Overview

ParaMonte: Plain Powerful Parallel Monte Carlo Library

ParaMonte is a serial/parallel library of Monte Carlo routines for sampling mathematical objective functions of arbitrary-dimensions, in particular, the posterior distributions of Bayesian models in data science, Machine Learning, and scientific inference, with the design goal of unifying the automation (of Monte Carlo simulations), user-friendliness (of the library), accessibility (from multiple programming environments), high-performance (at runtime), and scalability (across many parallel processors).

For more information on the installation, usage, and examples, visit: https://www.cdslab.org/paramonte

ParaMonte design goals

ParaMonte has been developed while bearing the following design goals in mind:

  • Full automation of all Monte Carlo simulations to the highest levels possible to ensure the highest level of user-friendliness of the library and minimal time investment requirements for building, running, and post-processing of simulation models.

  • Interoperability of the core library with as many programming languages as currently possible, including C, C++, Fortran, MATLAB, Python, with ongoing efforts to support other popular programming languages.

  • High-Performance meticulously-low-level implementation of the library to ensure the fastest-possible Monte Carlo simulations.

  • Parallelizability of all simulations via two-sided and one-sided MPI/Coarray communications while requiring zero-parallel-coding efforts by the user.

  • Zero-dependence on external libraries to ensure hassle-free ParaMonte library builds and ParaMonte simulation runs.

  • Fully-deterministic reproducibility and automatically-enabled restart functionality for all simulations up to 16 digits of precision as requested by the user.

  • Comprehensive-reporting and post-processing of each simulation and its results, as well as their automatic storage in external files to ensure the simulation results will be comprehensible and reproducible at any time in the distant future.

Installation

The pre-built ready-to-use libraries are available on the release page of the ParaMonte library on GitHub. Each prebuilt ParaMonte library automatically ships with a full-fledged set of example codes and build scripts.

Alternatively, you can build the library from the source in the GitHub repository of the project. The ParaMonte library installation/build process is fully automated for all of the supported programming languages. Currently, the following compiler suites are supported for builds from source:

Compiler Suite Linux macOS Windows (64bit)
GNU Compiler Collection > 8.4 ✓ ✓ ✗
Intel Parallel Studio > 19.1.1 ✓ ✓ ✓

For more information and quick-start in the programming language of your choice, visit the ParaMonte library homepage.

Dependencies

Beyond an optional MPI runtime library for parallel simulations, the ParaMonte kernel has zero dependency on external third-party libraries or packages.

Parallelism

The ParaMonte library relies on the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard for inter-processor communications. To run a parallel simulation, you will have to have a compatible MPI runtime library installed on your system. In most cases, ParaMonte will automatically install the required missing libraries on your system (with your permission). These automatic checks and installations happen when you download and install or use the library on your system, for the first time. If the automatic installation is unsuccessful, you can also install the libraries manually on your system:

  • On Windows and Linux operating systems, we highly recommend downloading and installing the Intel MPI runtime libraries, which is available to the public free of charge, also available in the latest release of the ParaMonte library on the GitHub release page (For Windows, look for the executable file that ends with .exe. For Linux, look for the file that ends with .tgz, like l_mpi-rt_2018.2.199.tgz).
  • On macOS, the Intel MPI library is not available. Therefore, we recommend installing either Open-MPI or MPICH MPI runtime libraries depending the prebuilt version of the ParaMonte library that you have downloaded or the configuration with which you intend to build the library.

    General: How to run in parallel?

    I'm playing with the example provided with the binary release (libparamonte_fortran_linux_x64_gnu_release_dynamic_heap_openmpi) and I'm not clear how to run in parallel.

    In serial mode things seem okay. However, if I do:

    ./run.sh -n 2

    I get this message in stdout (among others):

            ParaDRAM - NOTE: ParaDRAM is being used in parallel mode but with only one processor. This is computationally inefficient. 
        ParaDRAM - NOTE: Consider using the serial version of the code or provide more processes at runtime if it is beneficial.

    I get the same result if I change the number of processes, or if I run the program directly, mpiexec -n 2 ./main.exe.

    run.sh should error out on a bad CLI argument

    Using run.sh provided in libparamonte_fortran_linux_x64_gnu_release_dynamic_heap_openmpi binary release.

    Try:

    $ ./run.sh --bad-arg

    or similar. The script should give a helpful message to the user, but instead, nothing is output.

    On a positive side, the status code is non-zero, as expected:

    $ ./run.sh --bad-arg
$ echo $?

  • License agreement terms

    License agreement terms

    Paramonte is MIT licensed.

    However, ACKNOWLEDGMENT.md states:

    As per the ParaMonte library license agreement terms, if you use any parts of this library for any purposes, kindly acknowledge the use of ParaMonte in your work (education/research/industry/development/...) by citing the ParaMonte library's main publications as listed here:

    The MIT license doesn't require acknowledgment, only that the copyright statement and the license body is included in the copy.

    So I think the first paragraph in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT.md should be reworded to something like:

    If you use ParaMonte, please acknowledge it by citing the ParaMonte library's main publications

    to ask for acknowledgment but not make it sound like it's a legal requirement.

    Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. It would be great to have this new algorithm [...] Yes, Windows frequently locks the output files from the Paradram sampler if a runtime error occurs. This happens commonly in interpreted languages where the runtime session keeps running, while the paramonte sampler run and the corresponding DLL fail for some reason and lock the files with the opened DLL, such that any future runs will not be able to overwrite the old existing files, because their ownership remains with the original opened DLL.

    Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. While there is no remedy for the global windows locks, the sampler could attempt to delete the existing files and if the deletion fails, it would print a diagnostic message that better describes the nature of the error and the specific solution to it, which is a reset of the environment (application, python session, matlab, ...) to clear the ownership of the files.

    Describe alternatives you've considered if any A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. Currently the messages are somewhat unclear about the cause of the error.

    Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. This happens frequently in ipython or jupyter notebook sessions.

    Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The build script currently lacks the ability to automatically build and install the OpenMPI library. Furthermore, the support for the OpenMPI library in the setup file generation is currently not quite robust and well developed.

    Describe the solution you'd like The kernel build script should accept the name of the MPI library to be used for building the ParaMonte library. It must then be able to check if the requested library exists on the system and if not be able to automatically download and install the library on the system and use the requested MPI library to build ParaMonte and run examples and tests using the requested library.
