Releases: finam-ufz/finam
FINAM v0.5.1
FINAM is an open-source component-based model coupling framework for environmental models.
It aims at enabling bi-directional online couplings of models for different compartments like geo-, hydro-, pedo- and biosphere.
The framework is built in Python, with well-defined interfaces for data exchange.
This approach allows for coupling of models irrespective of their internal structure, architecture or programming language.

to_canonical
,from_canonical
andget_transform_to
to grid classes (!255) - Adds support for masked grids using

is_masked_array
,has_masked_values
,filled
,to_compressed
,from_compressed
,check_data_covers_domain
Documentation

FinamNoDataError
in inputs during the connect phase (!257)

Changelog
New scheduling algorithm
- FINAM uses a new scheduling algorithm that allows components to use future data instead of only past/current (!157, !159)
- New adapters to resolve circular coupling through the use of delayed data (!187)
- It is now possible to set up static couplings that run only once and have no explicit time or stepping (!166)
- FINAM can handle different starting times of components by pushing initial data twice (!206):
Once for the common starting time, and once for the actual component time - Components are no longer required to push all outputs on every step (!208)
Data and metadata rework
- Outputs check compatibility between metadata of inputs if there is more than one target input (!104)
- Add data tools function
compatible_units
to check for convertibility (!105) - Components can exchange their starting time through the
Info
object (!111) - Info exchange is automated by the
ConnectHelper
by specifying transfer rules at initialization (!154) Info
now requires time in constructor (can beNone
) (!111)- Scheduler checks for dead links that don't work in terms of push/pull combination (!112)
IInput
,IOutput
andIAdapter
have new internally used propertiesneeds_push
andneeds_pull
(!112)to_xarray
now checks the data shape if the data is not flat (!130)- Outputs can be flagged
static
for data that is only used during initialization, or that is constant (!166) - Inputs can be flagged
static
for constant data (!171) - Outputs accept and convert compatible units, not only exactly equal units (!215)
- Outputs check that subsequent data pushes don't share memory (!217)
- Exchanged
xarray
data has no time coordinate anymore, only a dimension without values (for performance and usability) (!223) - Remove the
xarray
wrapping completely. Use numpy arrays in pintQuantity
(!235) - Outputs and adapters can have a
memory_limit
and write data to disk if the limit is exceeded (!238)
Components
- Add
modules.WeightedSum
for aggregation of multiple inputs (!105) - Add
modules.SimplexNoise
for generating spatio-temporal noise (!131) - Add
modules.TimeTrigger
to forward data from pull-based to push-based components (!131) - Add
modules.ScheduleLogger
to visualize scheduling/module updates through ASCII charts (!160) - Add
modules.DebugPushConsumer
as a push-based variant of the debug consumer (!165) - Add
modules.UserControl
that lets users control FINAM runs from the terminal (!184) modules.DebugConsumer
andmodules.DebugPushConsumer
can use optional callbacks for better debugging (!176)- Components can be renamed using the method
with_name()
(!243)
Adapters
- Add
adapters.Histogram
to extract a histogram from grid values (!182) - Add
adapters.DelayFixed
,adapters.DelayToPull
andadapters.DelayToPush
to resolve circular coupling through the use of delayed data (!187) - Add
adapters.StepTime
for step-wise interpolation (!194) - Restructuring of time integration adapters (!194)
adapters.IntegrateTime
renamed toadapters.AvgOverTime
- Add
adapters.SumOverTime
for sum/Area under Curve integration
- Adapters have a method
finalize()
for cleanup (!226). - Adapters can be renamed using the method
with_name()
(!243)
Other
- Remove module
core
, subpackages now underfinam
(!106) - Rename
IOutput.source_changed()
tosource_updated
(!107) - Rename
LogError
toErrorLogger
(!107) - Rename abstract SDK classes: (!107)
AAdapter
is nowAdapter
AComponent
is nowComponent
ATimeComponent
is nowTimeComponent
- Changed arguments for
create_connector()
(!111)- Removed
required_out_infos
- Renamed
required_in_data
topull_data
- Added arguments to specify info exchange rules
- Removed
- All error types are in module
errors
now, and re-exported at top level (!116) - Overwriting
_validate()
and_finalize()
in components is now mandatory (!156) - Input and output slots can be accessed from components directly, e.g.
comp["A"]
instead ofcomp.inputs["A"]
(!147) - Inputs and outputs can be marked as
static
for constant data without time information (!166, !171) - New helper function
tools.inspect()
to inspect components, adapters and I/O slots (!197) - Publish on PyPI, starting with the next release (!198, !200, !201)
- Added benchmarks for the most important FINAM functions
(see the benchmarks README) - Added profiling for full runs to the CI (!221)
- Optimization of data tool functions, with approx. 20-fold speedup of basic push+pull
(!222, !223, !224, !228, !229, !237). - Add two more log levels:
TRACE
(most verbose) andPROFILE
(betweenDEBUG
andINFO
) (!240)
