taichi.lang.snode
#
- class taichi.lang.snode.SNode(ptr)#
A Python-side SNode wrapper.
For more information on Taichi’s SNode system, please check out these references:
- Arg:
ptr (pointer): The C++ side SNode pointer.
- bitmasked(self, axes, dimensions)#
Adds a bitmasked SNode as a child component of self.
- Parameters:
axes (List[Axis]) – Axes to activate.
dimensions (Union[List[int], int]) – Shape of each axis.
- Returns:
The added
SNode
instance.
- deactivate_all(self)#
Recursively deactivate all children components of self.
- dense(self, axes, dimensions)#
Adds a dense SNode as a child component of self.
- Parameters:
axes (List[Axis]) – Axes to activate.
dimensions (Union[List[int], int]) – Shape of each axis.
- Returns:
The added
SNode
instance.
- dynamic(self, axis, dimension, chunk_size=None)#
Adds a dynamic SNode as a child component of self.
- Parameters:
axis (List[Axis]) – Axis to activate, must be 1.
dimension (int) – Shape of the axis.
chunk_size (int) – Chunk size.
- Returns:
The added
SNode
instance.
- lazy_dual(self)#
Automatically place the dual fields following the layout of their primal fields.
- lazy_grad(self)#
Automatically place the adjoint fields following the layout of their primal fields.
Users don’t need to specify
needs_grad
when they define scalar/vector/matrix fields (primal fields) using autodiff. When all the primal fields are defined, usingtaichi.root.lazy_grad()
could automatically generate their corresponding adjoint fields (gradient field).To know more details about primal, adjoint fields and
lazy_grad()
, please see Page 4 and Page 13-14 of DiffTaichi Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.00935.pdf
- parent(self, n=1)#
Gets an ancestor of self in the SNode tree.
- Parameters:
n (int) – the number of levels going up from self.
- Returns:
The n-th parent of self.
- Return type:
Union[None, _Root, SNode]
- place(self, *args, offset=None)#
Places a list of Taichi fields under the self container.
- Parameters:
*args (List[ti.field]) – A list of Taichi fields to place.
offset (Union[Number, tuple[Number]]) – Offset of the field domain.
- Returns:
The self container.
- pointer(self, axes, dimensions)#
Adds a pointer SNode as a child component of self.
- Parameters:
axes (List[Axis]) – Axes to activate.
dimensions (Union[List[int], int]) – Shape of each axis.
- Returns:
The added
SNode
instance.
- quant_array(self, axes, dimensions, max_num_bits)#
Adds a quant_array SNode as a child component of self.
- Parameters:
axes (List[Axis]) – Axes to activate.
dimensions (Union[List[int], int]) – Shape of each axis.
max_num_bits (int) – Maximum number of bits it can hold.
- Returns:
The added
SNode
instance.
- taichi.lang.snode.activate(node, indices)#
Explicitly activate a cell of node at location indices.
- taichi.lang.snode.append(node, indices, val)#
Append a value val to a SNode node at index indices.
- Parameters:
node (
SNode
) – Input SNode.indices (Union[int,
Vector
]) – the indices to visit.val (Union[
primitive_types
,compound_types
]) – the data to be appended.
- taichi.lang.snode.deactivate(node, indices)#
Explicitly deactivate a cell of node at location indices.
After deactivation, the Taichi runtime automatically recycles and zero-fills the memory of the deactivated cell.
- taichi.lang.snode.get_addr(f, indices)#
Query the memory address (on CUDA/x64) of field f at index indices.
Currently, this function can only be called inside a taichi kernel.
- Parameters:
f (Union[
Field
,MatrixField
]) – Input taichi field for memory address query.indices (Union[int,
Vector
]) – The specified field indices of the query.
- Returns:
The memory address of f[indices].
- Return type:
ti.u64
- taichi.lang.snode.is_active(node, indices)#
Explicitly query whether a cell in a SNode node at location indices is active or not.
- taichi.lang.snode.length(node, indices)#
Return the length of the dynamic SNode node at index indices.
- taichi.lang.snode.rescale_index(a, b, I)#
Rescales the index ‘I’ of field (or SNode) ‘a’ to match the shape of SNode ‘b’.
- Parameters:
a (Union[
Field
,MatrixField
) – Input taichi fields or snodes.b (Union[
Field
,MatrixField
) – Input taichi fields or snodes.I (Union[list,
Vector
]) – grouped loop index.
- Returns:
rescaled grouped loop index
- Return type:
Ib (
Vector
)
