AutoOptimize

Note: This repo is still experimental!

Do you want your calculation to go faster but are also too lazy to optimize your code? Well I have a solution for you! Introducing the AutoOptimize system. With a simple ]add AutoOptimize, we'll send it straight to your home and SHIPPING IS FREE! In seconds your calculations will be taking seconds. So what do you have to lose? Here, come on in and I'll show you how to use it.

Making Code Fast, the Lazy Way

Define an ODEProblem, prob. Alright, I'll wait for you to catch up. Now call:

_prob = auto_optimize(prob)

Now _prob is better, so go use that one.

Example: Faster PDEs

using AutoOptimize, OrdinaryDiffEq, LinearAlgebra, SparseArrays

# Define the constants for the PDE
const α₂ = 1.0
const α₃ = 1.0
const β₁ = 1.0
const β₂ = 1.0
const β₃ = 1.0
const r₁ = 1.0
const r₂ = 1.0
const _DD = 100.0
const γ₁ = 0.1
const γ₂ = 0.1
const γ₃ = 0.1
const N = 32
const X = reshape([i for i in 1:N for j in 1:N],N,N)
const Y = reshape([j for i in 1:N for j in 1:N],N,N)
const α₁ = 1.0.*(X.>=4*N/5)

const Mx = Tridiagonal([1.0 for i in 1:N-1],[-2.0 for i in 1:N],[1.0 for i in 1:N-1])
const My = copy(Mx)
Mx[2,1] = 2.0
Mx[end-1,end] = 2.0
My[1,2] = 2.0
My[end,end-1] = 2.0

# Define the discretized PDE as an ODE function
function f(u,p,t)
    A = @view  u[:,:,1]
    B = @view  u[:,:,2]
    C = @view  u[:,:,3]
    MyA = My*A
    AMx = A*Mx
    DA = @. _DD*(MyA + AMx)
    dA = @. DA + α₁ - β₁*A - r₁*A*B + r₂*C
    dB = @. α₂ - β₂*B - r₁*A*B + r₂*C
    dC = @. α₃ - β₃*C + r₁*A*B - r₂*C
    cat(dA,dB,dC,dims=3)
end

u0 = zeros(N,N,3)
MyA = zeros(N,N);
AMx = zeros(N,N);
DA = zeros(N,N);
prob = ODEProblem(f,u0,(0.0,10.0))

But then you're like "but diz code is beautiful!" and I'm just proper chuffed: how do I make my benchmarks look good if you don't want to write good code?

Well, I guess this calls for Doctor Auto Optimize!

_prob,_alg = auto_optimize(prob)

After this churns away for a bit, you go boom:

@btime solve(_prob, TRBDF2()) # 168.558 ms (4925 allocations: 101.41 MiB)

and there you go, now you're solving 4 PDEs a second. What was it like before the optimization?

@btime solve(prob, TRBDF2(autodiff=false)) # 249.993 s (18560715 allocations: 1281.93 GiB)

That's a lean 1483x temporal speedup!
