PyQUDA

Python wrapper for QUDA written in Cython.

This project aims to benefit from the optimized linear algebra library CuPy in Python based on CUDA. CuPy and QUDA will allow us to perform most lattice QCD research operations with high performance. PyTorch is an alternative option. DPNP is the recommendation for Intel GPU.

This project is based on the latest QUDA develop branch. PyQUDA should be compatible with any commit of QUDA after https://github.com/lattice/quda/pull/1489, but leave some features disabled.

Installation

Install from PyPI (Recommend)

Assuming the QUDA installation path is /path/to/quda/build/usqcd

export QUDA_PATH=/path/to/quda/build/usqcd
python3 -m pip install pyquda pyquda-utils

Install from source

export QUDA_PATH=/path/to/quda/build/usqcd
git clone --recursive https://github.com/CLQCD/PyQUDA.git
cd PyQUDA/pyquda_core
python3 -m pip install .
cd ..
python3 -m pip install .

Benchmark

Refer to https://github.com/CLQCD/PyQUDA/wiki/Benchmark for detailed instructions to run the PyQUDA benchmark.

Documentation (draft)

https://github.com/CLQCD/PyQUDA/wiki/Documentation

Plugin

Refer to https://github.com/CLQCD/PyQUDA/wiki/Plugin for detailed instructions to build PyQUDA plugins.

Here are plugins developed by PyQUDA developers:

Development

We recommend building PyQUDA using in-place mode instead of installing PyQUDA for development.

export QUDA_PATH=/path/to/quda/build/usqcd
git clone --recursive https://github.com/CLQCD/PyQUDA.git
cd PyQUDA/pyquda_core
python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace
cd ..
python3 setup.py egg_info
ln -s pyquda_core/pyquda_comm ./
ln -s pyquda_core/pyquda ./

Now you can modify Python files in the project and immediately get the new result by running scripts. Adding the root directory to sys.path is needed if you are running scripts from other directories.

Maintenance

Function definitions (mainly in quda.in.pxd and quda.in.pyx) and most docstrings (mainly in pyquda.pyi and enum_quda.in.py) should be manually updated as they cannot be autogenerated now. This also means PyQUDA should work well with future versions if the API remains unchanged.
