pyMOR - Model Order Reduction with Python

pyMOR is a software library for building model order reduction applications with the Python programming language. Implemented algorithms include reduced basis methods for parametric linear and non-linear problems, as well as system-theoretic methods such as balanced truncation or IRKA (Iterative Rational Krylov Algorithm). All algorithms in pyMOR are formulated in terms of abstract interfaces for seamless integration with external PDE (Partial Differential Equation) solver packages. Moreover, pure Python implementations of FEM (Finite Element Method) and FVM (Finite Volume Method) discretizations using the NumPy/SciPy scientific computing stack are provided for getting started quickly.

Installation via pip

We recommend installation of pyMOR in a virtual environment.

pyMOR can easily be installed with the pip command:

pip install --upgrade pip  # make sure that pip is reasonably new
pip install pymor[full]

(Please note that pip must be at least version 20.3.4)

This will install the latest release of pyMOR on your system with most optional dependencies. For Linux we provide binary wheels, so no further system packages should be required. Use

pip install pymor

for an installation with minimal dependencies. There are some optional packages not included with pymor[full] because they need additional setup on your system:

  • for support of MPI distributed models and parallelization of greedy algorithms (requires MPI development headers and a C compiler):

    pip install mpi4py
    
  • dense matrix equation solver for system-theoretic MOR methods, required for H-infinity norm calculation (requires OpenBLAS headers and a Fortran compiler):

    pip install slycot
    
  • dense and sparse matrix equation solver for system-theoretic MOR methods (other backends available):

If you are not operating in a virtual environment, you can pass the optional --user argument to pip. pyMOR will then only be installed for your local user, not requiring administrator privileges.

To install the latest development version of pyMOR, execute

pip install git+https://github.com/pymor/pymor#egg=pymor[full]

which will require that the git version control system is installed on your system.

From time to time, the main branch of pyMOR undergoes major changes and things might break (this is usually announced in our discussion forum), so you might prefer to install pyMOR from the current release branch:

pip install git+https://github.com/pymor/pymor@2021.1.x#egg=pymor[full]

Release branches will always stay stable and will only receive bugfix commits after the corresponding release has been made.

Installation via conda

pyMOR can be installed using conda by running

conda install -c conda-forge pymor

Documentation

Documentation is available online or you can build it yourself from inside the root directory of the pyMOR source tree by executing:

make docs

This will generate HTML documentation in docs/_build/html.

Useful Links

External PDE solvers

pyMOR has been designed with easy integration of external PDE solvers in mind.

A basic approach is to use the solver only to generate high-dimensional system matrices which are then read by pyMOR from disk (pymor.discretizers.disk). Another possibility is to steer the solver via an appropriate network protocol.

Whenever possible, we recommend to recompile the solver as a Python extension module which gives pyMOR direct access to the solver without any communication overhead. A basic example using pybind11 can be found in src/pymordemos/minimal_cpp_demo. Moreover, we provide bindings for the following solver libraries:

  • FEniCS

    MPI-compatible wrapper classes for dolfin linear algebra data structures are shipped with pyMOR (pymor.bindings.fenics). For an example see pymordemos.thermalblock, pymordemos.thermalblock_simple. It is tested using version 2019.1.0.

  • deal.II

    Python bindings and pyMOR wrapper classes can be found here.

  • NGSolve

    Wrapper classes for the NGSolve finite element library are shipped with pyMOR (pymor.bindings.ngsolve). For an example see pymordemos.thermalblock_simple. It is tested using version v6.2.2006.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you need help with the integration of your PDE solver.

External Matrix Equation Solvers

pyMOR also provides bindings to matrix equation solvers (in pymor.bindings), which are needed for the system-theoretic methods and need to be installed separately. Bindings for the following solver libraries are included:

  • Py-M.E.S.S.

    The Matrix Equation Sparse Solver library is intended for solving large sparse matrix equations (pymor.bindings.pymess).

  • Slycot

    Python wrapper for the Subroutine Library in Systems and Control Theory (SLICOT) is also used for Hardy norm computations (pymor.bindings.slycot).
