Version 2023.1.1 (2023-02-05)#

  • fix multiple display of figures using %matplotlib widget (ipympl)

  • update requirements

Version 2023.1 (2023-02-03)#

Major changes#

  • command-line scripts have been renamed to be more standard and without a .py extension, e.g. pynx-ptycho-cxi instead of pynx-cxiptycho.py

  • Ptycho (near field): added Paganin operator to estimate the initial object, using a reference frame with the direct beam

  • Ptycho: if a reference frame (direct beam) is given, it can be also used for optimisation, yielding an absolute reference for the probe.

  • Ptycho (API): the intensity mask should not be supplied anymore, but the iobs data should have masked data as negative values. For near field, padded data must be extrapolated and stored as -1-I_extrapolated.

  • Ptycho: add cxi_output command-line option to e.g. only save the object phase and save space.

  • CDI: correct CUDA random initialisation of object which was not-so-random

Minor changes & bugfixes#

  • CDI: add plot_axis option - select the cut direction for 3D data [D. Simonne]

  • Ptycho: correct error which could occur when not using interpolation and object position fall _exactly_ on half-integers coordinates (so for simulations)

  • ptycho: in the CPU operator, correct object&probe update with multiple modes

  • Avoid importing MPI when possible (auto-detect from environment variables)

  • Fix deprecated usage of np.int, np.bool etc in numpy 1.24 (see https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.24.0-notes.html#expired-deprecations)

Version 2022.1 (2022-02-06)#

Major changes#

  • simplified installation: e.g. to get both cuda and OpenCL backends, this can be done using just ‘pip install pynx.tar.bz2[cuda]’, including all dependencies.

  • Ptycho: incoherent background optimisation with a much more stable approach for AP and DM.

  • Ptycho: add near field runner script (ESRF-id16A), also enabled for simulation

  • Ptycho: much faster position optimisation (cuda). Change defaults in runner for positions optimisation (mult=5 and advise update every N cycles)

  • Ptycho: add ‘multiscan_reuse_ptycho’ option to runner scripts to chain the analysis of multiple scans (e.g. for ptycho-tomo) by re-using the previous object and probe, avoiding extra initialisations, and allowing to use a shorter algorithm chain after the first scan

  • Ptycho: the FFT scaling has been unified between CUDA, OpenCL and CPU operators which are now coherent. The amplitudes of the object and probe are each increased (compared to pre-12/2021 versions) by a factor, the product of which is equal the Fourier window size.

  • CDI: improved PSF calculation, with several options for the partial coherence kernel, including periodic update of PSF managed from the algorithm chain, loading previous PSF, etc.. The initial PSF model must be specified with the CDI runner, e.g. using psf=pseudo-voigt,0.5,0.05,20 (see doc)

  • CDI: optimisations for large data sizes, with faster calculations and less memory used. Now 960**3 datasets require ~28 GB GPU memory

  • CDI: in a python script, the object must be initialised using the InitObj operator, unless an object has been supplied.

  • CDI: add a Regrid3D class and a pynx-cdi-regrid.py script to transform small-angle CDI frames to a 3D dataset (Jérôme Kieffer)

  • CDI: the support update can raise exceptions if the support is too small or too large. This is handled automatically in the runner to restart while changing a little the threshold.

  • CDI runner: when using nb_run and nb_run_keep, also reject solutions which have a too large fraction of square modulus outside the support.

  • CDI analysis script: faster default options without phase ramp match, and parallel processing for loading an modes analysis. Copy original process information into the modes file.

  • Now requires Python>=3.7. Source installation must use ‘pip install’ and not ‘python setup.py install’

  • Switch default library for FFT to VkFFT (using pyvkfft), for both OpenCL and CUDA. scikit-cuda and gpyfft are still supported. This improves performance for opencl, and also for cuda with large FFT dimensions (>1k). Memory requirements are lowered for cuda when nx<=8192 and ny,nz<=4096

Minor changes & bugfixes#

  • Ptycho: correct auto-scaling of object & probe which altered convergence for DM when printing LLK

  • Ptycho: minor speed improvement (cuda) with fully asynchronous ML

  • Ptycho runner: saveprefix does not require to use a sub-directory

  • Ptycho & CDI will now report average bandwidth per algorithm step

  • CDI: improve memory allocation which was causing a slowdown when using PSF

  • CDI: add lazy operators for support and random object initialisation, free pixels generation.

  • CDI: added a ObjSupportStats operator which gathers the the fraction of the object’s square modulus outside the support (obj2_out)

  • CDI runner: correct loading previous object, allow to alter loaded object by random amplitude and/or phase factors.

  • CDI runner: only perform data2cxi with the master job for mpi=run

  • CDI runner: allow to select a subpixel with ‘rebin’ option instead of summing over the rebin range (i.e. skip rather than bin)

  • CDI runner: correctly take into account mask with a user-supplied ROI.

  • Ptycho: added unit test class to compare analysis to reference results

  • GPU auto-selection now based on bandwidth, not FFT

  • Operators now support lazy operations, to store an operator and apply it only when the next non-lazy operator is applied (useful when the CDI or Ptycho object initialisation is delayed)

  • FFT: added a generic interface to perform FFT with the correct scaling in ProcessingUnit-derived classes

  • MPI: when using N>1 tasks with N GPUs per node, the ranking of the GPU is now tweaked so that each MPI task will use a different GPU, with a workaround the unpredictable MPI rank distribution per node, and the fact that GPU device order can be different even for two process on the same node.

  • pycuda>=2021.1 is required to handle array larger than 4 GB (>812**3) (inducer/pycuda#282)

  • [BUG]: correct a CUDA ‘invalid resource handle’ bug when analysing successive scans with multiple GPUs.

Version 2020.2.2 (2020-12-12)#

  • CDI modes analysis: add CUDA version for accelerated phase matching

  • Ptycho: in the CXI output, enforce using a local link for the object virtual dataset, to avoid a broken link. Workaround for h5py/h5py#1546 in h5py<3.0

Version 2020.2.1 (2020-12-05)#

  • CDI runner: correct bug where mask file with uppercase characters was not correctly imported

Version 2020.2 (2020-10-23)#

  • CDI & Ptycho runner: access help text using ‘help’ or ‘–help’ keywords

  • CDI runner: allow processing multiple scans in a more generic way

  • CDI, Ptycho: more accurate reporting of average dt/cycle, including support update, graphical displays.
