Carousel 0.3.2

Requirements

• Pint

• NumPy

• h5py

• xlrd

• UncertaintyWrapper

Installation

Carousel releases are on PyPI and on GitHub. You can use either pip, conda, or distutils to install Carousel.

pip

$ pip install Carousel

Extract the archive to use disutils

$ python setup.py install

SunPower conda channel

$ conda install -c sunpower Carousel

Documentation

Carousel documentation is online. It’s also included in the distribution and can be built using Sphinx by running the Makefile found in the docs folder of the Carousel package. Once built documentation will be found in the _build folder under the tree corresponding to the type of documentation built. EG: HTML documentation is in docs/_build/html.

Contributions

Carousel source code is online. Fork it and report issues, make suggestions or create pull requests. Discuss the roadmap or download presentations on the wiki

History

The change log for all releases is on GitHub.

Quickstart Example

Define data, outputs, formulas, calculations, simulations and model:

#! python

from carousel.core.data_sources import DataSource, DataParameter
from carousel.core.outputs import Output, OutputParameter
from carousel.core.formulas import Formula, FormulaParameter
from carousel.core.calculations import Calc, CalcParameter
from carousel.core.simulations import Simulation, SimParameter
from carousel.core.models import Model, ModelParameter
from carousel.contrib.readers import ArgumentReader
from carousel.core import UREG
import numpy as np
import os

DATA = {'PythagoreanData': {'adjacent_side': 3.0, 'opposite_side': 4.0}}


class PythagoreanData(DataSource):
    adjacent_side = DataParameter(units='cm', uncertainty=1.0)
    opposite_side = DataParameter(units='cm', uncertainty=1.0)

    def __prepare_data__(self):
        for k, v in self.parameters.iteritems():
            self.uncertainty[k] = {k: v['uncertainty'] * UREG.percent}

    class Meta:
        data_cache_enabled = False
        data_reader = ArgumentReader


class PythagoreanOutput(Output):
    hypotenuse = OutputParameter(units='cm')


def f_pythagorean(a, b):
    a, b = np.atleast_1d(a), np.atleast_1d(b)
    return np.sqrt(a * a + b * b).reshape(1, -1)


class PythagoreanFormula(Formula):
    f_pythagorean = FormulaParameter(
        units=[('=A', ), ('=A', '=A')],
        isconstant=[]
    )

    class Meta:
        module = __name__


class PythagoreanCalc(Calc):
    pythagorean_thm = CalcParameter(
        formula='f_pythagorean',
        args={'data': {'a': 'adjacent_side', 'b': 'opposite_side'}},
        returns=['hypotenuse']
    )


class PythagoreanSim(Simulation):
    settings = SimParameter(
        ID='Pythagorean Theorem',
        commands=['start', 'load', 'run'],
        sim_length=[0, 'hour'],
        write_fields={
            'data': ['adjacent_side', 'opposite_side'],
            'outputs': ['hypotenuse']
        }
    )


class PythagoreanModel(Model):
    data = ModelParameter(sources=[PythagoreanData])
    outputs = ModelParameter(sources=[PythagoreanOutput])
    formulas = ModelParameter(sources=[PythagoreanFormula])
    calculations = ModelParameter(sources=[PythagoreanCalc])
    simulations = ModelParameter(sources=[PythagoreanSim])

    class Meta:
        modelpath = os.path.dirname(__file__)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    m = PythagoreanModel()
    m.command('run', data=DATA)
    out_reg = m.registries['outputs']
    fmt = {
        'output': out_reg['hypotenuse'],
        'uncertainty': out_reg.uncertainty['hypotenuse']['hypotenuse']
    }
    print 'hypotenuse = %(output)s +/- %(uncertainty)s' % fmt

This is the MCVE of a Carousel model.
