SymbolicExpressionTreeLinearInterpreter

Description (last modified by bburlacu)

Initial tests show that a linear interpreter (as in, non-recursive) can bring up to a 20% increase in speed when using the type coherent grammar.

Initial implementation supports all symbols except time-lagged symbols of any kind (Integral, Derivative, TimeLag) and ADFs.

r9292: Reverted r9290 as it is actually slower than the initial implementation.

comment:8 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9732: Merged trunk changes for HeuristicLab.Encodings.SymbolicExpressionTreeEncoding and HeuristicLab.Problems.DataAnalysis.Symbolic. Replaced prefix iteration of nodes in the linear interpretation with breadth iteration for simplified logic and extra performance. Reversed unnecessary changes to other projects.

comment:9 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9733: Fixed wrong method invocation in SymbolicDataAnalysisExpressionTreeILEmittingInterpreter.cs.

comment:10 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9734: Updated license year, fixed interpreter name (SymbolicDataAnalysisExpressionTreeLinearInterpreter) and updated description. Replaced tabs with spaces in Instruction.cs.

comment:11 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9735: Forgot to add tests subproject to the solution.

r9738: Created separate LinearInstruction class for the linear interpreter. Added properties folder and strong name key.

comment:13 Changed 11 years ago by gkronber

Please accept this ticket. I'd be happy if we can integrate your changes into the trunk soon.

r9739: Added separate SymbolicExpressionTreeLinearCompiler. Updated the SymbolicDataAnalysisExpressionTreeLinearInterpreter:

moved constants evaluation outside of loop
simplified code
renamed EvaluateFast method to Evaluate and made it static.

r9758:

Derived the LinearInstruction class from Instruction.
Added missing symbols to the linear interpreter
Changed description for the linear interpreter
Added more helpful exception message when a symbol is not supported.
Added evaluation test for the linear interpreter

comment:16 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9776: Added support for lagged symbols: TimeLag, Derivative, Integral.

comment:17 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9788: Fixed evaluation bug for LaggedVariable symbols.

comment:18 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9793: Small code improvements.

comment:19 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9815: Code enhancements: changed the SymbolicExpressionTreeLinearCompiler to use and return an array directly and not a list.ToArray(). Replaced GetPrefixSequence lambda with a standalone method and eliminated SetSkip lambda from the PrepareInstructions method. Updated description of SymbolicDataAnalysisExpressionTreeLinearInterpreter.

comment:20 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9818: Changed Evaluate method to pass the row parameter by value and not by reference.

comment:21 Changed 11 years ago by mkommend

r9826: Minor code changes in the linear interpreter branch.

comment:22 Changed 11 years ago by mkommend

r9828: Integrated the linear interpreter in the trunk and restructed interpreter unit tests.

r9831: Deleted the linear interpreter branch.

comment:25 Changed 11 years ago by bburlacu

r9837: Removed SymbolicDataAnalysisSolutionValuesCalculator.cs file that was accidentally copied into the trunk when the linear interpreter was integrated.

A bug was detected in the node impact calculation. The tree length is not calculated correctly and as the linear interpreter uses the tree length to allocate the instructions array, it crashes.
