Array creation

drjit.zeros(dtype, shape=1)

Return a zero-initialized instance of the desired type and shape

This function can create zero-initialized instances of various types. In particular, dtype can be:

• A Dr.Jit array type like drjit.cuda.Array2f. When shape specifies a sequence, it must be compatible with static dimensions of the dtype. For example, dr.zeros(dr.cuda.Array2f, shape=(3, 100)) fails, since the leading dimension is incompatible with drjit.cuda.Array2f. When shape is an integer, it specifies the size of the last (dynamic) dimension, if available.

• A tensorial type like drjit.scalar.TensorXf. When shape specifies a sequence (list/tuple/..), it determines the tensor rank and shape. When shape is an integer, the function creates a rank-1 tensor of the specified size.

• A custom data structure. In this case, drjit.zeros() will invoke itself recursively to zero-initialize each field of the data structure.

• A scalar Python type like int, float, or bool. The shape parameter is ignored in this case.

Note that when dtype refers to a scalar mask or a mask array, it will be initialized to False as opposed to zero.

Parameters:

• dtype (type) – Desired Dr.Jit array type, Python scalar type, or custom data structure.

• shape (Sequence[int] | int) – Shape of the desired array

Returns:

A zero-initialized instance of type dtype.

Return type:

object

drjit.ones(dtype, shape=1)

Return a constant-valued instance of the desired type and shape filled with ones.

This function can create constant-valued instances of various types. In particular, dtype can be:

• A Dr.Jit array type like drjit.cuda.Array2f. When shape

specifies a sequence, it must be compatible with static dimensions of the dtype. For example, dr.ones(dr.cuda.Array2f, shape=(3, 100)) fails, since the leading dimension is incompatible with

drjit.cuda.Array2f. When shape is an integer, it specifies

the size of the last (dynamic) dimension, if available.

• A tensorial type like drjit.scalar.TensorXf. When shape

specifies a sequence (list/tuple/..), it determines the tensor rank and shape. When shape is an integer, the function creates a rank-1 tensor of the specified size.

• A custom data structure. In this case,

drjit.ones() will invoke itself recursively to initialize each field of the data structure.

• A scalar Python type like int, float, or bool. The shape

parameter is ignored in this case.

Parameters:

• dtype (type) – Desired Dr.Jit array type, Python scalar type, or custom data structure.

• shape (Sequence[int] | int) – Shape of the desired array

Returns:

A instance of type dtype filled with ones

Return type:

object

drjit.full(dtype, value, shape=1)

Return a constant-valued instance of the desired type and shape

This function can create constant-valued instances of various types. In particular, dtype can be:

• A Dr.Jit array type like drjit.cuda.Array2f. When shape

specifies a sequence, it must be compatible with static dimensions of the dtype. For example, dr.full(dr.cuda.Array2f, value=1.0, shape=(3, 100)) fails, since the leading dimension is incompatible with drjit.cuda.Array2f. When shape is an integer, it specifies the size of the last (dynamic) dimension, if available.

• A tensorial type like drjit.scalar.TensorXf. When shape

specifies a sequence (list/tuple/..), it determines the tensor rank and shape. When shape is an integer, the function creates a rank-1 tensor of the specified size.

• A custom data structure. In this case,

drjit.full() will invoke itself recursively to initialize each field of the data structure.

• A scalar Python type like int, float, or bool. The shape

parameter is ignored in this case.

Parameters:

• dtype (type) – Desired Dr.Jit array type, Python scalar type, or custom data structure.

• value (object) – An instance of the underlying scalar type (float/int/bool, etc.) that will be used to initialize the array contents.

• shape (Sequence[int] | int) – Shape of the desired array

Returns:

A instance of type dtype filled with value

Return type:

object

drjit.identity(dtype, size=1)

Return the identity array of the desired type and size

This function can create identity instances of various types. In particular, dtype can be:

• A Dr.Jit matrix type (like drjit.cuda.Matrix4f).

• A Dr.Jit complex type (like drjit.cuda.Quaternion4f).

• Any other Dr.Jit array type. In this case this function is equivalent to full(dtype, 1, size)

• A scalar Python type like int, float, or bool. The size parameter is ignored in this case.

Parameters:

• dtype (type) – Desired Dr.Jit array type, Python scalar type, or custom data structure.

• value (object) – An instance of the underlying scalar type (float/int/bool, etc.) that will be used to initialize the array contents.

• size (int) – Size of the desired array | matrix

Horizontal operations

These operations are horizontal in the sense that [..]

drjit.gather(dtype, source, index, active=True)

Gather values from a flat array or nested data structure

This function performs a gather (i.e., indirect memory read) from source at position index. It expects a dtype argument and will return an instance of this type. The optional active argument can be used to disable some of the components, which is useful when not all indices are valid; the corresponding output will be zero in this case.

This operation can be used in the following different ways:

1. When dtype is a 1D Dr.Jit array like drjit.llvm.ad.Float, this operation implements a parallelized version of the Python array indexing expression source[index] with optional masking. Example:

source = dr.cuda.Float([...])
index = dr.cuda.UInt([...]) # Note: negative indices are not permitted
result = dr.gather(dtype=type(source), source=source, index=index)

2. When dtype is a more complex type (e.g. a custom source structure,

   nested Dr.Jit array, tuple, list, dictionary, etc.), the behavior depends:

• When type(source) matches dtype, the the gather operation threads

  through entries and invokes itself recursively. For example, the gather operation in

  result = dr.cuda.Array3f(...)
  index = dr.cuda.UInt([...])
  result = dr.gather(dr.cuda.Array3f, source, index)
  

  is equivalent to

  result = dr.cuda.Array3f(
      dr.gather(dr.cuda.Float, source.x, index),
      dr.gather(dr.cuda.Float, source.y, index),
      dr.gather(dr.cuda.Float, source.z, index)
  )
  

• Otherwise, the operation reconstructs the requested dtype from a flat

  source array, using C-style ordering with a suitably modified index. For example, the gather below reads 3D vectors from a 1D array.

  source = dr.cuda.Float([...])
  index = dr.cuda.UInt([...])
  result = dr.gather(dr.cuda.Array3f, source, index)
  

  and is equivalent to

  result = dr.cuda.Vector3f(
      dr.gather(dr.cuda.Float, source, index*3 + 0),
      dr.gather(dr.cuda.Float, source, index*3 + 1),
      dr.gather(dr.cuda.Float, source, index*3 + 2)
  )
  

Danger

The indices provided to this operation are unchecked. Out-of-bounds reads are undefined behavior (if not disabled via the active parameter) and may crash the application. Negative indices are not permitted.

Parameters:

• dtype (type) – The desired output type (typically equal to type(source), but other variations are possible as well, see the description above.)

• source (object) – The object from which data should be read (typically a 1D Dr.Jit array, but other variations are possible as well, see the description above.)

• index (object) – a 1D dynamic unsigned 32-bit Dr.Jit array (e.g., drjit.scalar.ArrayXu or drjit.cuda.UInt) specifying gather indices. Dr.Jit will attempt an implicit conversion if another type is provided. active

• (object) – an optional 1D dynamic Dr.Jit mask array (e.g., drjit.scalar.ArrayXb or drjit.cuda.Bool) specifying active components. Dr.Jit will attempt an implicit conversion if another type is provided. The default is True.

Returns:

An instance of type dtype containing the result of the gather operation.

Return type:

object

drjit.scatter(target, value, index, active=True)

Scatter values into a flat array or nested data structure

This operation performs a scatter (i.e., indirect memory write) of the value parameter to the target array at position index. The optional active argument can be used to disable some of the individual write operations, which is useful when not all provided values or indices are valid.

This operation can be used in the following different ways:

1. When target is a 1D Dr.Jit array like drjit.llvm.ad.Float, this operation implements a parallelized version of the Python array indexing expression target[index] = value with optional masking. Example:

target = dr.empty(dr.cuda.Float, 1024*1024)
value = dr.cuda.Float([...])
index = dr.cuda.UInt([...]) # Note: negative indices are not permitted
dr.scatter(target, value=value, index=index)

2. When target is a more complex type (e.g. a custom source structure, nested Dr.Jit array, tuple, list, dictionary, etc.), the behavior depends:

• When target and value are of the same type, the scatter operation

  threads through entries and invokes itself recursively. For example, the scatter operation in

  target = dr.cuda.Array3f(...)
  value = dr.cuda.Array3f(...)
  index = dr.cuda.UInt([...])
  dr.scatter(target, value, index)
  

  is equivalent to

  dr.scatter(target.x, value.x, index)
  dr.scatter(target.y, value.y, index)
  dr.scatter(target.z, value.z, index)
  

• Otherwise, the operation flattens the value array and writes it using

  C-style ordering with a suitably modified index. For example, the scatter below writes 3D vectors into a 1D array.

  target = dr.cuda.Float(...)
  value = dr.cuda.Array3f(...)
  index = dr.cuda.UInt([...])
  dr.scatter(target, value, index)
  

  and is equivalent to

  dr.scatter(target, value.x, index*3 + 0)
  dr.scatter(target, value.y, index*3 + 1)
  dr.scatter(target, value.z, index*3 + 2)
  

Danger

The indices provided to this operation are unchecked. Out-of-bounds writes are undefined behavior (if not disabled via the active parameter) and may crash the application. Negative indices are not permitted.

Dr.Jit makes no guarantees about the expected behavior when a scatter operation has conflicts, i.e., when a specific position is written multiple times by a single drjit.scatter() operation.

Parameters:

• target (object) – The object into which data should be written (typically a 1D Dr.Jit array, but other variations are possible as well, see the description above.)

• value (object) – The values to be written (typically of type type(target), but other variations are possible as well, see the description above.) Dr.Jit will attempt an implicit conversion if the the input is not an array type.

• index (object) – a 1D dynamic unsigned 32-bit Dr.Jit array (e.g., drjit.scalar.ArrayXu or drjit.cuda.UInt) specifying gather indices. Dr.Jit will attempt an implicit conversion if another type is provided.

• active (object) – an optional 1D dynamic Dr.Jit mask array (e.g., drjit.scalar.ArrayXb or drjit.cuda.Bool) specifying active components. Dr.Jit will attempt an implicit conversion if another type is provided. The default is True.

drjit.scatter_reduce(op, target, value, index, active=True)

Perform a read-modify-write operation on a flat array or nested data structure

This function performs a read-modify-write operation of the value parameter to the target array at position index. The optional active argument can be used to disable some of the individual write operations, which is useful when not all provided values or indices are valid.

The operation to be applied is defined by tje op argument (see drjit.ReduceOp).

This operation can be used in the following different ways:

1. When target is a 1D Dr.Jit array like drjit.llvm.ad.Float, this operation implements a parallelized version of the expression target[index] = op(value, target[index]) with optional masking. Example:

target = dr.cuda.Float([...])
value = dr.cuda.Float([...])
index = dr.cuda.UInt([...]) # Note: negative indices are not permitted
dr.scatter_reduce(dr.ReduceOp.Add, target, value=value, index=index)

2. When target is a more complex type (e.g. a custom source structure, nested Dr.Jit array, tuple, list, dictionary, etc.), then target and value must be of the same type. The scatter reduce operation threads through entries and invokes itself recursively. For example, the scatter operation in

target = dr.cuda.Array3f(...)
value = dr.cuda.Array3f(...)
index = dr.cuda.UInt([...])
dr.scatter_reduce(dr.ReduceOp.Add, target, value, index)

is equivalent to

dr.scatter_reduce(dr.ReduceOp.Add, target.x, value.x, index)
dr.scatter_reduce(dr.ReduceOp.Add, target.y, value.y, index)
dr.scatter_reduce(dr.ReduceOp.Add, target.z, value.z, index)

Danger

The indices provided to this operation are unchecked. Out-of-bounds writes are undefined behavior (if not disabled via the active parameter) and may crash the application. Negative indices are not permitted.

Parameters:

• op (drjit.ReduceOp) – Operation to be perform in the reduction.

• target (object) – The object into which data should be written (typically a 1D Dr.Jit array, but other variations are possible as well, see the description above.)

• value (object) – The values to be written (typically of type type(target), but other variations are possible as well, see the description above.) Dr.Jit will attempt an implicit conversion if the the input is not an array type.

• index (object) – a 1D dynamic unsigned 32-bit Dr.Jit array (e.g., drjit.scalar.ArrayXu or drjit.cuda.UInt) specifying gather indices. Dr.Jit will attempt an implicit conversion if another type is provided.

• active (object) – an optional 1D dynamic Dr.Jit mask array (e.g., drjit.scalar.ArrayXb or drjit.cuda.Bool) specifying active components. Dr.Jit will attempt an implicit conversion if another type is provided. The default is True.

drjit.ravel(array, order='A')

Convert the input into a contiguous flat array

This operation takes a Dr.Jit array, typically with some static and some dynamic dimensions (e.g., drjit.cuda.Array3f with shape 3xN), and converts it into a flattened 1D dynamically sized array (e.g., drjit.cuda.Float) using either a C or Fortran-style ordering convention.

It can also convert Dr.Jit tensors into a flat representation, though only C-style ordering is supported in this case.

For example,

x = dr.cuda.Array3f([1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6])
y = dr.ravel(x, order=...)

will produce

• [1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6] with order='F' (the default for Dr.Jit arrays),

which means that X/Y/Z components alternate. - [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] with order='C', in which case all X coordinates are written as a contiguous block followed by the Y- and then Z-coordinates.

Danger

Currently C-style ordering is not implemented for tensor types.

Parameters:

• array (drjit.ArrayBase) – An arbitrary Dr.Jit array or tensor

• order (str) – A single character indicating the index order. 'F' indicates column-major/Fortran-style ordering, in which case the first index changes at the highest frequency. The alternative 'C' specifies row-major/C-style ordering, in which case the last index changes at the highest frequency. The default value 'A' (automatic) will use F-style ordering for arrays and C-style ordering for tensors.

Returns:

A dynamic 1D array containing the flattened representation of

array with the desired ordering. The type of the return value depends on the type of the input. When array is already contiguous/flattened, this function returns it without making a copy.

Return type:

object

drjit.unravel(dtype, array, order='F')

Load a sequence of Dr.Jit vectors/matrices/etc. from a contiguous flat array

This operation implements the inverse of drjit.ravel(). In contrast to drjit.ravel(), it requires one additional parameter (dtype) specifying type of the return value. For example,

x = dr.cuda.Float([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
y = dr.unravel(dr.cuda.Array3f, x, order=...)

will produce an array of two 3D vectors with different contents depending on the indexing convention:

• [1, 2, 3] and [4, 5, 6] when unraveled with order='F' (the default for Dr.Jit arrays), and

• [1, 3, 5] and [2, 4, 6] when unraveled with order='C'

Parameters:

• dtype (type) – An arbitrary Dr.Jit array type

• array (drjit.ArrayBase) – A dynamically sized 1D Dr.Jit array instance that is compatible with dtype. In other words, both must have the same underlying scalar type and be located imported in the same package (e.g., drjit.llvm.ad).

• order (str) – A single character indicating the index order. 'F' (the default) indicates column-major/Fortran-style ordering, in which case the first index changes at the highest frequency. The alternative 'C' specifies row-major/C-style ordering, in which case the last index changes at the highest frequency.

Returns:

An instance of type dtype containing the result of the unravel

operation.

Return type:

object

drjit.slice(value, index=None, return_type=None)

Slice a structure of arrays to return a single entry for a given index

This function is the equivalent to __getitem__(index) for the dynamic dimension of a Dr.Jit array or custom source structure. It can be used to access a single element out a structure of arrays for a given index.

The returned object type will differ from the type of the input value as its dynamic dimension will be removed. For static arrays (e.g. drjit.cuda.Array3f) the function will return a Python list. For custom source structure the returned type needs to be specified through the argument return_type.

Parameters:

• value (object) – A dynamically sized 1D Dr.Jit array instance that is compatible with dtype. In other words, both must have the same underlying scalar type and be located imported in the same package (e.g., drjit.llvm.ad).

• index (int) – Index of the entry to be returned in the structure of arrays. When not specified (or None), the provided object must have a dynamic width of 1 and this function will remove the dynamic dimension to this object by casting it into the appropriate type.

• return_type (type) – A return type must be specified when slicing through a custom source structure. Otherwise set to None.

Returns:

Single entry of the structure of arrays.

Return type:

object

Miscellaneous operations

drjit.shape(arg, /)

Return a tuple describing dimension and shape of the provided Dr.Jit array or tensor.

When the arrays is ragged, the implementation signals a failure by returning None. A ragged array has entries of incompatible size, e.g. [[1, 2], [3, 4, 5]]. Note that an scalar entries (e.g. [[1, 2], [3]]) are acceptable, since broadcasting can effectively convert them to any size.

The expressions drjit.shape(arg) and arg.shape are equivalent.

Parameters:

arg (drjit.ArrayBase) – An arbitrary Dr.Jit array or tensor

Returns:

A tuple describing the dimension and shape of the

provided Dr.Jit input array or tensor. When the input array is ragged (i.e., when it contains components with mismatched sizes), the function returns None.

Return type:

tuple | NoneType

drjit.width(arg, /)

Return the width of the provided dynamic Dr.Jit array, tensor, or custom data structure.

The function returns 1 if the input variable isn’t a Dr.Jit array, tensor, or custom data structure.

Parameters:

arg (drjit.ArrayBase) – An arbitrary Dr.Jit array, tensor, or custom data structure

Returns:

The dynamic width of the provided variable.

Return type:

int

drjit.resize(arg, size)

Resize in-place the provided Dr.Jit array, tensor, or custom data structure to a new size.

The provided variable must have a size of zero or one originally otherwise this function will fail.

When the provided variable doesn’t have a size of 1 and its size exactly matches size the function does nothing. Otherwise, it fails.

Parameters:

• arg (drjit.ArrayBase) – An arbitrary Dr.Jit array, tensor, or custom data structure to be resized

• size (int) – The new size

drjit.binary_search(start, end, pred)

Perform binary search over a range given a predicate pred, which monotonically decreases over this range (i.e. max one True -> False transition).

Given a (scalar) start and end index of a range, this function evaluates a predicate floor(log2(end-start) + 1) times with index values on the interval [start, end] (inclusive) to find the first index that no longer satisfies it. Note that the template parameter Index is automatically inferred from the supplied predicate. Specifically, the predicate takes an index array as input argument. When pred is False for all entries, the function returns start, and when it is True for all cases, it returns end.

The following code example shows a typical use case: data contains a sorted list of floating point numbers, and the goal is to map floating point entries of x to the first index j such that data[j] >= threshold (and all of this of course in parallel for each vector element).

dtype = dr.llvm.Float
data = dtype(...)
threshold = dtype(...)

index = dr.binary_search(
    0, len(data) - 1,
    lambda index: dr.gather(dtype, data, index) < threshold
)

Parameters:

• start (int) – Starting index for the search range

• end (int) – Ending index for the search range

• pred (function) – The predicate function to be evaluated

Returns:

Index array resulting from the binary search

drjit.upsample(source, shape=None, scale_factor=None)

Up-sample the input tensor or texture according to the provided shape.

Alternatively to specifying the target shape, a scale factor can be provided.

The behavior of this function depends on the type of source:

1. When source is a Dr.Jit tensor, nearest neighbor up-sampling will use hence the target shape values must be multiples of the source shape values. When scale_factor is used, its values must be integers.

2. When source is a Dr.Jit texture type, the up-sampling will be performed according to the filter mode set on the input texture. Target shape values are not required to be multiples of the source shape values. When scale_factor is used, its values must be integers.

Parameters:

• source (object) – A Dr.Jit tensor or texture type.

• shape (list) – The target shape (optional)

• scale_factor (list) – The scale factor to apply to the current shape (optional)

Returns:

the up-sampled tensor or texture object. The type of the output will be the same as the type of the source.

Return type:

object

drjit.tzcnt(arg, /)

Function dispatching

drjit.switch(indices, funcs, *args)

Dispatches a call to one of the given functions based on the given indices.

def f1(x):
     return x * 10

def f2(x):
     return x * 100

arg = dr.llvm.Float([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0])
indices = dr.llvm.UInt32([0, 1, 1, 0])

res = dr.switch(indices, [f1, f2], arg)

# [10.0, 200.0, 300.0, 40.0]

Parameters:

• indices (drjit.ArrayBase) – a list of indices to choose the functions

• funcs (list) – a list of functions to dispatch based on indices

• args (tuple) – the arguments to pass to the functions

Returns:

the result of the function call dispatched based on the indices

Return type:

object

drjit.dispatch(instances, func, *args)

Dispatches a call to the given function on an array of instances of a class registered to the Dr.Jit registry. The provided function is assumed to take at least one argument that will represent the individual instance of the class this function is recorded on.

This routine can be used to perform dynamic dispatch to Python methods of instances. The code generation underlying Dr.Jit will transform arbitrary sequences of such method calls into unified functions in the generated code. In other words, a single dispatch call that calls two methods is potentially significantly faster than two separate dispatches.

pointers = ... # Dr.Jit pointer array type

def func(self, arg):
    v = self.foo() # call foo() on a single instance at a time
    return v + arg

arg = dr.llvm.Float([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0])

res = dr.dispatch(pointers, func, arg)

Parameters:

• instances (drjit.ArrayBase) – array of pointers to instances to dispatch the given function on.

• func (dict) – function to dispatch on all instances.

• args (tuple) – the arguments to pass to the function.

Returns:

the result of the function evaluated for the given instances.

Return type:

object

Just-in-time compilation

drjit.schedule(*args)

Schedule the provided JIT variable(s) for later evaluation

This function causes args to be evaluated by the next kernel launch. In other words, the effect of this operation is deferred: the next time that Dr.Jit’s LLVM or CUDA backends compile and execute code, they will include the trace of the specified variables in the generated kernel and turn them into an explicit memory-based representation.

Scheduling and evaluation of traced computation happens automatically, hence it is rare that a user would need to call this function explicitly. Explicit scheduling can improve performance in certain cases—for example, consider the following code:

# Computation that produces Dr.Jit arrays
a, b = ...

# The following line launches a kernel that computes 'a'
print(a)

# The following line launches a kernel that computes 'b'
print(b)

If the traces of a and b overlap (perhaps they reference computation from an earlier step not shown here), then this is inefficient as these steps will be executed twice. It is preferable to launch bigger kernels that leverage common subexpressions, which is what drjit.schedule() enables:

a, b = ... # Computation that produces Dr.Jit arrays

# Schedule both arrays for deferred evaluation, but don't evaluate yet
dr.schedule(a, b)

# The following line launches a kernel that computes both 'a' and 'b'
print(a)

# References the stored array, no kernel launch
print(b)

Note that drjit.eval() would also have been a suitable alternative in the above example; the main difference to drjit.schedule() is that it does the evaluation immediately without deferring the kernel launch.

This function accepts a variable-length keyword argument and processes it as follows:

• It recurses into sequences (tuple, list, etc.)

• It recurses into the values of mappings (dict, etc.)

• It recurses into the fields of custom data structures.

During recursion, the function gathers all unevaluated Dr.Jit arrays. Evaluated arrays and incompatible types are ignored. Multiple variables can be equivalently scheduled with a single drjit.schedule() call or a sequence of calls to drjit.schedule(). Variables that are garbage collected between the original drjit.schedule() call and the next kernel launch are ignored and will not be stored in memory.

Parameters:

*args (tuple) – A variable-length list of Dr.Jit array instances, custom data structures, sequences, or mappings. The function will recursively traverse data structures to discover all Dr.Jit arrays.

Returns:

True if a variable was scheduled, False if the operation did not do anything.

Return type:

bool

drjit.eval(*args)

Immediately evaluate the provided JIT variable(s)

This function immediately invokes Dr.Jit’s LLVM or CUDA backends to compile and then execute a kernel containing the trace of the specified variables, turning them into an explicit memory-based representation. The generated kernel(s) will also include previously scheduled computation. The function drjit.eval() internally calls drjit.schedule()—specifically,

dr.eval(arg_1, arg_2, ...)

is equivalent to

dr.schedule(arg_1, arg_2, ...)
dr.eval()

Variable evaluation happens automatically as needed, hence it is rare that a user would need to call this function explicitly. Explicit evaluation can slightly improve performance in certain cases (the documentation of drjit.schedule() shows an example of such a use case.)

This function accepts a variable-length keyword argument and processes it as follows:

• It recurses into sequences (tuple, list, etc.)

• It recurses into the values of mappings (dict, etc.)

• It recurses into the fields of custom data structures.

During recursion, the function gathers all unevaluated Dr.Jit arrays. Evaluated arrays and incompatible types are ignored.

Parameters:

*args (tuple) – A variable-length list of Dr.Jit array instances, custom data structures, sequences, or mappings. The function will recursively traverse data structures to discover all Dr.Jit arrays.

Returns:

True if a variable was evaluated, False if the operation did not do anything.

Return type:

bool

drjit.printf_async(fmt, *args, active=True)

Print the specified variable contents from the kernel asynchronously.

This function inserts a print statement directly into the kernel being generated. Note that this may produce a very large volume of output, and a nonzero active parameter can be supplied to suppress it based on condition.

Parameters:

• fmt (str) – The string to be printed. It might contain format specifiers (e.g. subsequences beginning with %)

• *args (tuple) – Additional array arguments to be formatted and inserted in the printed string replacing their respective specifiers.

• active (bool | drjit.ArrayBase) – Mask array to suppress printing specific elements in the supplied additional arrays.

drjit.graphviz(as_str=False)

Assembles a graphviz diagram for the computational graph trace by the JIT.

Parameters:

as_str (bool) – whether the function should return the graphviz object as a string representation or not.

Returns:

the graphviz obj (or its string representation).

Return type:

object

drjit.label(arg)

Return type:

str

drjit.set_label(*args, **kwargs)

Sets the label of a provided Dr.Jit array, either in the JIT or the AD system.

When a custom data structure is provided, the field names will be used as suffix for the variables labels.

When a mapping is provided, the item’s key will be appended to the label.

Parameters:

• *arg (tuple) – a Dr.Jit array instance and its corresponding label str value.

• **kwarg (dict) – A set of (keyword, object) pairs.

Type traits

The functions in this section can be used to infer properties or types of Dr.Jit arrays.

The naming convention with a trailing _v or _t indicates whether a function returns a value or a type. Evaluation takes place at runtime within Python. In C++, these expressions are all constexpr (i.e., evaluated at compile time.).

drjit.traverse(dtype, mode, flags=<ADFlag.Default: 7>)

Propagate derivatives through the enqueued set of edges in the AD computational graph in the direction specified by mode.

By default, Dr.Jit’s AD system destructs the enqueued input graph during AD traversal. This frees up resources, which is useful when working with large wavefronts or very complex computation graphs. However, this also prevents repeated propagation of gradients through a shared subgraph that is being differentiated multiple times.

To support more fine-grained use cases that require this, the following flags can be used to control what should and should not be destructed:

• ADFlag.ClearNone: clear nothing

• ADFlag.ClearEdges: delete all traversed edges from the computation graph

• ADFlag.ClearInput: clear the gradients of processed input vertices (in-degree == 0)

• ADFlag.ClearInterior: clear the gradients of processed interior vertices (out-degree != 0)

• ADFlag.ClearVertices: clear gradients of processed vertices only, but leave edges intact

• ADFlag.Default: clear everything (default behaviour)

Parameters:

• dtype (type) – defines the Dr.JIT array type used to build the AD graph

• mode (ADMode) – defines the mode traversal (backward or forward)

• flags (ADFlag | int) – flags to control what should and should not be destructed during forward/backward mode traversal.

drjit.enqueue(mode, *args)

Enqueues variable for the subsequent AD traversal.

In Dr.Jit, the process of automatic differentiation is split into two parts:

1. Discover and enqueue the variables to be considered as inputs during the subsequent AD traversal.

2. Traverse the AD graph starting from the enqueued variables to propagate the gradients towards the output variables (e.g. leaf in the AD graph).

This function handles the first part can operate in different modes depending on the specified mode:

• ADMode.Forward: the provided value will be considered as input during the subsequent AD traversal.

• ADMode.Backward: a traversal of the AD graph starting from the provided value will take place to find all potential source of gradients and enqueue them.

For example, a typical chain of operations to forward propagate the gradients from a to b would look as follow:

a = dr.llvm.ad.Float(1.0)
dr.enable_grad(a)
b = f(a) # some computation involving `a`
dr.set_gradient(a, 1.0)
dr.enqueue(dr.ADMode.Forward, a)
dr.traverse(dr.llvm.ad.Float, dr.ADMode.Forward)
grad = dr.grad(b)

It could be the case that f(a) involves other differentiable variables that already contain some gradients. In this situation we can use ADMode.Backward to discover and enqueue them before the traversal.

a = dr.llvm.ad.Float(1.0)
dr.enable_grad(a)
b = f(a, ...) # some computation involving `a` and some hidden variables
dr.set_gradient(a, 1.0)
dr.enqueue(dr.ADMode.Backward, b)
dr.traverse(dr.llvm.ad.Float, dr.ADMode.Forward)
grad = dr.grad(b)

Dr.Jit also provides a higher level API that encapsulate this logic in a few different functions:

• drjit.forward_from(), drjit.forward(), drjit.forward_to()

• drjit.backward_from(), drjit.backward(), drjit.backward_to()

Parameters:

• mode (ADMode) – defines the enqueuing mode (backward or forward)

drjit.suspend_grad(*args, when=True)

Context manager for temporally suspending derivative tracking.

Dr.Jit’s AD layer keeps track of a set of variables for which derivative tracking is currently enabled. Using this context manager is it possible to define a scope in which variables will be subtracted from that set, thereby controlling what derivative terms shouldn’t be generated in that scope.

The variables to be subtracted from the current set of enabled variables can be provided as function arguments. If none are provided, the scope defined by this context manager will temporally disable all derivative tracking.

a = dr.llvm.ad.Float(1.0)
b = dr.llvm.ad.Float(2.0)
dr.enable_grad(a, b)

with suspend_grad(): # suspend all derivative tracking
    c = a + b

assert not dr.grad_enabled(c)

with suspend_grad(a): # only suspend derivative tracking on `a`
    d = 2.0 * a
    e = 4.0 * b

assert not dr.grad_enabled(d)
assert dr.grad_enabled(e)

In a scope where derivative tracking is completely suspended, the AD layer will ignore any attempt to enable gradient tracking on a variable:

a = dr.llvm.ad.Float(1.0)

with suspend_grad():
    dr.enable_grad(a) # <-- ignored
    assert not dr.grad_enabled(a)

assert not dr.grad_enabled(a)

The optional when boolean keyword argument can be defined to specifed a condition determining whether to suspend the tracking of derivatives or not.

a = dr.llvm.ad.Float(1.0)
dr.enable_grad(a)

cond = condition()

with suspend_grad(when=cond):
    b = 4.0 * a

assert dr.grad_enabled(b) == not cond

Parameters:

• *args (tuple) – A variable-length list of differentiable Dr.Jit array instances, custom data structures, sequences, or mappings. The function will recursively traverse data structures to discover all Dr.Jit arrays.

drjit.resume_grad(*args, when=True)

Context manager for temporally resume derivative tracking.

Dr.Jit’s AD layer keeps track of a set of variables for which derivative tracking is currently enabled. Using this context manager is it possible to define a scope in which variables will be added to that set, thereby controlling what derivative terms should be generated in that scope.

The variables to be added to the current set of enabled variables can be provided as function arguments. If none are provided, the scope defined by this context manager will temporally resume derivative tracking for all variables.

a = dr.llvm.ad.Float(1.0)
b = dr.llvm.ad.Float(2.0)
dr.enable_grad(a, b)

with suspend_grad():
    c = a + b

    with resume_grad():
        d = a + b

        e = 2.0 * a
        f = 4.0 * b

assert not dr.grad_enabled(c)
assert dr.grad_enabled(d)
assert dr.grad_enabled(e)
assert not dr.grad_enabled(f)

The optional when boolean keyword argument can be defined to specifed a condition determining whether to resume the tracking of derivatives or not.

a = dr.llvm.ad.Float(1.0)
dr.enable_grad(a)

cond = condition()

with suspend_grad():
    with resume_grad(when=cond):
        b = 4.0 * a

assert dr.grad_enabled(b) == cond

Parameters:

as_str (bool) – whether the function should return the graphviz object as a string representation or not.

Returns:

the graphviz obj (or its string representation).

Return type:

object

class drjit.CustomOp

Base class to implement custom differentiable operations.

Dr.Jit can compute derivatives of builtin operations in both forward and reverse mode. In some cases, it may be useful or even necessary to tell Dr.Jit how a particular operation should be differentiated.

This can be achieved by extending this class, overwriting callback functions that will later be invoked when the AD backend traverses the associated node in the computation graph. This class also provides a convenient way of stashing temporary results during the original function evaluation that can be accessed later on as part of forward or reverse-mode differentiation.

Look at the section on AD custom operations for more detailed information.

A class that inherits from this class should override a few methods as done in the code snippet below. dr.custom() can then be used to evaluate the custom operation and properly attach it to the AD graph.

class MyCustomOp(dr.CustomOp):
    def eval(self, *args):
        # .. evaluate operation ..

    def forward(self):
        # .. compute forward-mode derivatives ..

    def backward(self):
        # .. compute backward-mode derivatives ..

    def name(self):
        return "MyCustomOp[]"

dr.custom(MyCustomOp, *args)

eval(self, *args) → object

Evaluate the custom function in primal mode.

The inputs will be detached from the AD graph, and the output must also be detached.

This method must be overriden, no default implementation provided.

backward()

The name returned by this method is used in the GraphViz output.

If not overriden, this method returns "CustomOp[unnamed]".

the gradient value associated with the output argument.

Parameters:

value (object) – variable this operation depends on implicitly.

add_output(value)

Register an implicit output dependency of the operation on an AD variable.

This function should be called by the

ef eval() implementation when an

operation has a differentiable dependence on an output that is not an return value of the operation (e.g. a private instance variable).

Args:

value (object): variable this operation depends on implicitly.

drjit.custom(cls, *args, **kwargs)

Evaluate a custom differentiable operation (see CustomOp).

Look at the section on AD custom operations for more detailed information.

drjit.wrap_ad(source: str, target: str)

Function decorator that wraps the excecution of a function using a different AD framework to ensure that gradients can flow seamlessly between both frameworks.

Using this decorator it is possible to mix AD-aware computation between two AD frameworks (e.g. Dr.Jit and PyTorch). The wrapped function’s arguments will be casted to the tensor types corresponding to the target framework. Similarily, the return values will be casted to the tensor types corresponding to the source framework.

The decorated function can take an arbitrary number of arguments and have any number of return values.

Currently only the following combination of frameworks are supported:

source	target	Forward AD	Backward AD
drjit	torch	❌	✔️
torch	drjit	❌	✔️

The example below shows how to wrap a Dr.Jit function in a PyTorch script:

# Start with a PyTorch tensor
a = torch.tensor([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], requires_grad=True)

# Some PyTorch arithmetic
b = torch.sin(a)

# Wrap a function performing some arithmetic using Dr.Jit
@dr.wrap_ad(source='torch', target='drjit')
def dr_func(x):
    return dr.cos(x) + dr.power(x, 2)

# Excecute the wrapped function (returns a PyTorch tensor)
c = dr_func(b)

# Some more PyTorch arithmetic
d = torch.tan(c)

# Propagate gradients to variable a (through PyTorch -> Dr.Jit -> PyTorch)
d.sum().backward()

# Inspect the resulting gradients
print(a.grad)

Similarily the following example shows how to wrap PyTorch code into a Dr.Jit script:

# Start with a Dr.Jit tensor
a = dr.llvm.ad.TensorXf([1, 2, 3], shape=[3])
dr.enable_grad(a)

# Some Dr.Jit arithmetic
b = dr.sin(a)

# Wrap a function performing some arithmetic using PyTorch
@dr.wrap_ad(source='drjit', target='torch')
def torch_func(x):
    return torch.cos(x) + torch.sin(x)

# Excecute the wrapped function (returns a Dr.Jit tensor)
c = torch_func(b)

# Some more Dr.Jit arithmetic
d = dr.tan(c)

# Propagate gradients to variable a (through Dr.Jit -> PyTorch -> Dr.Jit)
dr.backward(d)

# Inspect the resulting gradients
print(dr.grad(a))

Danger
