(expr, *args, **kwargs)

Identical to __call__(), but intended for use in recursive dispatch in mapper methods.

handle_unsupported_expression(expr, *args, **kwargs)

Mapper method that is invoked for pymbolic.primitives.Expression subclasses for which a mapper method does not exist in this mapper.

Handling objects that don’t declare mapper methods

In particular, this includes many non-subclasses of pymbolic.primitives.Expression.

map_foreign(expr, *args, **kwargs)

Mapper method dispatch for non-pymbolic objects.

These are abstract methods for foreign objects that should be overridden in subclasses:

map_constant(expr, *args, **kwargs)

Mapper method for constants. See pymbolic.primitives.register_constant_class().

map_list(expr, *args, **kwargs)

map_tuple(expr, *args, **kwargs)

map_numpy_array(expr, *args, **kwargs)

Base classes for new mappers

class pymbolic.mapper.CombineMapper

A mapper whose goal it is to combine all branches of the expression tree into one final result. The default implementation of all mapper methods simply recurse (Mapper.rec()) on all branches emanating from the current expression, and then call combine() on a tuple of results.

combine(values)

Combine the mapped results of multiple expressions (given in values) into a single result, often by summing or taking set unions.

The pymbolic.mapper.flop_counter.FlopCounter is a very simple example. (Look at its source for an idea of how to derive from CombineMapper.) The pymbolic.mapper.dependency.DependencyMapper is another example.

class pymbolic.mapper.Collector

A subclass of CombineMapper for the common purpose of collecting data derived from an expression in a set that gets ‘unioned’ across children at each non-leaf node in the expression tree.

By default, nothing is collected. All leaves return empty sets.

New in version 2014.3.

class pymbolic.mapper.IdentityMapper

A Mapper whose default mapper methods make a deep copy of each subexpression.

See Manipulating expressions for an example of the manipulations that can be implemented this way.

class pymbolic.mapper.WalkMapper

A mapper whose default mapper method implementations simply recurse without propagating any result. Also calls visit() for each visited subexpression.

map_... methods are required to call visit() before

descending to visit their chidlren.

visit(expr, *args, **kwargs)

Returns False if no children of this node should be examined.

post_visit(expr, *args, **kwargs)

Is called after a node’s children are visited.

class pymbolic.mapper.CSECachingMapperMixin

A mix-in that helps subclassed mappers implement caching for pymbolic.primitives.CommonSubexpression instances.

Instead of the common mapper method for pymbolic.primitives.CommonSubexpression, subclasses should implement the following method:

map_common_subexpression_uncached(expr)

This method deliberately does not support extra arguments in mapper dispatch, to avoid spurious dependencies of the cache on these arguments.

Mappers

class pymbolic.mapper.stringifier.StringifyMapper

A mapper to turn an expression tree into a string.

pymbolic.primitives.Expression.__str__ is often implemented using this mapper.

When it encounters an unsupported pymbolic.primitives.Expression subclass, it calls its pymbolic.primitives.Expression.make_stringifier() method to get a StringifyMapper that potentially does.

__call__(expr, prec=0, *args, **kwargs)

Return a string corresponding to expr. If the enclosing precedence level prec is higher than prec (see Precedence constants), parenthesize the result.

class pymbolic.mapper.stringifier.CSESplittingStringifyMapperMixin

A mix-in for subclasses of StringifyMapper that collects “variable assignments” for pymbolic.primitives.CommonSubexpression objects.

cse_to_name

A dict mapping expressions to CSE variable names.

cse_names

A set of names already assigned.

cse_name_list

A list of tuples of names and their string representations, in order of their dependencies. When generating code, walk down these names in order, and the generated code will never reference an undefined variable.

See pymbolic.mapper.c_code.CCodeMapper for an example of the use of this mix-in.

class pymbolic.mapper.stringifier.LaTeXMapper

class pymbolic.mapper.c_code.CCodeMapper(reverse=True, cse_prefix='_cse', complex_constant_base_type='double', cse_name_list=None)

Generate C code for expressions, while extracting pymbolic.primitives.CommonSubexpression instances.

As an example, define a fairly simple expression expr:

>>> import pymbolic.primitives as p
>>> x = p.Variable("x")
>>> CSE = p.CommonSubexpression
>>> u = CSE(3*x**2-5, "u")
>>> expr = u/(u+3)*(u+5)
>>> print(expr)
(CSE(3*x**2 + -5) / (CSE(3*x**2 + -5) + 3))*(CSE(3*x**2 + -5) + 5)

Notice that if we were to directly generate code from this, the subexpression u would be evaluated multiple times.

>>> from pymbolic.mapper.c_code import CCodeMapper as CCM
>>> ccm = CCM()
>>> result = ccm(expr)

>>> for name, value in ccm.cse_name_list:
...     print("%s = %s;" % (name, value))
...
_cse_u = 3 * x * x + -5;
>>> print(result)
_cse_u / (_cse_u + 3) * (_cse_u + 5)

See pymbolic.mapper.stringifier.CSESplittingStringifyMapperMixin for the cse_* attributes.

class pymbolic.mapper.graphviz.GraphvizMapper

Produces code for dot that yields an expression tree of the traversed expression(s).

get_dot_code()

Return the dot source code for a previously traversed expression.

New in version 2015.1.

Some minimal mathematics

class pymbolic.mapper.evaluator.EvaluationMapper(context=None)

Example usage:

>>> import pymbolic.primitives as p
>>> x = p.Variable("x")

>>> u = 5*x**2 - 3*x
>>> print(u)
5*x**2 + (-1)*3*x

>>> from pymbolic.mapper.evaluator import EvaluationMapper as EM
>>> EM(context={"x": 5})(u)
110

class pymbolic.mapper.differentiator.DifferentiationMapper(variable, func_map=<function map_math_functions_by_name>, allowed_nonsmoothness=None)

Example usage:

>>> import pymbolic.primitives as p
>>> x = p.Variable("x")
>>> expr = x*(x+5)**3/(x-1)**2

>>> from pymbolic.mapper.differentiator import DifferentiationMapper as DM
>>> print(DM(x)(expr))
(((x + 5)**3 + x*3*(x + 5)**2)*(x + -1)**2 + (-1)*2*(x + -1)*x*(x + 5)**3) / (x + -1)**2**2

class pymbolic.mapper.distributor.DistributeMapper(collector=None, const_folder=None)

Example usage:

>>> import pymbolic.primitives as p
>>> x = p.Variable("x")
>>> expr = (x+1)**7
>>> from pymbolic.mapper.distributor import DistributeMapper as DM
>>> print DM()(expr) 
7*x**6 + 21*x**5 + 21*x**2 + 35*x**3 + 1 + 35*x**4 + 7*x + x**7

class pymbolic.mapper.collector.TermCollector(parameters=None)

A term collector that assumes that multiplication is commutative.

Allows specifying parameters (a set of pymbolic.primitives.Variable instances) that are viewed as being coefficients and are not used for term collection.

class pymbolic.mapper.constant_folder.ConstantFoldingMapper

class pymbolic.mapper.constant_folder.CommutativeConstantFoldingMapper

Finding expression properties

class pymbolic.mapper.dependency.DependencyMapper(include_subscripts=True, include_lookups=True, include_calls=True, include_cses=False, composite_leaves=None)

Maps an expression to the set of expressions it is based on. The include_* arguments to the constructor determine which types of objects occur in this output set. If all are False, only pymbolic.primitives.Variable instances are included.

class pymbolic.mapper.flop_counter.FlopCounter

class pymbolic.mapper.flop_counter.CSEAwareFlopCounter

A flop counter that only counts the contribution from common subexpressions once.

Warning

You must use a fresh mapper for each new evaluation operation for which reuse may take place.
