openpathsampling.pathsimulator.CommittorSimulation

class openpathsampling.pathsimulator.CommittorSimulation(storage, engine=None, states=None, randomizer=None, initial_snapshots=None, direction=None)[source]

Committor simulations. What state do you hit from a given snapshot?

Parameters:
  • storage (Storage) – the file to store simulations in
  • engine (DynamicsEngine) – the dynamics engine to use to run the simulation
  • states (list of Volume) – the volumes representing the stable states
  • randomizer (SnapshotModifier) – the method used to modify the input snapshot before each shot
  • initial_snapshots (list of Snapshot) – initial snapshots to use
  • direction (int or None) – if direction > 0, only forward shooting is used, if direction < 0, only backward, and if direction is None, mix of forward and backward. Useful if using no modification on the randomizer.

__str__
classmethod args()

Return a list of args of the __init__ function of a class

Returns:the list of argument names. No information about defaults is included.
Return type:list of str
classmethod base()

Return the most parent class actually derived from StorableObject

Important to determine which store should be used for storage

Returns:the base class
Return type:type
base_cls

Return the base class

Returns:the base class
Return type:type

base()

base_cls_name

Return the name of the base class

Returns:the string representation of the base class
Return type:str
cls

Return the class name as a string

Returns:the class name
Return type:str
static count_weaks()

Return number of objects subclassed from StorableObject still in memory

This includes objects not yet recycled by the garbage collector.

Returns:dict of str – the dictionary which assigns the base class name of each references objects the integer number of objects still present
Return type:int
default_name

Return the default name.

Usually derived from the objects class

Returns:the default name
Return type:str
classmethod descendants()

Return a list of all subclassed objects

Returns:list of subclasses of a storable object
Return type:list of type
fix_name()

Set the objects name to be immutable.

Usually called after load and save to fix the stored state.

classmethod from_dict(dct)[source]

Reconstruct an object from a dictionary representaiton

Parameters:dct (dict) – the dictionary containing a state representaion of the class.
Returns:the reconstructed storable object
Return type:openpathsampling.netcdfplus.StorableObject
idx(store)

Return the index which is used for the object in the given store.

Once you store a storable object in a store it gets assigned a unique number that can be used to retrieve the object back from the store. This function will ask the given store if the object is stored if so what the used index is.

Parameters:store (openpathsampling.netcdfplus.ObjectStore) – the store in which to ask for the index
Returns:the integer index for the object of it exists or None else
Return type:int or None
is_named

True if this object has a custom name.

This distinguishes default algorithmic names from assigned names.

name

Return the current name of the object.

If no name has been set a default generated name is returned.

Returns:the name of the object
Return type:str
named(name)

Name an unnamed object.

This only renames the object if it does not yet have a name. It can be used to chain the naming onto the object creation. It should also be used when naming things algorithmically: directly setting the .name attribute could override a user-defined name.

Parameters:name (str) – the name to be used for the object. Can only be set once

Examples

>>> import openpathsampling as p
>>> full = p.FullVolume().named('myFullVolume')
static objects()

Returns a dictionary of all storable objects

Returns:dict of str – a dictionary of all subclassed objects from StorableObject. The name points to the class
Return type:type
run(n_per_snapshot, as_chain=False)

Run the simulation.

Parameters:
  • n_per_snapshot (int) – number of shots per snapshot
  • as_chain (bool) – if as_chain is False (default), then the input to the modifier is always the original snapshot. If as_chain is True, then the input to the modifier is the previous (modified) snapshot. Useful for modifications that can’t cover the whole range from a given snapshot.
save_initial_step()

Save the initial state as an MCStep to the storage

static set_observer(active)

(De-)Activate observing creation of storable objects

This can be used to track which storable objects are still alive and hence look for memory leaks and inspect caching. Use openpathsampling.netcdfplus.base.StorableObject.count_weaks() to get the current summary of created objects

Parameters:active (bool) – if True then observing is enabled. False disables observing. Per default observing is disabled.
sync_storage()

Will sync all collective variables and the storage to disk

to_dict()[source]

Convert object into a dictionary representation

Used to convert the dictionary into JSON string for serialization

Returns:the dictionary representing the (immutable) state of the object
Return type:dict
