python - Passing NumPy arrays as arguments to numba.cfunc

I have been fighting with an issue that I am having trouble wrapping my head around, and therefore don't quite know how to start solving it. My experience in programming C is very limited and that is, I think, the reason for which I cannot make progress.

I have some function that uses numpy.interp and scipy.integrate.quad to carry out a certain integral. Since I use quad for the integration, and according to its documentation:

A Python function or method to integrate. If func takes many arguments, it is integrated along the axis corresponding to the first argument.

If the user desires improved integration performance, then f may be a scipy.LowLevelCallable with one of the signatures:

double func(double x)
double func(double x, void *user_data) 
double func(int n, double *xx) 
double func(int n, double *xx, void *user_data) 

The user_data is the data contained in the scipy.LowLevelCallable. In the call forms with xx, n is the length of the xx array which contains xx[0] == x and the rest of the items are numbers contained in the args argument of quad.

In addition, certain ctypes call signatures are supported for backward compatibility, but those should not be used in new code.

I need to use the scipy.LowLevelCallable objects for speeding up my code, and I need to stick my function design to one of the above signatures. Moreover, since I do not want to be complicating the whole thing with C libraries and compilers, I want to solve this "on the fly" with the tools available from numba, in particular numba.cfunc, which allows me to by-pass the Python C API.

I have been able to solve this for an integrand that takes as an input the integration variable and an arbitrary number of scalar parameters:

    from scipy import integrate, LowLevelCallable
    from numba import njit, cfunc
    from numba.types import intc, float64, CPointer


    def jit_integrand_function(integrand_function):
        jitted_function = njit(integrand_function)

        @cfunc(float64(intc, CPointer(float64)))
        def wrapped(n, xx):
            return jitted_function(xx[0], xx[1], xx[2], xx[3])
        return LowLevelCallable(wrapped.ctypes)

    @jit_integrand_function
    def regular_function(x1, x2, x3, x4):
        return x1 + x2 + x3 + x4

    def do_integrate_wo_arrays(a, b, c, lolim=0, hilim=1):
        return integrate.quad(regular_function, lolim, hilim, (a, b, c))

    >>> print(do_integrate_wo_arrays(1,2,3,lolim=2, hilim=10))
    (96.0, 1.0658141036401503e-12)

This code works just fine. I am able to jit the integrand function and return the jitted function as a LowLevelCallable object. However, I actually need to pass to my integrand two numpy.arrays, and the above construction breaks:

    from scipy import integrate, LowLevelCallable
    from numba import njit, cfunc
    from numba.types import intc, float64, CPointer


    def jit_integrand_function(integrand_function):
        jitted_function = njit(integrand_function)

        @cfunc(float64(intc, CPointer(float64)))
        def wrapped(n, xx):
            return jitted_function(xx[0], xx[1], xx[2], xx[3])
        return LowLevelCallable(wrapped.ctypes)

    @jit_integrand_function
    def function_using_arrays(x1, x2, array1, array2):
        res1 = np.interp(x1, array1[0], array1[1])
        res2 = np.interp(x2, array2[0], array2[1])

        return res1 + res2

    def do_integrate_w_arrays(a, lolim=0, hilim=1):
        foo = np.arange(20, dtype=np.float).reshape(2, -1)
        bar = np.arange(60, dtype=np.float).reshape(2, -1)

        return integrate.quad(function_using_arrays, lolim, hilim, (a, foo, bar))


    >>> print(do_integrate_w_arrays(3, lolim=2, hilim=10))

Well now, obviously this doesn't work, because in this example I have not modified the design of the decorator. But that is exactly the core of my question: I do not fully understand this situation and therefore don't know how to modify the cfunc arguments for passing an array as parameter and still complying with the scipy.integrate.quad signature requirements. In the numba documentation that introduces CPointers there is an example of how to pass an array to a numba.cfunc:

Native platform ABIs as used by C or C++ don’t have

You can use the user_data Input to pass arrays

As I understood the documentation of scipy.integrate.quad it isn't possible to pass arrays with the args parameter when using a scipy.LowLevelCallable, but you can pass abitrary user_data.

In the following example I used this signature.

double func(double x, void *user_data)

Edit Arbitrary shapes of arrays without recompilation

Using this answer it is also possible to compile the function once for arbitrary array shapes (only the number of dimensions is fixed).

import numpy as np
import numba as nb
from numba import types
from scipy import integrate, LowLevelCallable
import ctypes

#Void Pointer from Int64
@nb.extending.intrinsic
def address_as_void_pointer(typingctx, src):
    """ returns a void pointer from a given memory address """
    from numba import types 
    from numba.core import cgutils
    sig = types.voidptr(src)

    def codegen(cgctx, builder, sig, args):
        return builder.inttoptr(args[0], cgutils.voidptr_t)
    return sig, codegen

def create_jit_integrand_function(integrand_function,args_dtype):
    jitted_function = nb.njit(integrand_function)

    #double func(double x, void *user_data)
    @nb.cfunc(types.float64(types.float64,types.CPointer(args_dtype)))
    def wrapped(x1,user_data_p):
        #Array of structs
        user_data = nb.carray(user_data_p, 1)

        #Extract the data
        x2=user_data[0].a
        array1=nb.carray(address_as_void_pointer(user_data[0].foo_p),(user_data[0].foo_s1,user_data[0].foo_s2),dtype=np.float64)
        array2=nb.carray(address_as_void_pointer(user_data[0].bar_p),(user_data[0].bar_s1,user_data[0].bar_s2),dtype=np.float64)

        return jitted_function(x1, x2, array1, array2)
    return wrapped

def function_using_arrays(x1, x2, array1, array2):
    res1 = np.interp(x1, array1[0], array1[1])
    res2 = np.interp(x2, array2[0], array2[1])

    return res1 + res2

def do_integrate_w_arrays(func,args,lolim=0, hilim=1):
    integrand_func=LowLevelCallable(func.ctypes,user_data=args.ctypes.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p))
    return integrate.quad(integrand_func, lolim, hilim)

#Define the datatype of the struct array
#Pointers are not allowed, therefore we use int64
args_dtype = types.Record.make_c_struct([
    ('a', types.float64),
    ('foo_p',  types.int64),
    ('foo_s1', types.int64),
    ('foo_s2', types.int64),
    ('bar_p',  types.int64),
    ('bar_s1', types.int64),
    ('bar_s2', types.int64),])

#creating some sample data
#The arrays must be c-contigous
#To ensure that you can use np.ascontiguousarray

a=3
foo = np.ascontiguousarray(np.arange(200, dtype=np.float64).reshape(2, -1))
bar = np.ascontiguousarray(np.arange(600, dtype=np.float64).reshape(2, -1))


args=np.array((a,foo.ctypes.data,foo.shape[0],foo.shape[1],
                 bar.ctypes.data,bar.shape[0],bar.shape[1]),dtype=args_dtype)

#compile the integration function (array-shapes are fixed)
#There is only a structured array like args allowed
func=create_jit_integrand_function(function_using_arrays,args_dtype)


print(do_integrate_w_arrays(func,args, lolim=0, hilim=1))

Old version

As I am passing a Structured array a recompilation is needed if the array shapes or datatypes changes. This isn't a limitation of the API itself. There must a way how to do this in an easier way (Maybe using Tuples?)

Implementation

import numpy as np
import numba as nb
from numba import types
from scipy import integrate, LowLevelCallable
import ctypes

def create_jit_integrand_function(integrand_function,args,args_dtype):
    jitted_function = nb.njit(integrand_function)

    @nb.cfunc(types.float64(types.float64,types.CPointer(args_dtype)))
    def wrapped(x1,user_data_p):
        #Array of structs
        user_data = nb.carray(user_data_p, 1)

        #Extract the data
        x2=user_data[0].a
        array1=user_data[0].foo
        array2=user_data[0].bar

        return jitted_function(x1, x2, array1, array2)
    return wrapped

def function_using_arrays(x1, x2, array1, array2):
    res1 = np.interp(x1, array1[0], array1[1])
    res2 = np.interp(x2, array2[0], array2[1])

    return res1 + res2

def jit_with_dummy_data(args,args_dtype):
    func=create_jit_integrand_function(function_using_arrays,args,args_dtype)
    return func

def do_integrate_w_arrays(func,args,lolim=0, hilim=1):
    integrand_func=LowLevelCallable(func.ctypes,user_data=args.ctypes.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p))
    return integrate.quad(integrand_func, lolim, hilim)

Using the Implementation

#creating some sample data
a=3
foo = np.arange(200, dtype=np.float64).reshape(2, -1)
bar = np.arange(600, dtype=np.float64).reshape(2, -1)

args_dtype = types.Record.make_c_struct([
    ('a', types.float64),
    ('foo', types.NestedArray(dtype=types.float64, shape=foo.shape)),
    ('bar', types.NestedArray(dtype=types.float64, shape=bar.shape)),])

args=np.array((a,foo,bar),dtype=args_dtype)

#compile the integration function (array-shapes are fixed)
#There is only a structured array like args allowed
func=jit_with_dummy_data(args,args_dtype)


print(do_integrate_w_arrays(func,args, lolim=0, hilim=1))
