performance tuning - Efficient lazy weak compositions


In Mathematica all weak k-compositions of integer n can be generated using permutations of integer partitions:


ClearAll[weakCompositionsPermPart]
weakCompositionsPermPart[n_Integer, k_Integer?NonNegative] :=
    Join @@ Permutations /@ IntegerPartitions[n, {k}, Range[0, n]]

But since their number grow very rapidly as Binomial[n + k - 1, n] we can easily run out of memory when trying to use weak compositions of large numbers.


Problem of lack of memory could be solved if we could generate weak compositions in chunks. So here's my question.


How can we generate weak k-compositions in chunks of given length?





IntegerPartitions accepts fourth argument with standard sequence specification, using it we can get partitions in chunks. Combining this with Streaming` module we can easily create lazy integer partitions:


Needs["Streaming`"]

ClearAll[lazyIntegerPartitions]
lazyIntegerPartitions[
    n_Integer, kspec_:All, sspec_:All, chunkSize:_Integer?Positive:100000
] :=
    Module[{ctr = 0, active = False},
        Check[

            Quiet[
                IntegerPartitions[n, kspec, sspec, {1}],
                IntegerPartitions::take
            ],
            Return[$Failed, Module]
        ];
        LazyListCreate[
            IteratorCreate[
                ListIterator,
                (active = True) &,

                With[
                    {taken = 
                        Quiet[
                            IntegerPartitions[
                                n, kspec, sspec, {ctr + 1, ctr + chunkSize}
                            ],
                            IntegerPartitions::take
                        ]
                    }
                    ,

                    ctr += Length[taken];
                    taken
                ] &,
                TrueQ[active] &,
                Remove[active, ctr] &
            ],
            chunkSize
        ]
    ]


Basic usage. Lazy list of partitions of 10 to, up to 7, elements containing only 1, 3, 5 and 7, taken in chunks of length 3:


lazyIntegerPartitions[10, 7, {1, 3, 5, 7}, 3]
(* « LazyList[{7,3},{7,1,1,1},{5,5},...] » *)

Scan[Print, %]
(* {7,3}
   {7,1,1,1}
   {5,5}
   {5,3,1,1}
   {5,1,1,1,1,1}

   {3,3,3,1}
   {3,3,1,1,1,1} *)

%% // Normal
(* {{7, 3}, {7, 1, 1, 1}, {5, 5}, {5, 3, 1, 1}, {5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1},
    {3, 3, 3, 1}, {3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1}} *)

Some basic tests that whole lazy lists are the same as non-lazy lists of integer partitions:


And @@ Table[
    SameQ[

        lazyIntegerPartitions[n] // Normal, 
        IntegerPartitions[n]
    ],
    {n, 30}
]
(* True *)

And @@ Table[
    SameQ[
        lazyIntegerPartitions[n, {2, 3}] // Normal, 

        IntegerPartitions[n, {2, 3}]
    ],
    {n, 30}
]
(* True *)

And @@ Table[
    SameQ[
        lazyIntegerPartitions[n, All, {1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12}, 5] // Normal,
        IntegerPartitions[n, All, {1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12}]

    ],
    {n, 30}
]
(* True *)

Now we can map Permutations over lazy list.


lazyIntegerPartitions[5, {3}, Range[0, 5]]
(* « LazyList[{5,0,0},{4,1,0},{3,2,0},{3,1,1},{2,2,1},...] » *)

Permutations /@ %

(* « LazyList[{{5,0,0},{0,5,0},{0,0,5}},{{4,1,0},{4,0,1},{1,4,0},{1,0,4},{0,4,1},{0,1,4}},{{3,2,0},{3,0,2},{2,3,0},{2,0,3},{0,3,2},{0,2,3}},{{3,1,1},{1,3,1},{1,1,3}},{{2,2,1},{2,1,2},{1,2,2}},...] » *)

Scan[Print, %]
(* {{5,0,0},{0,5,0},{0,0,5}}
   {{4,1,0},{4,0,1},{1,4,0},{1,0,4},{0,4,1},{0,1,4}}
   {{3,2,0},{3,0,2},{2,3,0},{2,0,3},{0,3,2},{0,2,3}}
   {{3,1,1},{1,3,1},{1,1,3}}
   {{2,2,1},{2,1,2},{1,2,2}} *)

And it works, but since Permutations don't accept sequence specification as argument we must generate all permutations at once. So even if we generate integer partitions in chunks of length 1, we still need to store, at once, in memory all permutations of single partition, which quickly becomes to large to fit my memory.



For example in partitions of 12 to 17 elements:


lazyIntegerPartitions[12, {17}, Range[0, 12], 1]
(* « LazyList[{12,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},...] » *)

Although there are only 77 partitions, which we take one by one:


% // Length
(* 77 *)

One of them has 4 084 080 permutations, that need to be stored in memory at once:


Length /@ Permutations /@ %% // Max

(* 4 084 080 *)

That's why for large numbers this solution is not sufficient.

Here is slightly modified version of algorithm used in Combinatorica`NextComposition converted to a LibraryFunction.

    return LIBRARY_NO_ERROR;
}
";
CreateLibrary[%, "weakCompositions"]

ClearAll[nextWeakCompositionsChunk]

nextWeakCompositionsChunk = 
    LibraryFunctionLoad[
        %%, 
        "nextWeakCompositionsChunk",
        {Integer, Integer, {Integer, 1, "Shared"}, {Integer, 1, "Shared"}, Integer},
        {Integer, 2}
    ]

It returns chunk of weak k-compositions of n, in lexicographic order starting from composition after given one. It accepts 5 arguments: numbers n and k, list of integers representing "previous" composition, list containing one integer being index (in C sense i.e. starting from 0) of last non-zero element in "previous" composition, last argument is number of compositions in returned chunk.


Besides returning chunk of compositions nextWeakCompositionsChunk has a side effect. "Previous" composition and list containing index of last non-zero element are passed as "Shared" tensors. They are modified inside nextWeakCompositionsChunk function and they stay modified. For example get 3 weak 4-compositions of 5 starting from one after {1, 3, 0, 1}:



ClearAll[currentComposition, lastNonZeroIndex]
currentComposition = {1, 3, 0, 1} // Developer`ToPackedArray;
lastNonZeroIndex = {3} // Developer`ToPackedArray;
nextWeakCompositionsChunk[5, 4, currentComposition, lastNonZeroIndex, 3]
(* {{1, 3, 1, 0}, {1, 4, 0, 0}, {2, 0, 0, 3}} *)
currentComposition
(* {2, 0, 0, 3} *)
lastNonZeroIndex
(* {3} *)


To get first composition we need to pass a fake composition that implemented algorithm will change to the first one. This "fake one before first composition" is always of form {0, ..., 0, -1, n+1}. For example to get all 10 weak 3-compositions of 3 we use:


ClearAll[currentComposition, lastNonZeroIndex]
currentComposition = {0, -1, 4} // Developer`ToPackedArray;
lastNonZeroIndex = {2} // Developer`ToPackedArray;
nextWeakCompositionsChunk[3, 3, currentComposition, lastNonZeroIndex, 10]
(* {{0, 0, 3}, {0, 1, 2}, {0, 2, 1}, {0, 3, 0}, {1, 0, 2}, {1, 1, 1}, {1, 2, 0}, {2, 0, 1}, {2, 1, 0}, {3, 0, 0}} *)
currentComposition
(* {3, 0, 0} *)
lastNonZeroIndex
(* {0} *)


This is a "low level" function (in package it would be private) that does no tests of consistency of given arguments. It is intended to be used only through functions defined in next sections. Passing wrong arguments can result in kernel crash.



Using our low level function we can define a function that returns all weak compositions.


ClearAll[weakCompositions]
weakCompositions[n_Integer?NonNegative, 0] := {}
weakCompositions[n_Integer?NonNegative, 1] := {{n}}
weakCompositions[n_Integer?NonNegative, k_Integer /; k >= 2] :=
    nextWeakCompositionsChunk[
        n,

        k,
        Join[ConstantArray[0, k - 2], {-1, n + 1}] // Developer`ToPackedArray,
        {k - 1} // Developer`ToPackedArray,
        Binomial[n + k - 1, n]
    ]

For example get all weak 3-compositions of 2:


weakCompositions[2, 3]
(* {{0, 0, 2}, {0, 1, 1}, {0, 2, 0}, {1, 0, 1}, {1, 1, 0}, {2, 0, 0}} *)


Test that we get same output as sorted Permutations of IntegerPartitions:


And @@ Flatten @ Table[
    SameQ[
        weakCompositions[n, k],
        weakCompositionsPermPart[n, k] // Sort
    ],
    {n, 12}, {k, 12}
]
(* True *)


weakCompositions is faster and more memory efficient than combination of built-ins.


Below are some benchmarks to prove it.


Since Joining of permutations of partitions can double memory usage, and in some cases is not needed, here we use function that doesn't join them.


ClearAll[weakCompositionsPermPartNonJoined]
weakCompositionsPermPartNonJoined[n_, k_] :=
    Permutations /@ IntegerPartitions[n, {k}, Range[0, n]]

Some helper functions:


ClearAll[$functionsList, fixedNFunctionsList, fixedKFunctionsList]
$functionsList = {weakCompositionsPermPartNonJoined, weakCompositions};

fixedNFunctionsList[n_] := Function[func, func[n, #] &] /@ $functionsList
fixedKFunctionsList[k_] := Function[func, func[#, k] &] /@ $functionsList

We're benchmarking both time and memory usage using my timeAndMemoryBenchmarkPlots function.


Fixed n, variable k:


timeAndMemoryBenchmarkPlots[fixedNFunctionsList[2], Identity, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 15, 21, 29, 41, 58, 81, 114, 160, 225, 315, 442, 620, 870}, TimeConstraint -> Infinity]

timeAndMemoryBenchmarkPlots[fixedNFunctionsList[32], Identity, Range[8], TimeConstraint -> Infinity]

And now the lazy approach:


Needs["Streaming`"]


ClearAll[lazyWeakCompositions]

lazyWeakCompositions[
    n_Integer?NonNegative, 0, chunkSize : _Integer?Positive : 10^5,
    opts : OptionsPattern[]
] :=
    LazyListCreate[{}, chunkSize, opts]

    LazyListCreate[{{n}}, chunkSize, opts]

lazyWeakCompositions[

    chunkSize : _Integer?Positive : 10^5, opts : OptionsPattern[]
] :=
    With[{length = Binomial[n + k - 1, n]},
        Module[

            {
                active = False,
                compositionsLeft = length,
                prevComposition = 
                    Join[ConstantArray[0, k - 2], {-1, n + 1}] // 
                        Developer`ToPackedArray,
                lastNonZeroIndex = {k - 1} // Developer`ToPackedArray
            }
            ,
            LazyListCreate[

                IteratorCreate[
                    ListIterator,
                    (active = True) &,
                    With[{realChunkSize = Min[chunkSize, compositionsLeft]},
                        If[realChunkSize === 0,
                            {}
                        ,(* else *)
                            compositionsLeft -= realChunkSize;
                            nextWeakCompositionsChunk[
                                n, k, prevComposition, lastNonZeroIndex,

                                realChunkSize
                            ]
                        ]
                    ] &,
                    TrueQ[active] &,
                    Remove[
                        active, compositionsLeft,
                        prevComposition, lastNonZeroIndex
                    ] &
                ],

                chunkSize,
                opts,
                "Length" -> length,
                "FiniteList" -> True
            ]
        ]
    ]

Again all weak 3-compositions of 2, but this time taken in chunks of 2:


lazyWeakCompositions[2, 3, 2]

(* « LazyList[{0,0,2},{0,1,1},...] » *)
Scan[Print, %]
(* {0,0,2}
   {0,1,1}
   {0,2,0}
   {1,0,1}
   {1,1,0}
   {2,0,0} *)

Test that Normalized lazy compositions are the same as sorted Permutations of IntegerPartitions:



And @@ Flatten @ Table[
    SameQ[
        lazyWeakCompositions[n, k] // Normal,
        weakCompositionsPermPart[n, k] // Sort
    ],
    {n, 12}, {k, 12}
]
(* True *)

We will benchmark scanning of all weak compositions in three ways:





  1. All compositions generated at once:


    ClearAll[scanWeakCompositionsPermPartNonJoined]
    scanWeakCompositionsPermPartNonJoined[n_, k_] :=
        LazyListBlock@Scan[Identity, weakCompositionsPermPartNonJoined[n, k], {2}]


  2. Compositions generated by permuting lazy partitions. Partitions are taken one by one, so in single chunk we have all permutations of given partition.


    ClearAll[lazyWeakCompositionsPermPart, scanLazyWeakCompositionsPermPart]

    lazyWeakCompositionsPermPart[n_, k_] := 
        Permutations /@ lazyIntegerPartitions[n, {k}, Range[0, n], 1]

    scanLazyWeakCompositionsPermPart[n_, k_] :=
        LazyListBlock@Scan[Scan[Identity], lazyWeakCompositionsPermPart[n, k]]


  3. Compositions generated using our lazyWeakCompositions function in chunks of default length: 10^5.


    ClearAll[scanLazyWeakCompositions]
    scanLazyWeakCompositions[n_, k_, chunkSize_: 10^5] :=

        LazyListBlock@Scan[Identity, lazyWeakCompositions[n, k, chunkSize]]


Since lazy lists cache their values and benchmark measures running time multiple times, we clear cache after each usage, using LazyListBlock (as per comment by Leonid).


$functionsList = {scanWeakCompositionsPermPartNonJoined, scanLazyWeakCompositionsPermPart, scanLazyWeakCompositions};
timeAndMemoryBenchmarkPlots[fixedKFunctionsList[8], Identity, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 28, 32, 37, 42}, TimeConstraint -> Infinity, MemoryConstraint -> 2^31]
timeAndMemoryBenchmarkPlots[fixedKFunctionsList[16], Identity, Range[16], TimeConstraint -> Infinity, MemoryConstraint -> 2^31]
timeAndMemoryBenchmarkPlots[fixedKFunctionsList[32], Identity, Range[8], TimeConstraint -> Infinity, MemoryConstraint -> 2^31]

benchmarks lazyWeakCompositions fixed k



We see that speed for large values is comparable. Memory usage when generating all compositions at once grows fast. When using lazy integer partitions memory usage grows slower, but still grows with number of permutations. When using lazyWeakCompositions memory usage grows until it reaches size of one chunk, then it's (almost) constant.


For k=8 number of permutations per partition is relatively small, so scanLazyWeakCompositionsPermPart uses a lot of relatively small chunks, in tested range of n. That's why it's considerably slower and it's memory usage increases slowly with n.



For those who don't have C compiler here's version using CompiledFunction instead of LibraryFunction. It can be compiled to virtual machine. weakCompositions and lazyWeakCompositions functions work exactly as above, but are slower and less memory efficient.


ClearAll[nextWeakCompositionsChunk]
nextWeakCompositionsChunk =

            Table[

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
