Porting Script

TRIQS 3.1.0 introduced a changes (summarized below) that require adjustments in TRIQS-based applications. For convenient porting, we have updated our porting script that you can download and run in the top-level directory of your respository.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TRIQS/triqs/unstable/porting_tools/port_to_triqs3
chmod u+x port_to_triqs3
./port_to_triqs3

Make sure to review all changes before you commit them. If you run into problems porting your application to this release, feel free to contact us by opening a discussion on github.

Deprecate use of string indices for Green functions

In previous versions of TRIQS it was possible to use string indices when accessing the matrix structure of a Green function in Python

g = GfReFreq(indices = ['s','d'], window = (-2, 2), name = "s+d")
g['d','d'] << Omega - 1.0
g['d','s'] << V
g['s','d'] << V
g['s','s'] << Omega - 2.0

We are deprecating this feature due to lack of use and the implementational complexity that this introduces in the library. Integer indices should be used instead

g = GfReFreq(target_shape = (2, 2), window = (-2, 2), name = "s+d")
g[0, 0] << Omega - 1.0
g[0, 1] << V
g[1, 0] << V
g[1, 1] << Omega - 2.0

Change in gf_struct objects

The aforementioned deprectation goes along with a change in the objects describing the structure of block-diagonal green functions, in our documentation and tutorials often called gf_struct.

Python expressions of the kind

gf_struct = [ ("up", [0, 1]), ("dn" : [0, 1]) ]

should be replaced by

gf_struct = [ ("up", 2), ("dn", 2) ]

In other words, we ask that you only provide the linear matrix size of each block instead of a list of indices. Correspondingly, the C++ type triqs::gfs::gf_struct_t has changed from

std::vector<std::pair<std::string,std::vector<std::variant<int, std::string>>>>

to

std::vector<std::pair<std::string,long>>

Note that we provide backward compatibility layers in most effected functions and in particular in the interfaces of our applications TRIQS/cthyb, TRIQS/tprf and TRIQS/dft_tools.

Green function meshes (C++)

The Green functions are now templated directly on the mesh types, making the gf_mesh template obsolete. The meshes were further regrouped in the triqs::mesh namespace with some renamings:

  • gf_mesh<imfreq> -> mesh::imfreq

  • gf_mesh<cyclic_lattice> -> mesh::cyclat

  • gf_mesh<brillouin_zone> -> mesh::brzone

  • gf_mesh<cartesian_product<..>> -> mesh::prod<..>

We have kept aliases for backward compatibility.

This means for example that

 auto m = gf_mesh<imfreq>{....};
 auto g = gf<imfreq>{m, {1,1}};

should now read

 auto m = mesh::imfreq{....};
 auto g = gf<imfreq>{m, {1,1}}; // as before

The triqs::lattice::brillouin_zone was previously used both as the Brillouin Zone domain type and as the tag for the associated mesh. If your code uses this class you should replace those occurrences where the latter meaning applies with mesh::brzone. In short:

  • triqs::lattice::brillouin_zone represents the Brillouin Zone domain

  • triqs::mesh::brzone is the mesh on this domain

Before:

  auto m = gf_mesh<brillouin_zone>{....};
  auto g = gf<cartesian_product<brillouin_zone,imfreq>> {{m, ...}, ....};

Now:

  auto m = mesh::brzone{....};
  auto g = gf<prod<brzone,imfreq>>{{m, ...}, ....};

Backward compatibility help:

  • gf_mesh is aliased to T, with deprecation.

  • porting script mentioned above

Move multi-array into TRIQS/nda library

We have moved the multi-array functionality out of the TRIQS library and into the TRIQS/nda repository. TRIQS/nda is a standalone multi-array library that does not depend on any components of triqs.

Note that most of the classes and functions previously available in the triqs::arrays namespace are now defined in the nda namespace. The relevant header files for nda are

  • nda/nda.hpp for array, matrix, vector, their view classes, arithmetic ops and algorithms

  • nda/h5.hpp for hdf5 read and write functions

  • nda/mpi.hpp for mpi functionalities

  • nda/linalg.hpp for linear algebra functions

triqs::stat Rework

This release includes a rework of the statistics routines in triqs. Associated with this, we have renamed this part of triqs from “statistics” to “stat” in C++ namespace, C++ headers, python module (where wrapped), and documentation.

The main object of triqs::stat is the so-called accumulator class. This class takes in measurements during a Monte Carlo simulation and serves a dual purpose: (a) to perform logarithmic binning which can be used to estimate the auto-correlation time, (b) to perform linear binning to compress and the store data for further processing. The design is flexible –- either log or lin binning can be turned off – in order to be useful in different cases. (Note: In this version, the estimation of the auto-correlation time is purposefully not fully automatic. Some user choice is required to turn the binning data into an auto-correlation time estimate).

triqs::stat also includes function to calculate mean and standard errors (both single thread and mpi version) as well as new jackknife routines (single thread and mpi versions).

Throughout, care has been taken to use numerically stable algorithms, especially when computing variances (mostly two-pass or Welford).

The deprecated “statistics.hpp” including classes binned_series, ts_observer, jackknife, observable were removed.

The histogram class histogram is generally unchanged except header name / namespace changes.

Documentation can be found at https://triqs.github.io/triqs/latest/documentation/manual/triqs/stat/contents.html

Bath discretization function

To fit a given hybridization function, either in imaginary frequency or time we provide now a bath discretization function (triqs.gf.tools.discretize_bath). Given a input delta_in and a number of bath sites Nb the function will fit Nb bath energies and hoppings on the input Green function mesh. The optimization is performed using scipy optimize minimizer BFGS (+basin hopping) or Nelder-Mead. More information can be found in the doc string.

We also added a function make_delta in triqs.gf.tools to construct a hybridization function on the imaginary axis for given hoppings and bath energies.

features of discretize_bath:

  • allow to fit BlockGf objects, with blocks of arbitrary size

  • allow to fit complex hybridization functions

  • fit is directly performed on iw or tau depending on the input

  • Nelder-Mead, or gradient based minimizer BFGS and basin hopping BFGS from scipy

  • input guesses can be provided either as complete guess for the hoppings and / or energies, or as a single value for all hoppings

  • if no guess for the hoppings is passed, the first guess is constructed from: lim_{iw->inf} iw * Delta(iw) or from -Delta(0) - Delta(beta) correspondingly.

Jenkins Sanitizer Checks

We have extended our Jenkins CI setup to run the tests of TRIQS and compiled applications with LLVM sanitizer checks enabled. In particular we make use of the AdressSanitizer and the UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer to catch various kinds of memory errors (e.g. out of bounds memory access) and undefined behavior during testing. This helps us to catch dangerous bugs early.

New website theme

We changed the sphinx theme of the documentation to the read the docs theme. The navigation of the website is done with a vertical sidebar on the left. Additionally we fixed various broken references in the code manual, that sphinx could not build. This theme is also deployed for all other triqs applications in version 3.1.0. If you should find any broken websites please open an issue.

TightBinding and TBLattice improvements

We have improved the user interface for the tight-binding objects both in C++ and Python. This effects the C++ class triqs::lattice::tight_binding as well as the Python classes triqs.lattice.TightBinding and triqs.lattice.TBLattice. All classes now provide member functions fourier(k) and dispersion(k) to calculate h(k) and its energy spectrum for single k-points, arrays of k-points and even on a given k-point mesh. We also deprecate the function hopping, which is now equivalent to fourier due to its confusing name.

We have further added additional Python utility functions triqs.lattice.utils

  • TB_from_wannier90: Create TBLattice object from a wannier90 output file

  • TB_from_pythTB: Create TBLattice object from pythtb.tb_model

  • k_space_path: Generate a Brillouin Zone path and relevant plotting information

Version 3.0.1

TRIQS Version 3.0.1 is a patch release that fixes a number of issues. In particular a crucial issue in relation to the atom_diag class was resolved.

We provide a more detailed description of the changes and fixes below.

Issue 819 - Atom Diag

For certain Hamiltonians and orderings of the fundamental_operator_set the atom_diag class would yield incorrect eigenenergies. Please refer to issue #819 for more details.

We provide a simple mechanism to detect if a given model was affected by the issue. By setting the runtime environment variable CHECK_ISSUE819 to an arbitrary value with e.g. export CHECK_ISSUE819=1 before starting the calculation, TRIQS will now throw an exception if the model was affected before.

This bug was fixed in pull request #820.

Version 3.0.0

TRIQS Version 3.0.0 is a major release that

  • introduces compatibility with Python 3 (Python 2 no longer supported)

  • separates out the h5, mpi and itertools functionality of the TRIQS library

  • fixes several library issues

A guide with instructions on how to port your application can be found here. We provide a detailed list of the changes below.

We thank all the people who have contributed to this release: Alexander Hampel, Olivier Parcollet, Malte Schueler, Hiroshi Shinaoka, Dylan Simon, Nils Wentzell, Manuel Zingl, Rok Žitko

Renamings

The separation of various TRIQS library functionalities into their own repositories made it necessary to rename various Python modules as well C++ header files. In addition, we have decided to rename the top-level Python module of TRIQS from ‘pytriqs’ to ‘triqs’. These renamings can be automated using the porting script that we provide. Please refer to our porting guide for more detailed instructions.

Dependency Management

We are managing the interdependencies of the various library components cpp2py, h5, mpi and itertools using cmake. Per default cmake will pull those dependencies from their corresponding GitHub repositories, build them, and install these components together with TRIQS, unless they are found in your system. This behavior can be altered using the additional cmake options

  • -DBuild_Deps="Always" - Always build dependencies, do not try to find them

  • -DBuild_Deps="Never" - Never build dependencies, but find them instead

during the configuration step.

h5py dependency

The dependency on h5py has been a source of of problems in setting up the TRIQS library for many users. We are glad to report that TRIQS 3.0 is no longer dependent on h5py, and instead provides the necessary Python bindings directly in the h5 repository, which per default is built and installed together with TRIQS.

Removal of deprecated API

Some parts of the TRIQS library API that have been deprecated in earlier releases were removed. This includes,

InverseFourier, set_from_inverse_fourier, make_gf_from_inverse_fourier, triqs.applications.XXX, g.N1, g.N2, g.beta, g.statistic, g.indicesL, g.indicesR

for the Python API and

block_gf.domain(), block_gf.mesh(), get_gf_data_shape, get_target_shape

in C++. Note that the porting script will replace some of these with the proper syntax.

Version 2.2.0

TRIQS Version 2.2.0 introduces substantial performance improvements by reworking the array memory allocation and by further changing the behavior of view types of arrays and Green functions. The Release also introduces structural changes to the mpi and itertools components to make them usable as standalone components. Beyond that, this release fixes several library issues and improves the documentation. We provide a more detailed description of the changes below.

Make range and itertools functionality standalone

We have pulled the functionality for integer ranges and the range-adapting functionality (product, enumerate, …) out of the TRIQS namespaces and made the headers standalone. This functionality now lives in the itertools namespace and resides in the top-level itertools folder. Tests can be found in test/itertools.

Make mpi functionality standalone and change namespace

We have pulled the generic mpi functionality (communicator, gather(basic_type), reduce(basic_type), …) out of the triqs::mpi namespace and made the headers standalone. This functionality now lives in the mpi namespace and resides in the top-level mpi folder. Tests can be found in test/mpi. In particular, includes of the header files triqs/mpi/base.hpp and triqs/mpi/vector.hpp should now be replaced with with includes to the according file in the mpi directory.

Non-owning views (C++)

We have changed the behavior of view-types within TRIQS. Prior to TRIQS 2.2 any view (gf_view, array_view, …) would make sure that the data of the underlying object (gf, array, …) is kept alive until all views and the object itself are destroyed. This was achieved through a so-called reference-counting mechanism that lead to substantial performance penalties in some cases. In TRIQS 2.2 view-types no longer keep the underlying memory alive and are thus only valid as long as the base-object is valid. Let us illustrate this with two examples:

Example 1: Returning view-types

array_view<int, 1> f() { return array<int, 1>{1, 2, 3}; }

Here, the array<int, 1> is immediately destroyed at the end of the function body. The view-type that we return is thus immediately invalid. We should instead return an array<int, 1>.

array<int, 1> f() { return array<int, 1>{1, 2, 3}; }

Example 2: Constructing a view from a temporary

array_view<int, 1> av{ zeros<int>(10) };

Here we construct an array_view<int 1> from a temporary of type array<int, 1>. The temporary will be destroyed immediately after the construction, invalidating the view. We should instead be creating an array<int, 1>

array<int, 1> arr{ zeros(10) };

Note that no unnecessary copies will be made in the code above.

Our analysis has shown that in practice this change in behavior rarely affects existing applications. You can however automatically detect any problems related to this change by using the dynamic analyzer checks described in the following.

Dynamic Analyzer Checks (ASAN, UBSAN)

The clang and gcc compiler provide so-called dynamic analyzer checks that allow us to detect various memory access errors and occurances of undefined behavior. We have simplified the process of running these checks for TRIQS and any application based on the app4triqs skeleton by adding additional options to the cmake configuration. In order to run these checks you will need to configure TRIQS and your application with -DASAN=ON and/or -DUBSAN=ON.

No longer install googletest

The build-system of the TRIQS library will no longer install the googletest project as this can lead to conflicts with system-provided packages. Applications should instead compile and link against their own version of googletest. This is done for example in the app4triqs application skeleton.

app4triqs

Starting with TRIQS Version 2.2.0 we will issue compatible releases of the app4triqs application skeleton. These will serve as a basis to the corresponding compatible releases of many of our official applications. Making adjustments to the project structure directly within app4triqs allows us to easily propagate these changes to all compatible applications.

Version 1.5

To port an application’s cmakelists:

  • The best is to look at a complete example, ctint tutorial or cthyb.

  • Import TRIQS AND Cpp2Py which are 2 separate packages now.

  • We now use modern cmake techniques, i.e. imported targets

  • Simply link your target to triqs (imported target).

    Remove TRIQS_CXX_DEFINITIONS TRIQS_INCLUDE_ALL and co.

  • Obsolete : TRIQSTest are deprecated. Cf cthyb and ctint tutorial for examples.

  • build_pytriqs is also removed. Cf test/python in cthyb to set up the environment variable properly

  • New Python interface for Gf.

EXPLAIN

API changes

  • Remove the gf.local module, simply use gf

    from pytriqs.gf.local import ... --> from pytriqs.gf import ...

  • g.indices -> g.indices[0]

  • Change gf_struct_t in fundamental_operator_set.hpp from

    std::map<std::string,std::vector<std::variant<int, std::string>>>

    to

    std::vector<std::pair<std::string,std::vector<std::variant<int, std::string>>>>

    to properly maintain the order of blocks.

  • In any Python script, replace e.g.

    gf_struct = { "up" : [0, 1], "dn" : [0, 1] } by

    gf_struct = [ ["up", [0, 1]], ["dn" : [0, 1]] ]

Deprecation

Version 1.4

Documentation

  • Replace Doxygen by the local simpler tool c++2doc.

Installation

  • boost mpi is no longer detected by triqs. You can either add 2 lines to detect it in CMake, or port your apps to triqs::mpi. To port an apps using mpi :

    • detect boost mpi lib, and link to it, using e.g. in CMakeLists :

      find_package(Boost \({BOOST_VERSION} REQUIRED COMPONENTS mpi serialization system) link_libraries(\){Boost_LIBRARIES})

    • include “boost/mpi.hpp” if needed.

  • The library is installed in C++14 mode.

  • New install/build conventions for apps. Here are the changes to be made:

    • in _desc.py

    1. m = module(full_name = 'module_name', app_name='application_a') (instead of full_name="pytriqs.applications.application_a.module_name")

    2. m.use_module("gf", "triqs") (instead of m.use_module("gf"))

    3. m.add_include(... with path relative to c++ dir (not relative to current dir)) (e.g. add_include(solver_core.hpp) instead of add_include("../c++/solver_core.hpp"))

    • in CMakeLists.txt

    1. add line include_directories(c++)

    • in python/CMakeLists.txt

    1. change python_destination: remove pytriqs.applications…

    2. change triqs_python_extension: change to triqs_python_extension_and_install, and remove second argument

    3. change install DESTINATION : replace variable TRIQS_PYTHON_LIB_DEST with PYTHON_LIB_DEST_ROOT

    • in your python scripts:

    1. replace everywhere pytriqs.applications.* with *

    A more detailed documentation can be found here: https://triqs.github.io/triqs/1.x/tutorials/using_the_lib/application_structure.html

Many-body operators

  • They are now polymorphic, they can handle complex and real case. many_body_operator is not a template any more. many_body_operator_generic is the general case.

  • The are in triqs::operators namespace (moved from utility).

Green’s functions

  • Added support for complex G(tau). By default G(tau) is complex.

  • Accordingly G(iw) is defined by default on the full (positive and negative) frequency axis. Plotting is affected.

  • [API break] As a consequence G.data is twice as big. Now G.data[0] refers to the smallest negative frequency so older codes using direct data access will break. The n^th frequency can be retrieved with G(n) which is the recommended usage as it is independent from the storage details.

  • Fourier transforms have been updated.

  • When writing to HDF5:

    • If the imaginary part of G(tau) is zero, then G(tau) is written as a real array (to gain space) otherwise it is written as a complex array

    • If the negative and positive frequencies of G(iw) are all equivalent through G(-iw) = G(iw)* then only the positive frequencies are saved (to gain space). Otherwise the full axis is written

    • Note that the behavior described above is only followed when writing to the HDF5 file. When a G(tau) or a G(iw) is read from the HDF5, it will always be turned into a complex G(tau) or a G(iw) on the full frequency axis.

Tests

  • All c++ tests have been ported to Google test.

  • The c++ test tools have been reorganized into triqs/test_tools. The google test sources are there as well as two headers gfs.hpp and arrays.hpp with macros to easily compare arrays and Green’s functions within a google test code.

  • The test cmake files have been simplified. There are just two macros to run a test:

    • add_cpp_test(testname) that adds a c++ test.

    • add_python_test(testname) that adds a python test.

    • From an external project these macros are called triqs_add_cpp_test and triqs_add_python_test.

  • For both tests, if there is a file testname.ref then the output of the test, written in a file testname.out will be compared to testname.ref and the test will fail if they are different.

  • It is now up to the user to check a result against a reference archive. As a convention, the reference archives end with .ref.h5 and the test generates a file .out.h5. The program h5diff is no longer used by the library (h5diff had several limitations). The python tests have been changed accordingly.

  • The module pytriqs.utility.comparison_tests has functions that make it easy to compare arrays and green’s functions in a python script.

  • The module pytriqs.utility.h5diff allows to compare two archives.

Version 1.3

Installation

  • TRIQS depends on a number of third-party Sphinx extensions to build its documentation. These extensions are now installed under ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/triqs/sphinxext, in order to let TRIQS-based application to reuse the extensions and to inherit the visual style of the docs.

  • Preinstalled Sphinx extension sphinxcontrib-doxylink is not needed anymore to build the documentation.

Green functions

  • New Python method DOS.copy().

  • New convenience functions in module pytriqs.gf.local.tools,

    • inverse(): compute the inverse of a Green’s function;

    • delta(): compute Delta_iw from G0_iw;

    • dyson(): solve Dyson’s equation for given two of G0_iw, G_iw and Sigma_iw to yield the third;

    • tail_fit(): fit the tails of Sigma_iw and optionally G_iw;

    • read_gf_from_txt()/write_gf_to_txt(): read/write a GfReFreq from/to text files.

Many-body operators

  • HDF5 support.

  • Various utilities related to the many-body operators are organized in a separate sub-package pytriqs.operators.util. It includes the following modules,

    • hamiltonian: commonly-used Hamiltonians, Slater, Kanamori, density-density;

    • U_matrix (moved from dft_tools): construction of interaction matrices;

    • observables: operators of commonly used observables (S_z, S^2, L_z, L^2, L*S and so on);

    • op_struct: auxiliary functions to work with spin and orbital indices.

Monte-Carlo tools

  • Function mc_generic::start() returns different exit codes depending on the way it has been stopped, by receiving a signal or by stop_callback().

Determinant manipulation

  • New functions insert2(), remove2(), change_row() and change_col(), which are combinations of try_* and complete_operation().

  • New functions insert2_at_end(), remove_at_end() and remove2_at_end().

  • Optimized version of change_one_row_and_one_col() and other minor optimizations.

HDF5

  • Support for unsigned long long.

  • The lists and tuples in Python are now written by hdf_archive with keys as “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, instead of “00000000”, “00000001”, “0000002”, “0000003”, … This is necessary for C++ compatibility, where std::vector<T> is written in HDF5 as a subgroup with object named by their number, for generic T (i.e. not int, double, std::string). This change is backward compatible: old archive can be read by new code, but would break h5diff.

c++2py

  • Support for rich comparison methods.

  • Make sure to include array converter in gf converter

  • New C++ attribute ignore_in_python that prevents a class method from wrapping in Python.

  • One can use two special line prefixes, type: and default: when documenting a member of the parameter class. They allow to override the corresponding fields in the generated table.

  • Converters for unsigned int, unsigned long and unsigned long long.

  • Converter for std::tuple (from any Python sequence/to tuple()).

  • std::pair is now converted to tuple().

Tests

  • The Google Test framework (https://github.com/google/googletest) has been adopted by the project. Some of C++ test have been ported to it.

  • New header file test_tools.hpp with convenience functions and additional GTest macros for C++ testing.

Miscellaneous

  • Added a reference to a Computer Physics Communications paper about TRIQS.

  • Numerous updates to the documentation.

Version 1.2

C++

  • New wrapping of boost random generators. No effect on API.

  • HDF5 cleaned, now using only C library (not C++) for simpler installation.

Python

  • New wrapper tool to glue C++ and Python. Cython is gone.

Green Functions

  • transpose() method now returns a NEW green function, like conjugate(), etc…

  • Suppress the possibility to save/load in HDF5 for a tail alone (must be part of a GF).

Version 1.1

  • New constructors for the gf [api change]

  • Fix for gf expression templates

  • The gf tails now have fixed size to avoid mpi problems

  • Fixes in gf expression templates

  • New python random generator interface

  • Fixes for issues #11, #18, #25

Version 1.0

There have been changes from versions 0.x to 1.0.0 that will most likely have consequences for your scripts and archives.

Python classes

The number of python classes in the old 0.x releases was increasing with no clear naming convention. In TRIQS 1.0 we have unified the naming of the classes following the PEP naming conventions <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#naming-conventions>_:

  • Package and module names: lowercase with underscores

  • Class names: CapWords

  • Function names: lowercase with underscores

  • Function and method arguments: lowercase with underscores

Archives

We provide an update script porting_tools/update_archive.py which should help you upgrade your archive. The usage is very simple::

$ python update_archive.py old_archive new_archive

where old_archive is your old archive to be upgraded and new_archive is the name of the new archive. If you encounter problems please post an issue with a copy of your archive.
