RNH: Issue #2095 Loopy breaking Interpolation Kernels
Complex data types are getting into real mode PyOP2 Kernels (can't create a "Real" interpolator for example).
From this issue it is suggested that the data part of a MixedDat
is just the concatenation of several Dats
. So a MixedDat
containing 3 Dats
of length n
and dim=3
would have shape (3, n, 3)
. How does this work if the Dats
have different dims
?
I am currently trying to introduce a strict divide between the code generation and parloop execution stages in PyOP2. In order to do the code generation we need to know certain bits of information about the data we are operating on such as: dtype
, dim
(its local shape), map arity
, and access descriptor; but we don't want to tie ourselves to the actual data structures.
The suggestion is that these properties can be considered 'type' information for the Dat
/Map
/Global
etc. We could canonicalise this by declaring these attributes as explicit types. E.g. ScalarDatFloat64
or Global3Int32
(names to be bike-shedded). Code generation could then happen by only passing in the relevant type(dat)
instead of storing this information in some sort of namedtuple/dataclass.
There are some outstanding questions about this:
- What do we do about 'type' information that is more varied (e.g. map
offset
)? - What about mixed?
See for example https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/runs/3181344420. Can code mistakes cause this to happen or is it a hardware problem?
