Boost.Extension plugins in CCTBX
by Graeme.Winter＠diamond.ac.uk 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi Folks, It seems that Boost includes (or may include) a mechanism to allow compiled plugins see for example http://boost-extension.redshoelace.com/docs/boost/extension/boost_extension… - is this in cctbx? is anyone interested in it being available? It seems useful from where I am sat.

Removal of Boost.Thread support
by Luc Bourhis 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hi fellow cctbx developers, I am going to ditch support for Boost.Thread and therefore to remove the SF computation parallelised with Boost.Thread as well. Parallelisation at the C++ level should be done with OpenMP: Boost.Thread was merely an early experimentation that was kept alive for no particularly good reasons. If anybody disagrees with that move, please voice your opinion now. Best wishes, Luc J. Bourhis

Hi, Is cctbx doing all the calculations in double or single precision? I am intersted in the direct method of the structure factors calculation. >From what I saw it's double precision but I am not sure. Regards, Pascal

from __future__ import division has become compulsory
by Luc Bourhis 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Dear cctbx developers, as discussed here a few days ago, it has been decided that every single Python module must feature from __future__ import division A mega commit of mine has just taken care of existing code. For future modules, libtbx.find_clutter will complain if that line is missing. A script libtbx.add_from_future_import_division is provided that can add that line correctly. The rationale is that: i. as you know, we want to use the so-called new division semantics in cctbx modules (i.e. 1/2 == 0.5 instead of 1/2 == 0 as per the old semantics for the record) ii. the current solution passing -Qnew on the Python command line in the dispatchers libtbx.python, cctbx.python, etc is not always appropriate as there are people out there using cctbx as yet-another-library in a context where some code would not correctly run with the new division semantics, therefore barring the use of -Qnew The only solution to reconcile i. and ii. is therefore to add that __future__ line in every single Python module committed to the cctbx. Note however that the aforementioned dispatchers do still use -Qnew so that Phenix developers do not need to put that very line in their Phenix code. Hopefully, we can make everybody reasonably happy with those compromises. Best wishes, Luc

rt_mx inconsistencies
by Luc Bourhis 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hi fellow cctbx developers, class rt_mx, contrarily to the documentation, does not only hold rotation + translation but any transformation y = M x + t where M is an invertible matrix. As a result, rt_mx can be used to store both space group elements and change-of-basis operators (the latter are in general not rotations). Not the purest design but apart from the recurrent need of improving on the documentation, it has been all right. (1) However, revision 15082 has introduced an inconsistency in the comparison of rt_mx instances related to that divide between rotations and non-rotations. Let's r1 and r2 be rotations and m1 and m2 be non-rotations. After that revision, r1 == r2 works all right r1 == m1 throws an exception m1 == m2 throws an exception As far as I know the problem has been first reported by Phil Evans who provided a very clear regression test. The reason is simple: that revision changed operator== to compare the geometric elements, assuming the compared operators are rotations (and therefore that they have an invariant axis or plane). (2) Another side effect of revision 15082 seems to result in r1 == r2 being true even if r1.t() and r2.t() do not have the same denominator. Before that revision, this comparison used to return false. As part of that revision, one test has been changed from != to == for that very reason. (3) revision 15082 follows revision 14990 that introduces an order on rt_mx intances. That order is used to implement a new symmetry-equivalent pair interaction table and rightly so op1 == op2 is made consistent with op1 < op2 and op1 <= op2 by revision 15082. So I am coming to you to discuss what to do. I am of the opinion that (1) needs fixing. I am also of the opinion that (2) is a good move. Here is what I propose to do: (i) Remove operator <=, >=, <, > from class rt_mx and revert operator== to what it used to be. (ii) Change rot_mx and tr_vec operator== to disregard the value of den() (iii) Introduce a proxy class that wraps around rt_mx and that obeys the ordering introduced by revision 14990 (iv) Rewrite the implementation of the symmetry-equivalent pair interaction table generation to use that proxy instead of directly comparing space group symmetry elements. Basically I propose a very orthogonal design that keeps the core sgtbx pristine except for the fixing of a small but long-standing glitch while encapsulating the feature needed by one single algorithm along with that algorithm. What do you think? Best wishes, Luc Bourhis

cctbx.miller.complete_array() bug?
by Jan Marten Simons 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Hi, I think I found a bug or missing feature in cctbx.miller.complete_array: As I suppose the complete_array function should check if a set of reflections is complete and add missing indices with the specified values. The bug is now when a set contains symmetrically equivalent reflections e.g. in P4 (1, 0, 2) and (0, 1, 2). The sample code below generates this output for the atached data file: --- f_obs read in: Miller array info: None Observation type: xray.amplitude Type of data: double, size=8 Type of sigmas: None Number of Miller indices: 8 Anomalous flag: False Unit cell: (4, 4, 4.44, 90, 90, 90) Space group: P 4 (No. 75) Systematic absences: 0 Centric reflections: 3 Resolution range: 4.44 1.94109 Completeness in resolution range: 1 Completeness with d_max=infinity: 1 (0, 0, 1) 4.10852771683 (0, 1, 0) 4.34856298103 (0, 1, 1) 10.0 (1, 1, 0) 0.911043357914 (1, 1, 1) 9.12523972288 (0, 0, 2) 5.97578446733 (0, 2, 0) 7.10492786733 (1, 0, 2) 2.17485631709 --- f_obs completed: Miller array info: None Observation type: xray.amplitude Type of data: double, size=9 Type of sigmas: None Number of Miller indices: 9 Anomalous flag: False Unit cell: (4, 4, 4.44, 90, 90, 90) Space group: P 4 (No. 75) Systematic absences: 0 Centric reflections: 3 Resolution range: 4.44 1.94109 (0, 0, 1) 4.10852771683 (0, 1, 0) 4.34856298103 (0, 1, 1) 10.0 (1, 1, 0) 0.911043357914 (1, 1, 1) 9.12523972288 (0, 0, 2) 5.97578446733 (0, 2, 0) 7.10492786733 (1, 0, 2) 2.17485631709 (0, 1, 2) 0.0 ---- sample code ------- obs_file = "Model02.hkl" xtal_symm = crystal.symmetry( unit_cell=(4.000, 4.0, 4.44, 90.0, 90.0, 90.0), space_group_symbol="P 4") # load (integral) intensities from diffraction data from iotbx import reflection_file_reader rfl = reflection_file_reader.any_reflection_file("intensities="+obs_file, ensure_read_access=True) I_obs = rfl.as_miller_arrays(crystal_symmetry=xtal_symm, force_symmetry=False, merge_equivalents=True, base_array_info=None)[0] I_obs = I_obs.discard_sigmas() I_obs.merge_equivalents() f_obs = I_obs.as_amplitude_array() print("\n--- f_obs read in:") f_obs.show_comprehensive_summary() f_obs.show_array() d_max, d_min = f_obs.resolution_range() # add missing reflections with 0.0 intensity (= not observed) f_obs = f_obs.complete_array(d_min=d_min, d_max=d_max, new_data_value=0.0, new_sigmas_value=1.0).sort() print("\n--- f_obs completed:") f_obs.show_comprehensive_summary() f_obs.show_array() ---- end sample code ------- As you can see the index (0, 1, 2) is added with zero amplitude where instead the index (1, 0, 2) should be renamed to (0, 1, 2) as those two are symmetrically equivalent for any tetragonal spacegroup (like P4). So to me it looks like the complete_array method does not honor symmetrically equivalent indices at all, where it should imho. What do you think on this issue? With regards, Dipl. Phys. Jan M.
