GenJAX v1.0.5 - POPL 2026 Canonical Artifact
GenJAX v1.0.5 - POPL 2026 Canonical Artifact
This is the canonical version for POPL 2026 artifact evaluation.
About GenJAX
GenJAX is a probabilistic programming language (PPL) designed around programmable inference - automation that allows users to express and customize Bayesian inference algorithms.
What's Included
- Complete GenJAX implementation with source code and comprehensive tests
- Four case studies from the empirical evaluation:
- Fair Coin (Beta-Bernoulli conjugate inference) → Figure 16 (a)
- Curve Fitting with Outlier Detection → Figures 4, 5, 6
- Game of Life Inverse Dynamics → Figure 18
- Robot Localization with SMC → Figure 19
Reproducing Paper Figures
pixi install
pixi run paper-figures # CPU execution (~4 minutes on Apple M4)
pixi run paper-figures-gpu # GPU execution (requires CUDA 12)Note: Multi-system benchmarking figure (Fig 16, b) code is in git history but requires complex deployment setup.
Changes in v1.0.5
- Enhanced artifact evaluation guidance:
- Added note about which figures are reproducible in the artifact
- Added CPU vs GPU execution property expectations
- Added paper figure references for each case study
- Added timing guidance (CPU takes ~4 minutes on Apple M4)
- Clarified scaling behavior differences between CPU and GPU
