Ordering of results in run_over_distribution() does not match ordering in configuration list

[benmsanderson]

Calling a distributed case:
distrorun1 = DistributionRun(testconfig, numvalues=10000)

results1 = distrorun1.run_over_distribution(scendata, output_vars, max_workers=100)

where scendata is a list of configuration dictionaries, output_vars is a list of desired outputs

the ordering of outputs in df=results1.timeseries() does not match that in distrorun1.cfgs - which renders any emulation impossible. I suspect this traces back to the parallel utility in openscmrunner:
https://github.com/openscm/openscm-runner/blob/main/src/openscm_runner/adapters/utils/_parallel_process.py

which (I think) doesn't preserve the ordering of the original configuration vector in the output.

Working on a simpler code which bypasses openscmrunner for this...

Alright - this seems to work ( https://github.com/ciceroOslo/ciceroscm/blob/calibration-workflow/notebooks/CSCM_calibrate.ipynb ), without calling the openscmrunner:

Firstly, a quick wrapper to jointly return results and config, and handle crashes:

def get_results(cfg):
    try:
        cscm_dir._run({"results_as_dict":True},
                   pamset_udm=cfg['pamset_udm'],pamset_emiconc=cfg['pamset_emiconc'])
        res=cscm_dir.results

    except:
        res=None
    return [cfg,res]

then:

def run_parallel(cfgs,nworkers=4):
    results=len(cfgs)*[None]
    with ProcessPoolExecutor(nworkers) as exe:
            # execute tasks concurrently and process results in order
            pres=list(tqdm(exe.map(get_results, cfgs)))
            for result in pres:
                # get the corresponding index of the config
                ind=int(result[0]['Index'])
                # put it in the right element of the results vector
                results[ind]=result[1]
    return results

so, in use - you do:

distrorun1 = DistributionRun(testconfig, numvalues=10000)
results=run_parallel(distrorun1.cfgs,nworkers=100)

This is nice, I will take a look at implementing this on Monday, @benmsanderson . In the meantime a quick review #131 so we have a working version would be really great ;-)

Will try and look tomorrow - in the meantime, a simple parallel implementation without openscmrunner is here, works fine on qbo (working on the emulation/optimization now). https://github.com/ciceroOslo/ciceroscm/blob/calibration-workflow/notebooks/calibration%20pipeline/1%20-%20run%20parallel%20PPE.ipynb
