midas-fit-grain 0.2.1

PyTorch single/multi-grain refiner (drop-in replacement for FitPosOrStrainsOMP / FitPosOrStrainsGPU)

midas-fit-grain

PyTorch single- and multi-grain refiner. Drop-in replacement for the C executables FitPosOrStrainsOMP / FitPosOrStrainsGPU in MIDAS FF-HEDM.

Status: 0.2.x — sparse-output pre-allocation fix (trailing-skipped seeds no longer truncate OrientPosFit / FitBest / ProcessKey) and vectorized pixel-residual fast path (~N_g× fewer kernel launches per LM iteration vs the per-grain Python loop). Park22 + Wenxi CP-Ti real-data validated. The C path remains the ff_MIDAS default; this package is opt-in via --refine-backend python.

What it does

For each grain in SpotsToIndex.csv:

• Reads matched spots from ExtraInfo.bin and the seed orientation from BestPos_*.csv (the indexer's per-spot output).
• Refines 12 parameters: position (3) + Bunge Euler (3) + lattice (6).
• Writes byte-identical OrientPosFit.bin / FitBest.bin / Key.bin consumed by the existing ff_MIDAS.py merge stage.

Solvers

--solver {lbfgs,adam,lm,nelder_mead} — default lbfgs.

Loss functions

--loss {pixel,angular,internal_angle} — default pixel.

Loss	Residual	Equivalent C function
pixel	(y, z) pixel positions on detector	FitErrorsPosT (FitPosOrStrainsOMP)
angular	(2θ, η, ω) in radians	optimize_single_grain (midas-diffract)
internal_angle	angle between ĝ_pred and ĝ_obs (rad)	CalcInternalAngle (FitOrientationOMP)

Fit modes

--mode {iterative,all_at_once} — default iterative.

• iterative: position → re-match → orientation → re-match → strain → re-match → joint polish (matches FitPosOrStrainsOMP default behavior).
• all_at_once: 12 params jointly, association computed once at entry, no mid-fit re-match.

Backends

MIDAS_FIT_GRAIN_DEVICE and MIDAS_FIT_GRAIN_DTYPE follow the same precedence contract as midas-index (cuda > mps > cpu auto-detect; f64 on CPU, f32 on accelerators). Per-grain refinement is batched into a single forward call across the block, so scaling depends on B × S (grains × spots/grain), not per-grain Python overhead.

Argv shape mirrors the C binary so the ff_MIDAS subprocess line is one-for-one.
