Description:

bigarray 0.2.2

bigarray
Fast and scalable numpy array using Memory-mapped I/O
Stable build:

pip install bigarray

Nightly build from github:

pip install git+https://github.com/trungnt13/bigarray@master


The three principles

Transparency: everything is numpy.array, metadata and support for extra features (e.g. multiprocessing, indexing, etc) are subtly implemented in the background.
Pragmatism: fast but easy, simplified A.P.I for common use cases
Focus: "Do one thing and do it well"

The benchmarks
About 535 times faster than HDF5 data (using h5py) and 223 times faster than normal numpy.array

Example
from multiprocessing import Pool

import numpy as np

from bigarray import PointerArray, PointerArrayWriter

n = 80 * 10 # total number of samples
jobs = [(i, i + 10) for i in range(0, n // 10, 10)]
path = '/tmp/array'

# ====== Multiprocessing writing ====== #
writer = PointerArrayWriter(path, shape=(n,), dtype='int32', remove_exist=True)


def fn_write(job):
start, end = job
# it is crucial to write at different position for different process
writer.write(
{"name%i" % i: np.arange(i * 10, i * 10 + 10) for i in range(start, end)},
start_position=start * 10)


# using 2 processes to generate and write data
with Pool(2) as p:
p.map(fn_write, jobs)
writer.flush()
writer.close()

# ====== Multiprocessing reading ====== #
x = PointerArray(path)
print(x['name0'])
print(x['name66'])
print(x['name78'])

# normal indexing
for name, (s, e) in x.indices.items():
data = x[s:e]
# fast indexing
for name in x.indices:
data = x[name]


# multiprocess indexing
def fn_read(job):
start, end = job
total = 0
for i in range(start, end):
total += np.sum(x['name%d' % i])
return total

# use multiprocessing to calculate the sum of all arrays
with Pool(2) as p:
total_sum = sum(p.map(fn_read, jobs))
print(np.sum(x), total_sum)

Output:
[0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
[660 661 662 663 664 665 666 667 668 669]
[780 781 782 783 784 785 786 787 788 789]
