Scalable discipline

The discipline implements the concept of scalable discipline. This is a particular discipline built from a input-output learning dataset associated with a function and generalizing its behavior to a new user-defined problem dimension, that is to say new used-defined input and output dimensions.

Alone or in interaction with other objects of the same type, a scalable discipline can be used to compare the efficiency of an algorithm applying to disciplines with respect to the problem dimension, e.g. optimization algorithm, surrogate model, MDO formulation, MDA, …

The ScalableDiscipline class implements this concept. It inherits from the MDODiscipline class in such a way that it can easily be used in a Scenario. It is composed of a ScalableModel.

The user only needs to provide:

• the name of a class overloading ScalableModel,

• a dataset as an AbstractFullCache

• variables sizes as a dictionary whose keys are the names of inputs and outputs and values are their new sizes. If a variable is missing, its original size is considered.

The ScalableModel parameters can also be filled in, otherwise the model uses default values.

class gemseo.problems.scalable.discipline.ScalableDiscipline(name, data, sizes=None, **parameters)
