pydaisi 0.3.0.1

A Python interface for the Daisi Platform

Simples steps for using the PyDaisi SDK

Preliminary tasks

Install with PIP

• pip install pydaisi

(Optional) Set your personal access token

Create your personal access token

• Browse to your Daisi Settings

Set it in the environment:

export DAISI_ACCESS_TOKEN=a1b2c3d4e5f67890abcdef124567890

or in a .env file:

DAISI_ACCESS_TOKEN=a1b2c3d4e5f67890abcdef124567890

Using PyDaisi

Normal calls

You can call the Daisi function, it will run until complete, and the result will be available in the value attribute when it has returned.

from pydaisi import Daisi

# instantiate a Daisi object
daisi = Daisi("Titanic Statistics")
# call a Daisi function. You can also use positional parameters: daisi.median("Age")
med = daisi.median(field="Age")
print(f"Median Age of Titanic Passengers was: {med.value}")
print(f"10th Percentile of Titanic Passengers' Ages was: {daisi.percentile('Age', .1).value}")

Parallel Execution

You may also use helper functions to execute many calls from your synchronous code

from pydaisi import Daisi

with Daisi("Titanic Statistics") as my_daisi:
    calls = []
    calls.append(my_daisi.mean("Age"))
    calls.append(my_daisi.median("Age"))
    calls.append(my_daisi.percentile("Age"))
    print(Daisi.run_parallel(*calls))

Map Execution

You can pass a list of arguments all at once, to avoid the overhead of multiple requests to the API:

from pydaisi import Daisi

with Daisi("Add Two Numbers") as my_daisi:
    dbe = my_daisi.map(args_list = [{"firstNumber": 5, "secondNumber": x} for x in range(10)])
    print(dbe.value)

Execution Status

A Daisi's status can be accessed with the status property:

from pydaisi import Daisi

with Daisi("Add Two Numbers") as my_daisi:
    de = my_daisi.compute(firstNumber=5, secondNumber=6)
    print(de.status)

Execution Logs

A Daisi's logs can be accessed with the logs property:

from pydaisi import Daisi
import time

with Daisi("Live Logging") as my_daisi:
    de = my_daisi.live_log_test(firstNumber=5, secondNumber=6, delay=3)
    de.start()
    time.sleep(2)
    print(de.logs)

Remote Results

You need not fetch the full data of a Daisi Execution in order to chain it to the computation of another daisi! Consider this example:

from pydaisi import Daisi

# Connect to the Serialization Daisi
d3 = Daisi("Daisi Serialize")

# Import numpy and define the MapStack class that we will use as an example of custom serialization
import numpy as np

class MapStack:
    def __init__(self, nx, ny):
        self.nx = nx
        self.ny = ny
        self.nb_layers = None
        self.maps = []

    def add_layer(self, map):
        if len(map.shape) == 2 and map.shape[0] == self.ny and map.shape[1] == self.nx:
            self.maps.append(map)
            self.nb_layers = len(self.maps)
            return "Map sucessfully added."
        else:
            return "Could not add map. Incompatible dimensions."

# Initialize a new MapStack object with 10 layers
nx = 200
ny = 200
ms = MapStack(nx, ny)
for i in range(10):
    ms.add_layer(np.random.rand(nx, ny))

# Compute the daisi, adding a new layer
d3_execution = d3.compute(map_stack=ms, map=np.random.rand(nx, ny))
d3_execution.value_id

# Compute the daisi, adding a another new layer
d3_execution2 = d3.compute(map_stack=d3_execution, map=np.random.rand(nx, ny))
d3_execution2.value
