Yadmark
Here we describe the design and API of the yadmark package. The specific purpose of this package is to cointain all the utils to benchmark efficiently yadism. The underlying infrastructure is coming from sqlite3 and git-lfs and it is implemented in the package banana.
Tools
Other tools have been developed for benchmarking, and shipped with banana as CLI. They install together with it, find the description at banana tools.
To install yadmark you can type:
pip install yadmark
Important
Due to a problem in banana the only working version of yadmark can be insalled locally with:
cd benchmarks && pip install -e .
There is not an explicit dependency of yadmark to lhapdf, but to install the external modules it is
needed to have intelled at least the lhapdf python module.
Among the external programs olny APFEL provides a python wrapper, while both QCDNUM and xspace-bench
bindings are available in: N3PDF/external
Yadmark is composed by three subpackages:
benchmarkcontaining the runner, implementing the interface with the abstract class provided inside banana and the external utils that initialise and compute the requested SF using the external programs.datawhich includes the module to generate yadism like observables cards and the module providing the observable database layout.navigatorimplementing the navigator app.
The banana configuration is loaded from banana_cfg.py file.
To run Yadmark see the section of the available runners. Furthermore Yadmark provides also a python interpter called navigator to inspect the cached benchmark reuslts.
