Phylanx Report: December 2018

The sixteenth month of work focused on work in the following areas:

  • Added 3D tensor support to node_data
  • Implementing primitives needed for Keras backend (Issue: #684)
  • Modularize Traveler to better support multiple platforms

Organizational Activities and Results

Development Activities and Results

  • Algorithms Highlighted: Logistic Regression, ALS, K-Means
  • General
    • Added 3d tensor support to node_data
    • Fixed issues with returns from inner functions
    • Added support for inf, nan, nzero, pzero, e, pi, and euler_gamma to the compiler
    • Created a statistics plugin
    • Work on improving HPX scheduling and tasking
  • APEX
    • Working on buildbot issues
    • Fixing APEX policy engine to unload converged policies
  • Traveler
    • Design/architecture for modular visualization to more cleanly
      support multiple platforms (e.g., stand-alone, Jupyter)

      • Implementation in progress.
    • Fixes for Docker/Jupyter support
  • Tiling
    • Incorporated additional program structures into theoretical formulation
      • Includes conditionals, loops and parallel code execution etc
    • Analyzing requirements of a distributed tiling implementation
  • Primitives & Algorithms
    • Added eye, flatten, softmax, reshape, prod, tile, max, min, and flip primitives
      • Supports primitives needed for a Keras backend (Issue: #684)
    • Improvements to squeeze, extract_shape, generic operations primitives, and reshpae primitives
      • Added sinh, cosh, and tanh to generic operations primitive
    • Added support for Sphinx documentation
  • Python
    • Enabled the dynamic configuration of HPX from the Python front-end
    • Working on new data structures to represent a Phylanx AST
