Package 'odin.dust'

Title: Compile Odin to Dust
Description: Less painful than it sounds, this package compiles an odin model to use dust, our new stochastic model system. Supports only a subset of odin models (discrete time stochastic models with no interpolation and no delays).

Create a dust odin model

Description

Compile an odin model to work with dust.

Usage

odin_dust(x, ..., options = NULL)

odin_dust_(x, ..., options = NULL)

Arguments

x

Either the name of a file to read, a text string (if length is greater than 1 elements will be joined with newlines) or an expression.

...

Arguments passed to odin_dust_options, including real_type, gpu, verbose, workdir, no_check_unused_equations and rewrite_dims.

options

An odin::odin_options or odin_dust_options object. If given it overrides arguments; if it is already a odin_dust_options object it is returned unmodified. Otherwise it is passed through to odin::odin_options where it will override arguments in ... but respond to the odin_dust specific options (real_type, etc)

Details

Note that this does not (yet) support the full odin output object, instead creating the more limited dust interface. However, for many uses this should be considerably faster than the interface that odin normally uses (built on dde).

Including custom code

When including custom C++ code you may want to set additional options in order to enable compilation. You can do this by including pseudo-attributes

  • ⁠// [[odin.dust::cpp_std(C++17)]]⁠ - use this to change the C++ standard used in compilation; this is passed to dust::dust() as the cpp_std option. It is only necessary to pass in values greater than C++11 at present as that is dust's default.

  • ⁠// [[odin.dust::linking_to(pkg)]]⁠ - use this to make include files present in an R package (e.g., BH) available. You can use as many of these attributes as you need.


Options for odin_dust

Description

Options for controlling odin_dust; this is a superset of odin::odin_options

Usage

odin_dust_options(
  ...,
  real_type = NULL,
  rng_state_type = NULL,
  gpu = NULL,
  gpu_generate = NULL,
  compiler_options = NULL,
  optimisation_level = NULL,
  options = NULL
)

Arguments

...

Arguments passed to odin::odin_options, including verbose, workdir, no_check_unused_equations and rewrite_dims.

real_type

C++ type to use for real (floating point) numbers. Defaults to double.

rng_state_type

C++ type to use for the random number generator. Defaults to ⁠dust::random::generator<real_type>⁠ which selects a generator based on your real type. The default prior to dust 0.10.0 was ⁠dust::random::xoshiro256starstar_state⁠.

gpu

Experimental! Generate support for running models on a GPU. This implies gpu_generate but does require a gpu and nvcc toolchain. Currently not supported within package code. This argument will be passed through to dust::dust() and so to enable compilation for a gpu, pass either TRUE or the results of dust::dust_cuda_options)

gpu_generate

Experimental Generate gpu support code. This does not require a gpu or nvcc toolchain, but creates code that could be compiled for a gpu. This is primarily intended for testing and development as the generated code will be slower than the normal cpu version, and the compilation time will be considerably slower. Currently not supported within package code.

compiler_options

Additional options for the C++ compiler, passed to dust::dust

optimisation_level

Shorthand control over optimisation level, passed to dust::dust. If provided should be one of none (slow running, fast building), standard or max (enables fast math)

options

An odin::odin_options or odin_dust_options object. If given it overrides arguments; if it is already a odin_dust_options object it is returned unmodified. Otherwise it is passed through to odin::odin_options where it will override arguments in ... but respond to the odin_dust specific options (real_type, etc)

Value

A list of options (class odin_options) to pass to odin.dust::odin_dust

Examples

odin.dust::odin_dust_options()

Update package code

Description

Update generated code in a package that uses odin and dust to provide a model. This will generate new dust code in inst/dust and from that generate a full model in src, and an R interface in R/dust.R, along with the cpp11 attributes that are needed to use the model.

Usage

odin_dust_package(path, options = NULL)

Arguments

path

Path to the package root (the directory that contains DESCRIPTION)

options

An odin::odin_options or odin_dust_options object. If given it overrides arguments; if it is already a odin_dust_options object it is returned unmodified. Otherwise it is passed through to odin::odin_options where it will override arguments in ... but respond to the odin_dust specific options (real_type, etc)

Value

The path to the package
