IsNone is not supported in Brahma

Can you add an issue?

We can implement this with quotations. Is it worth doing this in Brahma?

@IgorErin I'm not sure that I see an alternative way rather that to support IsNone translation in Brahma.

@gsvgit I'm thinking about a standard library for quotas in Brahma. Here you can, for example, iter. And you won't have to hardcode into the compiler.

+        let run = PageRank.run
+
+        let prepareMatrix = PageRank.prepareMatrix


I think that prepareMatrix should at least have some clarifying comments. Also, to run page rank algorithm user always has to call prepareMatrix first. And I don't think he wants to build a lego house every time.

Always calling prepareMatrix before algorithm isn't necessary. User might already have matrix in correct format, for example in benchmarks. User may also want to obtain the prepared matrix and use it elsewhere.

How do we inform the user about this need? What guarantees are there that this condition will be met?

We cannot afford to set such semantic traps at any level of abstraction.

If a precondition arises, it must be expressed in types so that the user is not able to pass an unprepared matrix.

Otherwise, any mention of functional style should be removed from the title of our work "graphblas in functional style".

I believe we do not need to inform user about it because it is not our goal to provide PageRank implementation but to provide enough building blocks to implement it.
This implementation is nothing more but example and test of our api.
It is required to know how PageRank works to implement it using our library, so I think we should not care a lot about specific graph algorithms such as BFS or PageRank inside our library

@gsvgit What do you think?

Ready-to-use garph analysis algorithms should be a part of library. It is the next (possibli highest) leyer of our solution (look at LaGraph). So, implementations of BFS, PAgeRank and other algorithms should be as clear and documented, as possible. Anyway, even basic implmenetation should be a clear anough to be a starting point for those who want ot develop new algorithms using provieed building blocks.

Regarding types. I agree with @IgorErin: if we can express something using types, we should do it. Ofcourse we should find the best way to do it.

Why we should use int instead of bool?

The only reason is that spla and GraphBLAST use int and float matrices on BFS and comparison will be more fair. But now I think it is a strange reason so I'll change that to bool again

I think documentation is needed. At least we should say that matrix has to be prepared first by calling prepareMatrix method.

There are predefined constants in Expecto.

Still, why is it necessary separately? Perhaps we need to create a module with constants and actions on them in order to avoid mistakes in the future?

Abstract types could also be used here, so that they could be used only with the help of this most magical module.

I've always thought about it. Don't you need to make the preparatory methods blocking? Then is it possible to avoid blocking in the [<Benchmark>] itself?

It is a good idea to block after preparotory methods in case some of them are not blocking by itself, but blocking in the [<Benchmark>] is still necessary to wait for all kernels to execute.

Great. But it needs to be even stronger. Abstract types are needed here. Like here in the first example.

https://okmij.org/ftp/Computation/lightweight-static-guarantees.html

I was told that this can be done using signatures. The idea is that we should not allow anyone to use this type unless they have passed some kind of verification. It seems to me that this also applies to disjoint matrices, @artemiipatov .

Of course, this can be disabled during benchmarking.

In the same way, we will add another functional and at the same time zero abstraction. This is exactly what is needed on FHPNC

Signatures are not working?

How much is it necessary to duplicate this? Is it possible to make an extension?

I tried to make extension for specialization of generic MailboxProcessor and failed, as far as I know it is possible only for static members and static method would look not much better than this

I'm all about a separate module for constants. Then it would be possible to take out actions like reciprocal and the like. Then, perhaps such actions will look more meaningful.

Or use predefined ones. Or comment on it. It's just that the number of magic constants scares me.

It still confuses me. And float arithmetic 3 line above too!

kirillgarbar · 2023-12-21T22:38:47Z

Added signature file for PageRank module so it is now impossible to do something withPageRankMatrix from outside.
Had to made module Backend.PageRank not internal because type PageRankMatrix was not visible from Algorithms.PageRank module, all members except for type were made internal instead.
Also, I was forced to do implementation of type as discriminated union due to compiler arguing about type abbreviation.

I don't know how convenient it is to move something that is used only in tests here. But okay

Previously it was in Backend.Utils and used in SpMV for the reason that I forgot. I imagine we can use it somewhere if we know for sure that this is the optimal size for the algorithm

It seems to me that the optimal size should be in benchmarks. And there will be several of them, depending on the hardware and other things. So that it is not just optimal, but everyone can check it relatively quickly in a particular case, just by cloning the repository and writing a couple of commands. But that's sometime later.

If this was hardcoded in SpMV, then shouldn't we make a separate submodule for SpMV in the constants module? Just like you did for PageRank?

It is better to use a constant from the SpMV module in tests than to use a constant from tests in SpMV.

His whole idea is just not to forget where the constants came from or what actions to take with them. In my opinion, putting it in a separate module with an obvious name while providing comments with the reason is very good.

Don't know why I can't reply to a comment about let mutable error.
This variable is created in such way that while cycle will be entered, looks pretty clear to me.
Also, explaining why vectors above are created in such way in a few lines of comments instead of article about PageRank is not possible, implementing PageRank implies that person would understand why such values are used.
Only reasonable thing to do in this case might be a link to the article in the comment
