set_cache_policy(cache_type='SimpleCache', cache_tolerance=0.0, cache_hdf_file=None, cache_hdf_node_name=None, is_memory_shared=True)

Set the type of cache to use and the tolerance level.

This method defines when the output data have to be cached according to the distance between the corresponding input data and the input data already cached for which output data are also cached.

The cache can be either a SimpleCache recording the last execution or a cache storing all executions, e.g. MemoryFullCache and HDF5Cache. Caching data can be either in-memory, e.g. SimpleCache and MemoryFullCache, or on the disk, e.g. HDF5Cache.

The attribute CacheFactory.caches provides the available caches types.

Parameters
  • cache_type (str) –

    The type of cache.

    By default it is set to SimpleCache.

  • cache_tolerance (float) –

    The maximum relative norm of the difference between two input arrays to consider that two input arrays are equal.

    By default it is set to 0.0.

  • cache_hdf_file (Optional[Union[str, pathlib.Path]]) –

    The path to the HDF file to store the data; this argument is mandatory when the HDF5Cache policy is used.

    By default it is set to None.

  • cache_hdf_node_name (Optional[str]) –

    The name of the HDF file node to store the discipline data. If None, name is used.

    By default it is set to None.

  • is_memory_shared (bool) –

    Whether to store the data with a shared memory dictionary, which makes the cache compatible with multiprocessing.

    By default it is set to True.

Return type

None

set_differentiation_method(method='user', step=1e-06)

Set the differentiation method for the process.

Parameters
  • method (Optional[str]) –

    The method to use to differentiate the process, either “user”, “finite_differences”, “complex_step” or “no_derivatives”, which is equivalent to None.

    By default it is set to user.

  • step (float) –

    The finite difference step.

    By default it is set to 1e-06.

Return type

None

set_disciplines_statuses(status)

Set the sub-disciplines statuses.

To be implemented in subclasses.

Parameters

status (str) – The status.

Return type

None

set_jacobian_approximation(jac_approx_type='finite_differences', jax_approx_step=1e-07, jac_approx_n_processes=1, jac_approx_use_threading=False, jac_approx_wait_time=0)

Set the Jacobian approximation method.

Sets the linearization mode to approx_method, sets the parameters of the approximation for further use when calling linearize().

Parameters
  • jac_approx_type (str) –

    The approximation method, either “complex_step” or “finite_differences”.

    By default it is set to finite_differences.

  • jax_approx_step (float) –

    The differentiation step.

    By default it is set to 1e-07.

  • jac_approx_n_processes (int) –

    The maximum number of processors on which to run.

    By default it is set to 1.

  • jac_approx_use_threading (bool) –

    Whether to use threads instead of processes to parallelize the execution; multiprocessing will copy (serialize) all the disciplines, while threading will share all the memory This is important to note if you want to execute the same discipline multiple times, you shall use multiprocessing.

    By default it is set to False.

  • jac_approx_wait_time (float) –

    The time waited between two forks of the process / thread.

    By default it is set to 0.

Return type

None

set_optimal_fd_step(outputs=None, inputs=None, force_all=False, print_errors=False, numerical_error=2.220446049250313e-16)

Compute the optimal finite-difference step.

Compute the optimal step for a forward first order finite differences gradient approximation. Requires a first evaluation of the perturbed functions values. The optimal step is reached when the truncation error (cut in the Taylor development), and the numerical cancellation errors (roundoff when doing f(x+step)-f(x))

are approximately equal.

Warning

This calls the discipline execution twice per input variables.

Parameters
  • inputs

    The inputs wrt which the outputs are linearized. If None, use the _differentiated_inputs.

    By default it is set to None.

  • outputs

    The outputs to be linearized. If None, use the _differentiated_outputs.

    By default it is set to None.

  • force_all

    Whether to consider all the inputs and outputs of the discipline;

    By default it is set to False.

  • print_errors

    Whether to display the estimated errors.

    By default it is set to False.

  • numerical_error

    The numerical error associated to the calculation of f. By default, this is the machine epsilon (appx 1e-16), but can be higher when the calculation of f requires a numerical resolution.

    By default it is set to 2.220446049250313e-16.

Returns

The estimated errors of truncation and cancellation error.

Raises

ValueError – When the Jacobian approximation method has not been set.
