pystencils
Pystencils is a symbolic domain-specific language and metaprogramming toolkit for writing high-performance numerical stencil kernels for a variety of hardware targets.
Installation
Pystencils can be installed from PyPI using pip, e.g.:
pip install pystencils~=2.0
For more information on installing pystencils, refer to the Installation Guide.
Example
Here is a code snippet that computes the average of neighboring cells:
import pystencils as ps
import numpy as np
f, g = ps.fields("f, g : [2D]")
stencil = ps.Assignment(g[0, 0],
(f[1, 0] + f[-1, 0] + f[0, 1] + f[0, -1]) / 4)
kernel = ps.create_kernel(stencil).compile()
f_arr = np.random.rand(1000, 1000)
g_arr = np.empty_like(f_arr)
kernel(f=f_arr, g=g_arr)
pystencils is mostly used for numerical simulations using finite difference or finite volume methods. It comes with automatic finite difference discretization for PDEs:
import pystencils as ps
import sympy as sp
c, v = ps.fields("c, v(2): [2D]")
adv_diff_pde = ps.fd.transient(c) - ps.fd.diffusion(c, sp.symbols("D")) + ps.fd.advection(c, v)
discretize = ps.fd.Discretization2ndOrder(dx=1, dt=0.01)
discretization = discretize(adv_diff_pde)
