Several submodules in SymPy allow one to generate directly compilable and executable code in a variety of different programming languages from SymPy expressions. In addition, there are functions that generate Python importable objects that can evaluate SymPy expressions very efficiently.

We will start with a brief introduction to the components that make up the code generation capabilities of SymPy.

Introduction

There are four main levels of abstractions:

expression
   |
code printers
   |
code generators
   |
autowrap

sympy.utilities.autowrap uses codegen, and codegen uses the code printers. sympy.utilities.autowrap does everything: it lets you go from SymPy expression to numerical function in the same Python process in one step. Codegen is actual code generation, i.e., to compile and use later, or to include in some larger project.

The code printers translate the SymPy objects into actual code, like abs(x) -> fabs(x) (for C).

The code printers don’t print optimal code in many cases. An example of this is powers in C. x**2 prints as pow(x, 2) instead of x*x. Other optimizations (like mathematical simplifications) should happen before the code printers.

Currently, sympy.simplify.cse_main.cse() is not applied automatically anywhere in this chain. It ideally happens at the codegen level, or somewhere above it.

We will iterate through the levels below.

The following three lines will be used to setup each example:

>>> from sympy import *
>>> init_printing(use_unicode=True)
>>> from sympy.abc import a, e, k, n, r, t, x, y, z, T, Z
>>> from sympy.abc import beta, omega, tau
>>> f, g = symbols('f, g', cls=Function)

Code printers (sympy.printing)

This is where the meat of code generation is; the translation of SymPy actually more like a lightweight version of codegen for Python, and Python (sympy.printing.pycode.pycode()), and sympy.printing.lambdarepr.lambdarepr(), which supports many libraries (like NumPy), and Aesara (sympy.printing.aesaracode.aesara_function()). The code printers are special cases of the other prints in SymPy (str printer, pretty printer, etc.).

An important distinction is that the code printer has to deal with assignments (using the sympy.codegen.ast.Assignment object). This serves as building blocks for the code printers and hence the codegen module. An example that shows the use of Assignment in C code:

>>> from sympy.codegen.ast import Assignment
>>> print(ccode(Assignment(x, y + 1)))
x = y + 1;

Here is another simple example of printing a C version of a SymPy expression:

>>> expr = (Rational(-1, 2) * Z * k * (e**2) / r)
>>> expr
    2
-Z⋅e ⋅k
────────
  2⋅r
>>> ccode(expr)
-1.0/2.0*Z*pow(e, 2)*k/r
>>> from sympy.codegen.ast import real, float80
>>> ccode(expr, assign_to="E", type_aliases={real: float80})
E = -1.0L/2.0L*Z*powl(e, 2)*k/r;

To generate code with some math functions provided by e.g. the C99 standard we need to import functions from sympy.codegen.cfunctions:

>>> from sympy.codegen.cfunctions import expm1
>>> ccode(expm1(x), standard='C99')
expm1(x)

Piecewise expressions are converted into conditionals. If an assign_to variable is provided an if statement is created, otherwise the ternary operator is used. Note that if the Piecewise lacks a default term, represented by (expr, True) then an error will be thrown. This is to prevent generating an expression that may not evaluate to anything. A use case for Piecewise:

>>> expr = Piecewise((x + 1, x > 0), (x, True))
>>> print(fcode(expr, tau))
      if (x > 0) then
         tau = x + 1
      else
         tau = x
      end if

The various printers also tend to support Indexed objects well. With contract=True these expressions will be turned into loops, whereas contract=False will just print the assignment expression that should be looped over:

>>> len_y = 5
>>> mat_1 = IndexedBase('mat_1', shape=(len_y,))
>>> mat_2 = IndexedBase('mat_2', shape=(len_y,))
>>> Dy = IndexedBase('Dy', shape=(len_y-1,))
>>> i = Idx('i', len_y-1)
>>> eq = Eq(Dy[i], (mat_1[i+1] - mat_1[i]) / (mat_2[i+1] - mat_2[i]))
>>> print(jscode(eq.rhs, assign_to=eq.lhs, contract=False))
Dy[i] = (mat_1[i + 1] - mat_1[i])/(mat_2[i + 1] - mat_2[i]);
>>> Res = IndexedBase('Res', shape=(len_y,))
>>> j = Idx('j', len_y)
>>> eq = Eq(Res[j], mat_1[j]*mat_2[j])
>>> print(jscode(eq.rhs, assign_to=eq.lhs, contract=True))
for (var j=0; j<5; j++){
   Res[j] = 0;
}
for (var j=0; j<5; j++){
   for (var j=0; j<5; j++){
      Res[j] = Res[j] + mat_1[j]*mat_2[j];
   }
}
>>> print(jscode(eq.rhs, assign_to=eq.lhs, contract=False))
Res[j] = mat_1[j]*mat_2[j];

Custom printing can be defined for certain types by passing a dictionary of “type” : “function” to the user_functions kwarg. Alternatively, the dictionary value can be a list of tuples i.e., [(argument_test, cfunction_string)]. This can be used to call a custom Octave function:

>>> custom_functions = {
...   "f": "existing_octave_fcn",
...   "g": [(lambda x: x.is_Matrix, "my_mat_fcn"),
...         (lambda x: not x.is_Matrix, "my_fcn")]
... }
>>> mat = Matrix([[1, x]])
>>> octave_code(f(x) + g(x) + g(mat), user_functions=custom_functions)
existing_octave_fcn(x) + my_fcn(x) + my_mat_fcn([1 x])

An example of Mathematica code printer:

>>> x_ = Function('x')
>>> expr = x_(n*T) * sin((t - n*T) / T)
>>> expr = expr / ((-T*n + t) / T)
>>> expr
            ⎛-T⋅n + t⎞
T⋅x(T⋅n)⋅sin⎜────────⎟
            ⎝   T    ⎠
──────────────────────
       -T⋅n + t

>>> expr = summation(expr, (n, -1, 1))
>>> mathematica_code(expr)
T*(x[-T]*Sin[(T + t)/T]/(T + t) + x[T]*Sin[(-T + t)/T]/(-T + t) + x[0]*Sin[t/T
]/t)

We can go through a common expression in different languages we support and see how it works:

>>> k, g1, g2, r, I, S = symbols("k, gamma_1, gamma_2, r, I, S")
>>> expr = k * g1 * g2 / (r**3)
>>> expr = expr * 2 * I * S * (3 * (cos(beta))**2 - 1) / 2
>>> expr
            ⎛     2       ⎞
I⋅S⋅γ₁⋅γ₂⋅k⋅⎝3⋅cos (β) - 1⎠
───────────────────────────
              3
             r
>>> print(jscode(expr, assign_to="H_is"))
H_is = I*S*gamma_1*gamma_2*k*(3*Math.pow(Math.cos(beta), 2) - 1)/Math.pow(r, 3);
>>> print(ccode(expr, assign_to="H_is", standard='C89'))
H_is = I*S*gamma_1*gamma_2*k*(3*pow(cos(beta), 2) - 1)/pow(r, 3);
>>> print(fcode(expr, assign_to="H_is"))
      H_is = I*S*gamma_1*gamma_2*k*(3*cos(beta)**2 - 1)/r**3
>>> print(julia_code(expr, assign_to="H_is"))
H_is = I.*S.*gamma_1.*gamma_2.*k.*(3*cos(beta).^2 - 1)./r.^3
>>> print(octave_code(expr, assign_to="H_is"))
H_is = I.*S.*gamma_1.*gamma_2.*k.*(3*cos(beta).^2 - 1)./r.^3;
>>> print(rust_code(expr, assign_to="H_is"))
H_is = I*S*gamma_1*gamma_2*k*(3*beta.cos().powi(2) - 1)/r.powi(3);
>>> print(mathematica_code(expr))
I*S*gamma_1*gamma_2*k*(3*Cos[beta]^2 - 1)/r^3

Codegen (sympy.utilities.codegen)

This module deals with creating compilable code from SymPy expressions. This is lower level than autowrap, as it doesn’t actually attempt to compile the code, but higher level than the printers, as it generates compilable files (including header files), rather than just code snippets.

The user friendly functions, here, are codegen and make_routine. codegen takes a list of (variable, expression) pairs and a language (C, F95, and Octave/Matlab are supported). It returns, as strings, a code file and a header file (for relevant languages). The variables are created as functions that return the value of the expression as output.

Note

The codegen callable is not in the sympy namespace automatically, to use it you must first import codegen from sympy.utilities.codegen

For instance:

>>> from sympy.utilities.codegen import codegen
>>> length, breadth, height = symbols('length, breadth, height')
>>> [(c_name, c_code), (h_name, c_header)] = \
... codegen(('volume', length*breadth*height), "C99", "test",
...         header=False, empty=False)
>>> print(c_name)
test.c
>>> print(c_code)
#include "test.h"
#include <math.h>
double volume(double breadth, double height, double length) {
   double volume_result;
   volume_result = breadth*height*length;
   return volume_result;
}
>>> print(h_name)
test.h
>>> print(c_header)
#ifndef PROJECT__TEST__H
#define PROJECT__TEST__H
double volume(double breadth, double height, double length);
#endif

Various flags to codegen let you modify things. The project name for preprocessor instructions can be varied using project. Variables listed as global variables in arg global_vars will not show up as function arguments.

language is a case-insensitive string that indicates the source code language. Currently, C, F95 and Octave are supported. Octave generates code compatible with both Octave and Matlab.

header when True, a header is written on top of each source file. empty when True, empty lines are used to structure the code. With argument_sequence a sequence of arguments for the routine can be defined in a preferred order.

prefix defines a prefix for the names of the files that contain the source code. If omitted, the name of the first name_expr tuple is used.

to_files when True, the code will be written to one or more files with the given prefix.

Here is an example:

>>> [(f_name, f_code), header] = codegen(("volume", length*breadth*height),
...     "F95", header=False, empty=False, argument_sequence=(breadth, length),
...     global_vars=(height,))
>>> print(f_code)
REAL*8 function volume(breadth, length)
implicit none
REAL*8, intent(in) :: breadth
REAL*8, intent(in) :: length
volume = breadth*height*length
end function

The method make_routine creates a Routine object, which represents an evaluation routine for a set of expressions. This is only good for internal use by the CodeGen objects, as an intermediate representation from SymPy expression to generated code. It is not recommended to make a Routine object yourself. You should instead use make_routine method. make_routine in turn calls the routine method of the CodeGen object depending upon the language of choice. This creates the internal objects representing assignments and so on, and creates the Routine class with them.

The various codegen objects such as Routine and Variable aren’t SymPy objects (they don’t subclass from Basic).

For example:

>>> from sympy.utilities.codegen import make_routine
>>> from sympy.physics.hydrogen import R_nl
>>> expr = R_nl(3, y, x, 6)
>>> routine = make_routine('my_routine', expr)
>>> [arg.result_var for arg in routine.results]   
[result₅₁₄₂₃₄₁₆₈₁₃₉₇₇₁₉₄₂₈]
>>> [arg.expr for arg in routine.results]
⎡                __________                                          ⎤
⎢          y    ╱ (2 - y)!   -2⋅x                                    ⎥
⎢4⋅√6⋅(4⋅x) ⋅  ╱  ──────── ⋅ℯ    ⋅assoc_laguerre(2 - y, 2⋅y + 1, 4⋅x)⎥
⎢            ╲╱   (y + 3)!                                           ⎥
⎢────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────⎥
⎣                                 3                                  ⎦
>>> [arg.name for arg in routine.arguments]
[x, y]

Another more complicated example with a mixture of specified and automatically-assigned names. Also has Matrix output:

>>> routine = make_routine('fcn', [x*y, Eq(a, 1), Eq(r, x + r), Matrix([[x, 2]])])
>>> [arg.result_var for arg in routine.results]   
[result_5397460570204848505]
>>> [arg.expr for arg in routine.results]
[x⋅y]
>>> [arg.name for arg in routine.arguments]   
[x, y, a, r, out_8598435338387848786]

We can examine the various arguments more closely:

>>> from sympy.utilities.codegen import (InputArgument, OutputArgument,
...                                      InOutArgument)
>>> [a.name for a in routine.arguments if isinstance(a, InputArgument)]
[x, y]

>>> [a.name for a in routine.arguments if isinstance(a, OutputArgument)]  
[a, out_8598435338387848786]
>>> [a.expr for a in routine.arguments if isinstance(a, OutputArgument)]
[1, [x  2]]

>>> [a.name for a in routine.arguments if isinstance(a, InOutArgument)]
[r]
>>> [a.expr for a in routine.arguments if isinstance(a, InOutArgument)]
[r + x]

Autowrap

Autowrap automatically generates code, writes it to disk, compiles it, and imports it into the current session. Main functions of this module are autowrap, binary_function, and ufuncify.

It also automatically converts expressions containing Indexed objects into summations. The classes IndexedBase, Indexed and Idx represent a matrix element M[i, j]. See Tensor for more on this.

autowrap creates a wrapper using f2py or Cython and creates a numerical function.

Note

The autowrap callable is not in the sympy namespace automatically, to use it you must first import autowrap from sympy.utilities.autowrap

The callable returned from autowrap() is a binary Python function, not a SymPy object. For example:

>>> from sympy.utilities.autowrap import autowrap
>>> expr = ((x - y + z)**(13)).expand()
>>> binary_func = autowrap(expr)    
>>> binary_func(1, 4, 2)    
-1.0

The various flags available with autowrap() help to modify the services provided by the method. The argument tempdir tells autowrap to compile the code in a specific directory, and leave the files intact when finished. For instance:

>>> from sympy.utilities.autowrap import autowrap
>>> from sympy.physics.qho_1d import psi_n
>>> x_ = IndexedBase('x')
>>> y_ = IndexedBase('y')
>>> m = symbols('m', integer=True)
>>> i = Idx('i', m)
>>> qho = autowrap(Eq(y_[i], psi_n(0, x_[i], m, omega)), tempdir='/tmp')  

Checking the Fortran source code in the directory specified reveals this:

subroutine autofunc(m, omega, x, y)
implicit none
INTEGER*4, intent(in) :: m
REAL*8, intent(in) :: omega
REAL*8, intent(in), dimension(1:m) :: x
REAL*8, intent(out), dimension(1:m) :: y
INTEGER*4 :: i

REAL*8, parameter :: hbar = 1.05457162d-34
REAL*8, parameter :: pi = 3.14159265358979d0
do i = 1, m
   y(i) = (m*omega)**(1.0d0/4.0d0)*exp(-4.74126166983329d+33*m*omega*x(i &
         )**2)/(hbar**(1.0d0/4.0d0)*pi**(1.0d0/4.0d0))
end do

end subroutine

Using the argument args along with it changes argument sequence:

>>> eq = Eq(y_[i], psi_n(0, x_[i], m, omega))
>>> qho = autowrap(eq, tempdir='/tmp', args=[y, x, m, omega])  

yields:

subroutine autofunc(y, x, m, omega)
implicit none
INTEGER*4, intent(in) :: m
REAL*8, intent(in) :: omega
REAL*8, intent(out), dimension(1:m) :: y
REAL*8, intent(in), dimension(1:m) :: x
INTEGER*4 :: i

REAL*8, parameter :: hbar = 1.05457162d-34
REAL*8, parameter :: pi = 3.14159265358979d0
do i = 1, m
   y(i) = (m*omega)**(1.0d0/4.0d0)*exp(-4.74126166983329d+33*m*omega*x(i &
         )**2)/(hbar**(1.0d0/4.0d0)*pi**(1.0d0/4.0d0))
end do

end subroutine

The argument verbose is boolean, optional and if True, autowrap will not mute the command line backends. This can be helpful for debugging.

The argument language and backend are used to change defaults: Fortran and f2py to C and Cython. The argument helpers is used to define auxiliary expressions needed for the main expression. If the main expression needs to call a specialized function it should be put in the helpers iterable. Autowrap will then make sure that the compiled main expression can link to the helper routine. Items should be tuples with (<function_name>, <sympy_expression>, <arguments>). It is mandatory to supply an argument sequence to helper routines.

Another method available at the autowrap level is binary_function. It returns a sympy function. The advantage is that we can have very fast functions as compared to SymPy speeds. This is because we will be using compiled functions with SymPy attributes and methods. An illustration:

>>> from sympy.utilities.autowrap import binary_function
>>> from sympy.physics.hydrogen import R_nl
>>> psi_nl = R_nl(1, 0, a, r)
>>> f = binary_function('f', psi_nl)    
>>> f(a, r).evalf(3, subs={a: 1, r: 2})  
0.766

While NumPy operations are very efficient for vectorized data but they sometimes incur unnecessary costs when chained together. Consider the following operation

>>> x = get_numpy_array(...) 
>>> y = sin(x) / x

The operators sin and / call routines that execute tight for loops in C. The resulting computation looks something like this

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
    temp[i] = sin(x[i]);
}
for(int i = i; i < n; i++)
{
    y[i] = temp[i] / x[i];
}

This is slightly sub-optimal because

We allocate an extra temp array
We walk over x memory twice when once would have been sufficient

A better solution would fuse both element-wise operations into a single for loop

for(int i = i; i < n; i++)
{
    y[i] = sin(x[i]) / x[i];
}

Statically compiled projects like NumPy are unable to take advantage of such optimizations. Fortunately, SymPy is able to generate efficient low-level C or Fortran code. It can then depend on projects like Cython or f2py to compile and reconnect that code back up to Python. Fortunately this process is well automated and a SymPy user wishing to make use of this code generation should call the ufuncify function.

ufuncify is the third method available with Autowrap module. It basically implies ‘Universal functions’ and follows an ideology set by NumPy. The main point of ufuncify as compared to autowrap is that it allows arrays as arguments and can operate in an element-by-element fashion. The core operation done element-wise is in accordance to Numpy’s array broadcasting rules. See this for more.

>>> from sympy import *
>>> from sympy.abc import x
>>> expr = sin(x)/x

>>> from sympy.utilities.autowrap import ufuncify
>>> f = ufuncify([x], expr) 

This function f consumes and returns a NumPy array. Generally ufuncify performs at least as well as lambdify. If the expression is complicated then ufuncify often significantly outperforms the NumPy backed solution. Jensen has a good blog post on this topic.

Let us see an example for some quantitative analysis:

>>> from sympy.physics.hydrogen import R_nl
>>> expr = R_nl(3, 1, x, 6)
>>> expr
               -2⋅x
8⋅x⋅(4 - 4⋅x)⋅ℯ
───────────────────
         3

The lambdify function translates SymPy expressions into Python functions, leveraging a variety of numerical libraries. By default lambdify relies on implementations in the math standard library. Naturally, Raw Python is faster than SymPy. However it also supports mpmath and most notably, numpy. Using the NumPy library gives the generated function access to powerful vectorized ufuncs that are backed by compiled C code.

Let us compare the speeds:

>>> from sympy.utilities.autowrap import ufuncify
>>> from sympy.utilities.lambdify import lambdify
>>> fn_numpy = lambdify(x, expr, 'numpy')   
>>> fn_fortran = ufuncify([x], expr, backend='f2py')    
>>> from numpy import linspace  
>>> xx = linspace(0, 1, 5)  
>>> fn_numpy(xx)    
[ 0.          1.21306132  0.98101184  0.44626032  0.        ]
>>> fn_fortran(xx)  
[ 0.          1.21306132  0.98101184  0.44626032  0.        ]
>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.timeit('fn_numpy(xx)', 'from __main__ import fn_numpy, xx', number=10000)    
0.18891601900395472
>>> timeit.timeit('fn_fortran(xx)', 'from __main__ import fn_fortran, xx', number=10000)    
0.004707066000264604

The options available with ufuncify are more or less the same as those available with autowrap.

There are other facilities available with SymPy to do efficient numeric computation. See this page for a comparison among them.

Classes and functions for rewriting expressions (sympy.codegen.rewriting)

Classes and functions useful for rewriting expressions for optimized code generation. Some languages (or standards thereof), e.g. C99, offer specialized math functions for better performance and/or precision.

Using the optimize function in this module, together with a collection of rules (represented as instances of Optimization), one can rewrite the expressions for this purpose:

>>> from sympy import Symbol, exp, log
>>> from sympy.codegen.rewriting import optimize, optims_c99
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> optimize(3*exp(2*x) - 3, optims_c99)
3*expm1(2*x)
>>> optimize(exp(2*x) - 1 - exp(-33), optims_c99)
expm1(2*x) - exp(-33)
>>> optimize(log(3*x + 3), optims_c99)
log1p(x) + log(3)
>>> optimize(log(2*x + 3), optims_c99)
log(2*x + 3)

The optims_c99 imported above is tuple containing the following instances (which may be imported from sympy.codegen.rewriting):

expm1_opt
log1p_opt
exp2_opt
log2_opt
log2const_opt

class sympy.codegen.rewriting.FuncMinusOneOptim(func, func_m_1, opportunistic=True)[source]

Specialization of ReplaceOptim for functions evaluating “f(x) - 1”.

Parameters

func :

The function which is subtracted by one.

func_m_1 :

The specialized function evaluating func(x) - 1.

opportunistic : bool

When True, apply the transformation as long as the magnitude of the remaining number terms decreases. When False, only apply the transformation if it completely eliminates the number term.

Explanation

Numerical functions which go toward one as x go toward zero is often best implemented by a dedicated function in order to avoid catastrophic cancellation. One such example is expm1(x) in the C standard library which evaluates exp(x) - 1. Such functions preserves many more significant digits when its argument is much smaller than one, compared to subtracting one afterwards.

Examples

>>> from sympy import symbols, exp
>>> from sympy.codegen.rewriting import FuncMinusOneOptim
>>> from sympy.codegen.cfunctions import expm1
>>> x, y = symbols('x y')
>>> expm1_opt = FuncMinusOneOptim(exp, expm1)
>>> expm1_opt(exp(x) + 2*exp(5*y) - 3)
expm1(x) + 2*expm1(5*y)

replace_in_Add(e)[source]: passed as second argument to Basic.replace(…)

class sympy.codegen.rewriting.Optimization(cost_function=None, priority=1)[source]

Abstract base class for rewriting optimization.

Subclasses should implement __call__ taking an expression as argument.

Parameters

cost_function : callable returning number

priority : number

class sympy.codegen.rewriting.ReplaceOptim(query, value, **kwargs)[source]

Rewriting optimization calling replace on expressions.

Parameters

query :

First argument passed to replace.

value :

Second argument passed to replace.

Explanation

The instance can be used as a function on expressions for which it will apply the replace method (see sympy.core.basic.Basic.replace()).

Examples

>>> from sympy import Symbol
>>> from sympy.codegen.rewriting import ReplaceOptim
>>> from sympy.codegen.cfunctions import exp2
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> exp2_opt = ReplaceOptim(lambda p: p.is_Pow and p.base == 2,
...     lambda p: exp2(p.exp))
>>> exp2_opt(2**x)
exp2(x)

sympy.codegen.rewriting.create_expand_pow_optimization(limit, *, base_req=<function <lambda>>)[source]

Creates an instance of ReplaceOptim for expanding Pow.

Parameters

limit : int

The highest power which is expanded into multiplication.

base_req : function returning bool

Requirement on base for expansion to happen, default is to return the is_symbol attribute of the base.

Explanation

The requirements for expansions are that the base needs to be a symbol and the exponent needs to be an Integer (and be less than or equal to limit).

Examples

>>> from sympy import Symbol, sin
>>> from sympy.codegen.rewriting import create_expand_pow_optimization
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> expand_opt = create_expand_pow_optimization(3)
>>> expand_opt(x**5 + x**3)
x**5 + x*x*x
>>> expand_opt(x**5 + x**3 + sin(x)**3)
x**5 + sin(x)**3 + x*x*x
>>> opt2 = create_expand_pow_optimization(3, base_req=lambda b: not b.is_Function)
>>> opt2((x+1)**2 + sin(x)**2)
sin(x)**2 + (x + 1)*(x + 1)

sympy.codegen.rewriting.optimize(expr, optimizations)[source]

Apply optimizations to an expression.

Parameters

expr : expression

optimizations : iterable of Optimization instances

The optimizations will be sorted with respect to priority (highest first).

Examples

>>> from sympy import log, Symbol
>>> from sympy.codegen.rewriting import optims_c99, optimize
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> optimize(log(x+3)/log(2) + log(x**2 + 1), optims_c99)

Additional AST nodes for operations on matrices. The nodes in this module are meant to represent optimization of matrix expressions within codegen’s target languages that cannot be represented by SymPy expressions.

As an example, we can use sympy.codegen.rewriting.optimize() and the matin_opt optimization provided in sympy.codegen.rewriting to transform matrix multiplication under certain assumptions:

>>> from sympy import symbols, MatrixSymbol
>>> n = symbols('n', integer=True)
>>> A = MatrixSymbol('A', n, n)
>>> x = MatrixSymbol('x', n, 1)
>>> expr = A**(-1) * x
>>> from sympy import assuming, Q
>>> from sympy.codegen.rewriting import matinv_opt, optimize
>>> with assuming(Q.fullrank(A)):
...     optimize(expr, [matinv_opt])
MatrixSolve(A, vector=x)

class sympy.codegen.matrix_nodes.MatrixSolve(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Represents an operation to solve a linear matrix equation.

Parameters

matrix : MatrixSymbol

Matrix representing the coefficients of variables in the linear equation. This matrix must be square and full-rank (i.e. all columns must be linearly independent) for the solving operation to be valid.

vector : MatrixSymbol

One-column matrix representing the solutions to the equations represented in matrix.

Examples

>>> from sympy import symbols, MatrixSymbol
>>> from sympy.codegen.matrix_nodes import MatrixSolve
>>> n = symbols('n', integer=True)
>>> A = MatrixSymbol('A', n, n)
>>> x = MatrixSymbol('x', n, 1)
>>> from sympy.printing.numpy import NumPyPrinter

Tools for simplifying expressions using approximations (sympy.codegen.approximations)

class sympy.codegen.approximations.SeriesApprox(bounds, reltol, max_order=4, n_point_checks=4, **kwargs)[source]

Approximates functions by expanding them as a series.

Parameters

bounds : dict

Mapping expressions to length 2 tuple of bounds (low, high).

reltol : number

Threshold for when to ignore a term. Taken relative to the largest lower bound among bounds.

max_order : int

Largest order to include in series expansion

n_point_checks : int (even)

The validity of an expansion (with respect to reltol) is checked at discrete points (linearly spaced over the bounds of the variable). The number of points used in this numerical check is given by this number.

Examples

>>> from sympy import sin, pi
>>> from sympy.abc import x, y
>>> from sympy.codegen.rewriting import optimize
>>> from sympy.codegen.approximations import SeriesApprox
>>> bounds = {x: (-.1, .1), y: (pi-1, pi+1)}
>>> series_approx2 = SeriesApprox(bounds, reltol=1e-2)
>>> series_approx3 = SeriesApprox(bounds, reltol=1e-3)
>>> series_approx8 = SeriesApprox(bounds, reltol=1e-8)
>>> expr = sin(x)*sin(y)
>>> optimize(expr, [series_approx2])
x*(-y + (y - pi)**3/6 + pi)
>>> optimize(expr, [series_approx3])
(-x**3/6 + x)*sin(y)
>>> optimize(expr, [series_approx8])
sin(x)*sin(y)

class sympy.codegen.approximations.SumApprox(bounds, reltol, **kwargs)[source]

Approximates sum by neglecting small terms.

Parameters

bounds : dict

Mapping expressions to length 2 tuple of bounds (low, high).

reltol : number

Threshold for when to ignore a term. Taken relative to the largest lower bound among bounds.

Explanation

If terms are expressions which can be determined to be monotonic, then bounds for those expressions are added.

Examples

>>> from sympy import exp
>>> from sympy.abc import x, y, z
>>> from sympy.codegen.rewriting import optimize
>>> from sympy.codegen.approximations import SumApprox
>>> bounds = {x: (-1, 1), y: (1000, 2000), z: (-10, 3)}
>>> sum_approx3 = SumApprox(bounds, reltol=1e-3)
>>> sum_approx2 = SumApprox(bounds, reltol=1e-2)
>>> sum_approx1 = SumApprox(bounds, reltol=1e-1)
>>> expr = 3*(x + y + exp(z))
>>> optimize(expr, [sum_approx3])
3*(x + y + exp(z))
>>> optimize(expr, [sum_approx2])
3*y + 3*exp(z)
>>> optimize(expr, [sum_approx1])
3*y

Predefined types

A number of Type instances are provided in the sympy.codegen.ast module for convenience. Perhaps the two most common ones for code-generation (of numeric codes) are float32 and float64 (known as single and double precision respectively). There are also precision generic versions of Types (for which the codeprinters selects the underlying data type at time of printing): real, integer, complex_, bool_.

The other Type instances defined are:

intc: Integer type used by C’s “int”.
intp: Integer type used by C’s “unsigned”.
int8, int16, int32, int64: n-bit integers.
uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64: n-bit unsigned integers.
float80: known as “extended precision” on modern x86/amd64 hardware.
complex64: Complex number represented by two float32 numbers
complex128: Complex number represented by two float64 numbers

Using the nodes

It is possible to construct simple algorithms using the AST nodes. Let’s construct a loop applying Newton’s method:

>>> from sympy import symbols, cos
>>> from sympy.codegen.ast import While, Assignment, aug_assign, Print
>>> t, dx, x = symbols('tol delta val')
>>> expr = cos(x) - x**3
>>> whl = While(abs(dx) > t, [
...     Assignment(dx, -expr/expr.diff(x)),
...     aug_assign(x, '+', dx),
...     Print([x])
... ])
>>> from sympy import pycode
>>> py_str = pycode(whl)
>>> print(py_str)
while (abs(delta) > tol):
    delta = (val**3 - math.cos(val))/(-3*val**2 - math.sin(val))
    val += delta
    print(val)
>>> import math
>>> tol, val, delta = 1e-5, 0.5, float('inf')
>>> exec(py_str)
1.1121416371
0.909672693737
0.867263818209
0.865477135298
0.865474033111
>>> print('%3.1g' % (math.cos(val) - val**3))
-3e-11

If we want to generate Fortran code for the same while loop we simple call fcode:

>>> from sympy import fcode
>>> print(fcode(whl, standard=2003, source_format='free'))
do while (abs(delta) > tol)
   delta = (val**3 - cos(val))/(-3*val**2 - sin(val))
   val = val + delta
   print *, val
end do

There is a function constructing a loop (or a complete function) like this in sympy.codegen.algorithms.

Explanation

The naming is a super-set of NumPy naming. Type has a classmethod from_expr which offer type deduction. It also has a method cast_check which casts the argument to its type, possibly raising an exception if rounding error is not within tolerances, or if the value is not representable by the underlying data type (e.g. unsigned integers).

Examples

>>> from sympy.codegen.ast import Type
>>> t = Type.from_expr(42)
>>> t
integer
>>> print(repr(t))
IntBaseType(String('integer'))
>>> from sympy.codegen.ast import uint8
>>> uint8.cast_check(-1)   
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
ValueError: Minimum value for data type bigger than new value.
>>> from sympy.codegen.ast import float32
>>> v6 = 0.123456
>>> float32.cast_check(v6)
0.123456
>>> v10 = 12345.67894
>>> float32.cast_check(v10)  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
ValueError: Casting gives a significantly different value.
>>> boost_mp50 = Type('boost::multiprecision::cpp_dec_float_50')
>>> from sympy import cxxcode
>>> from sympy.codegen.ast import Declaration, Variable
>>> cxxcode(Declaration(Variable('x', type=boost_mp50)))
'boost::multiprecision::cpp_dec_float_50 x'

When passed an iterable it is used to instantiate a CodeBlock.

Examples

>>> from sympy import symbols, Gt, Abs
>>> from sympy.codegen import aug_assign, Assignment, While
>>> x, dx = symbols('x dx')
>>> expr = 1 - x**2
>>> whl = While(Gt(Abs(dx), 1e-9), [
...     Assignment(dx, -expr/expr.diff(x)),
...     aug_assign(x, '+', dx)
... ])

sympy.codegen.ast.aug_assign(lhs, op, rhs)[source]

Create ‘lhs op= rhs’.

Parameters

lhs : Expr

SymPy object representing the lhs of the expression. These should be singular objects, such as one would use in writing code. Notable types include Symbol, MatrixSymbol, MatrixElement, and Indexed. Types that subclass these types are also supported.

op : str

Examples

>>> from sympy import symbols
>>> from sympy.codegen.ast import aug_assign

sympy.codegen.algorithms.newtons_method_function(expr, wrt, params=None, func_name='newton', attrs=(), *, delta=None, **kwargs)[source]

Generates an AST for a function implementing the Newton-Raphson method.

Parameters

expr : expression

wrt : Symbol

With respect to, i.e. what is the variable

params : iterable of symbols

Symbols appearing in expr that are taken as constants during the iterations (these will be accepted as parameters to the generated function).

func_name : str

Name of the generated function.

attrs : Tuple

Attribute instances passed as attrs to FunctionDefinition.

**kwargs :

Keyword arguments passed to sympy.codegen.algorithms.newtons_method().

Examples

>>> from sympy import symbols, cos
>>> from sympy.codegen.algorithms import newtons_method_function
>>> from sympy.codegen.pyutils import render_as_module
>>> x = symbols('x')
>>> expr = cos(x) - x**3
>>> func = newtons_method_function(expr, x)
>>> py_mod = render_as_module(func)  # source code as string
>>> namespace = {}
>>> exec(py_mod, namespace, namespace)
>>> res = eval('newton(0.5)', namespace)
>>> abs(res - 0.865474033102) < 1e-12
True

sympy.codegen.pyutils.render_as_module(content, standard='python3')[source]

Renders Python code as a module (with the required imports).

Parameters: standard :

See the parameter standard in sympy.printing.pycode.pycode()

C utilities (sympy.codegen.cutils)

sympy.codegen.cutils.render_as_source_file(content, Printer=<class 'sympy.printing.c.C99CodePrinter'>, settings=None)[source]: Renders a C source file (with required #include statements)

Fortran utilities (sympy.codegen.futils)

sympy.codegen.futils.render_as_module(definitions, name, declarations=(), printer_settings=None)[source]

Creates a Module instance and renders it as a string.

This generates Fortran source code for a module with the correct use statements.

Parameters

definitions : iterable

Passed to sympy.codegen.fnodes.Module.

name : str

Passed to sympy.codegen.fnodes.Module.

declarations : iterable

Passed to sympy.codegen.fnodes.Module. It will be extended with use statements, ‘implicit none’ and public list generated from definitions.

printer_settings : dict

Passed to FCodePrinter (default: {'standard': 2003, 'source_format': 'free'}).
