pycubool 1.2.0

Description:

pycubool 1.2.0

pycubool



pycubool is a python wrapper for cuBool library.
cuBool is a linear Boolean algebra library primitives and operations for
work with sparse matrices written on the NVIDIA CUDA platform. The primary
goal of the library is implementation, testing and profiling algorithms for
solving formal-language-constrained problems, such as context-free
and regular path queries with various semantics for graph databases.
The library provides C-compatible API, written in the GraphBLAS style.
The library is shipped with python package pycubool - wrapper for
cuBool library C API. This package exports library features and primitives
in high-level format with automated resources management and fancy syntax sugar.
The primary library primitives are sparse matrix and sparse vector of boolean values.
The library provides the most popular operations for matrix manipulation,
such as construction from values, transpose, sub-matrix/sub-vector extraction, matrix-to-vector reduce,
element-wise addition, matrix-matrix, matrix-vector, vector-matrix multiplication, and Kronecker product.
As a fallback library provides sequential backend for mentioned above operations
for computations on CPU side only. This backend is selected automatically
if Cuda compatible device is not presented in the system. This can be quite handy for
prototyping algorithms on a local computer for later running on a powerful server.
Features

Cuda backend for computations
Cpu backend for computations
Matrix/vector creation (empty, from data, with random data)
Matrix-matrix operations (multiplication, element-wise addition, kronecker product)
Matrix-vector operations (matrix-vector and vector-matrix multiplication)
Vector-vector operations (element-wise addition)
Matrix operations (equality, transpose, reduce to vector, extract sub-matrix)
Vector operations (equality, reduce to value, extract sub-vector)
Matrix/vector data extraction (as lists, as list of pairs)
Matrix/vector syntax sugar (pretty string printing, slicing, iterating through non-zero values)
IO (import/export matrix from/to .mtx file format)
GraphViz (export single matrix or set of matrices as a graph with custom color and label settings)
Debug (matrix string debug markers, logging)

Simple example
Create sparse matrices, compute matrix-matrix product and print the result to the output:
import pycubool as cb

a = cb.Matrix.empty(shape=(2, 3))
a[0, 0] = True
a[1, 2] = True

b = cb.Matrix.empty(shape=(3, 4))
b[0, 1] = True
b[0, 2] = True
b[1, 3] = True
b[2, 1] = True

print(a, b, a.mxm(b), sep="\n")

Vector example
Create sparse matrix and vector, compute matrix-vector and vector-matrix products and print the result:
import pycubool as cb

m = cb.Matrix.empty(shape=(3, 4))
m[0, 1] = True
m[1, 0] = True
m[1, 3] = True
m[2, 2] = True

v = cb.Vector.empty(nrows=4)
v[0] = True
v[2] = True

t = cb.Vector.empty(nrows=3)
t[0] = True
t[2] = True

print(m.mxv(v), t.vxm(m), sep="\n")

Transitive closure example
Compute the transitive closure problem for the directed graph and print the result:
import pycubool as cb

a = cb.Matrix.empty(shape=(4, 4))
a[0, 1] = True
a[1, 2] = True
a[2, 0] = True
a[2, 3] = True
a[3, 2] = True

t = a.dup() # Duplicate matrix where to store result
total = 0 # Current number of values

while total != t.nvals:
total = t.nvals
t.mxm(t, out=t, accumulate=True) # t += t * t

print(a, t, sep="\n")

GraphViz example
Generate GraphViz graph script for a graph stored as a set of adjacency matrices:
import pycubool as cb

name = "Test" # Displayed graph name
shape = (4, 4) # Adjacency matrices shape
colors = {"a": "red", "b": "green"} # Colors per label

a = cb.Matrix.empty(shape=shape) # Edges labeled as 'a'
a[0, 1] = True
a[1, 2] = True
a[2, 0] = True

b = cb.Matrix.empty(shape=shape) # Edges labeled as 'b'
b[2, 3] = True
b[3, 2] = True

print(cb.matrices_to_gviz(matrices={"a": a, "b": b}, graph_name=name, edge_colors=colors))

Script can be rendered by any gviz tool online and the result can be following:

The name of the library is formed by a combination of words Cuda and Boolean,
what literally means Cuda with Boolean and sounds very similar to the name of
the programming language COBOL.
