FormaK aims to combine symbolic modeling for fast, efficient system modelling
with code generation to create performant code that is easy to use.
The Five Key Elements the library provides to achieve this user experience are:
This design provides an extension to the second of the Five Keys "Python
implementation of the model..." and the fifth of the Five Keys "C++ interfaces
to support a variety of model uses" to support the performance goals of the
library: Common Subexpresion Elimination (CSE).
CSE is a transformation on the compute graph of the underlying model (for
either Python or C++) to remove duplicate compuation at multiple scales. For
example, if a sensor model computes
a + b
multiple times, CSE identifies thissubexpression and computes it once. This could also apply to a more complicated
expression like
9.81 * sin(theta + bias)
.One of the nicest benefits of this transformation is that it will provide a
performance benefit to the model without a compromise to the user interface.
