DvG_RingBuffer
Provides a numpy ring buffer at a fixed memory address to allow for
significantly sped up numpy
, sigpy
, numba
& pyFFTW
calculations.
Installation::
pip install dvg-ringbuffer
Based on:
https://pypi.org/project/numpy_ringbuffer/ by Eric Wieser.
``DvG_RingBuffer`` can be used as a drop-in replacement for
``numpy_ringbuffer`` and provides several optimizations and extra features,
but requires Python 3.
If and only if the ring buffer is completely full, will it return its array
data as a contiguous C-style numpy array at a single fixed memory address per
ring buffer instance. It does so by unwrapping the discontiguous ring buffer
array into a second extra unwrap buffer that is a private member of the ring
buffer class. This is advantegeous for other accelerated computations by, e.g.,
numpy
, sigpy
, numba
& pyFFTW
, that benefit from being fed with
contiguous arrays at the same memory address each time again, such that compiler
optimizations and data planning are made possible.
When the ring buffer is not completely full, it will return its data as a
contiguous C-style numpy array, but at different memory addresses. This is how
the original numpy-buffer
always operates.
Commonly, collections.deque()
is used to act as a ring buffer. The
benefits of a deque is that it is thread safe and fast (enough) for most
situations. However, there is an overhead whenever the deque -- a list-like
container -- needs to be transformed into a numpy array. Because
DvG_RingBuffer
already returns numpy arrays it will outperform a
collections.deque()
easily, tested to be a factor of ~60.
.. warning::
* This ring buffer is not thread safe. You'll have to implement your own
mutex locks when using this ring buffer in multithreaded operations.
* The data array that is returned by a full ring buffer is a pass by
reference of the *unwrap* buffer. It is not a copy! Hence, changing
values in the returned data array is identical to changing values in the
*unwrap* buffer.
API
class RingBuffer(capacity, dtype=np.float64, allow_overwrite=True)
Create a new ring buffer with the given capacity and element type.
Args:
capacity (``int``):
The maximum capacity of the ring buffer
dtype (``data-type``, optional):
Desired type of buffer elements. Use a type like ``(float, 2)``
to produce a buffer with shape ``(capacity, 2)``.
Default: ``np.float64``
allow_overwrite (``bool``, optional):
If ``False``, throw an IndexError when trying to append to an
already full buffer.
Default: ``True``
Methods
-
clear()
-
append(value)
Append a single value to the ring buffer.
.. code-block:: python
rb = RingBuffer(3, dtype=np.int) # []
rb.append(1) # [1]
rb.append(2) # [1, 2]
rb.append(3) # [1, 2, 3]
rb.append(4) # [2, 3, 4]
-
appendleft(value)
Append a single value to the ring buffer from the left side.
.. code-block:: python
rb = RingBuffer(3, dtype=np.int) # []
rb.appendleft(1) # [1]
rb.appendleft(2) # [2, 1]
rb.appendleft(3) # [3, 2, 1]
rb.appendleft(4) # [4, 3, 2]
-
extend(values)
Extend the ring buffer with a list of values.
.. code-block:: python
rb = RingBuffer(3, dtype=np.int) # []
rb.extend([1]) # [1]
rb.extend([2, 3]) # [1, 2, 3]
rb.extend([4, 5, 6, 7]) # [5, 6, 7]
-
extendleft(values)
Extend the ring buffer with a list of values from the left side.
.. code-block:: python
rb = RingBuffer(3, dtype=np.int) # []
rb.extendleft([1]) # [1]
rb.extendleft([3, 2]) # [3, 2, 1]
rb.extendleft([7, 6, 5, 4]) # [7, 6, 5]
-
pop()
Remove the right-most item from the ring buffer and return it.
-
