In the mechanics package we generate very long mathematical expressions which we then want to evaluate numerically as fast as possible. To do this, we generate code in a low level language and typically use common subexpression elimination as a pre-compile optimization step*. I'm wondering if there are possibilities of parallelizing the evaluation of the these cse'd expressions. It seems that if the cse dependency graph was formed that you may be able to see groups of cses that could be executed in parallel. I haven't found anything online yet that shows anyone doing this or even attempting it. Either I don't have the right search terms, nobody's done it, or it isn't possible to get much (or any) gain for general expressions. Does anyone know if this is possible and, if so, is there a standard way to build the dependency graph?
* this may not gain us much, as good compilers probably do this for us, but it does have gains for higher level interpreted languages Jason moorepants.info +01 530-601-9791 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
