Core

---

The core data structures for starting up studies.

This module contains all of the core data structures that are needed for constructing and representing studies and the moving parts that they require. These moving parts include but are not limited to:

• Classes for representing the abstract flow of a study. These objects at their core are the Study and StudyStep classes that are used to construct a DAG for the flow.
• Classes that represent the items in a study's environment such as variables, scripts, and dependencies (paths, git repos, etc.)
• Classes for managing the environment and that know how to apply the environment to an abstract flow.
• A set of classes for managing parameters and generating combinations of parameters in a clean Pythonic way.

Combination

Bases: object

Class representing a combination of parameters.

This class represents a combination of parameters generated by a class of type ParameterGenerator. The only time a user should ever get an instance of a Combination from the ParameterGenerator is when a combination of parameters is VALID.

ExecutionGraph

Bases: DAG, PickleInterface

Datastructure that tracks, executes, and reports on study execution.

The ExecutionGraph is used to manage, monitor, and interact with tasks and the scheduler. This class searches its graph for tasks that are ready to run, marks tasks as complete, and schedules ready tasks.

The Execution class is where functionality for checking task status, logic for managing and automatically directing and manipulating the workflow should go. Essentially, if logic is needed to automatically manipulate the workflow in some fashion or additional monitoring is needed, this class is where that would go.

ParameterGenerator

Class for containing parameters and generating combinations.

The goal of this class is to provide one centralized location for managing and storing parameters. This implementation of the ParameterGenerator, currently, is very basic. It takes lists of parameters and uses those to construct combinations, meaning that if you were to view this as an Excel table, you would have a row for each valid combination you wanted to study.

The other goal is to make it so that by having the ParameterGenerator manage parameters, functionality can be added without affecting how the end user interacts with this class. The ParameterGenerator has an Iterator defined and will generate each combination one by one. The end user should NEVER SEE AN INVALID COMBINATION. Because this class generates the combinations as specified by the parameters added (eventually with types or enforced inheritance), and eventually constraints, it opens up being able to quietly change how this class generates its combinations.

Easily convert studies to other types of studies. Because the API doesn't change from its nice Pythonic style, you can in theory swap out a ParameterGenerator that performs completely differently. All of a sudden, you can get the following for simply deriving from this class:

• Uncertainty Quantification (UQ): Add the ability to statistically sample parameters behind the scenes. Let the ParameterGenerator constraint solve behind the scenes and return the Combination objects it was going to return in the first place. If you can't find a valid sampling, just return nothing and the study won't run.
• Boundary and constraint testing: Like UQ above, hide the solving from the user. Simply add parameters to be constraint solved on behind the API and all the user sees is combinations on the frontend.

Ideally, all parameter generation schemes should boil down as follows:

1. Derive from this class, add constraint solving.
2. Construct a study how you would otherwise do so, just use the new ParameterGenerator and add parameters.
3. Setup, stage, and execute your study.
4. Profit.

Study

Bases: DAG, PickleInterface

Collection of high level objects to perform study construction.

The Study class is part of the meat and potatoes of this whole package. A Study object is where the intersection of the major moving parts are collected. These moving parts include:

• ParameterGenerator for getting combinations of user parameters
• StudyEnvironment for managing and applying the environment to studies
• Study flow, which is a DAG of the abstract workflow

The class is responsible for a number of the major key steps in study setup as well. Those responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Setting up the workspace where a simulation campaign will be run.

• Applying the StudyEnvionment to the abstract flow DAG:

  • Creating the global workspace for a study.
  • Setting up the parameterized workspaces for each combination.
  • Acquiring dependencies as specified in the StudyEnvironment.

• Intelligently constructing the expanded DAG to be able to:

  • Recognize when a step executes in a parameterized workspace
  • Recognize when a step executes in the global workspace

• Expanding the abstract flow to the full set of specified parameters.

Future functionality that makes sense to add here:

• Metadata collection. If we're setting things up here, collect the general information. We might even want to venture to say that a set of directives may be useful so that they could be placed into Dependency classes as hooks for dumping that data automatically.
• A way of packaging an instance of the class up into something that is easy to store in the ExecutionDAG class so that an API can be designed in whatever class ends up managing all of this to have machine learning applications pipe messages to spin up new studies using the same environment.
