WARNING! this is a tweaked version of cadCAD for optimizing performance

Included tweaks

• Using shallow copies instead of deepcopies.
  • Massive performance and memory improvements on simulations with highly nested variables.
  • Known side-effects: keeping track of the history of nested objects must be done manually. Eg, you must pass a copy() or a deepcopy() before mutating it.
• Multiprocessing pools instead of multi-threading pools.
  • Will allow to make full use of the CPUs during the simulations
  • Known side-effects: care must be taken when generating random numbers, else they can be all equal. Mitigate by generating the random state manually: np.random.RandomState().random
• Progress bars for simulation execution

cadCAD is a Python package that assists in the processes of designing, testing and validating complex systems through simulation, with support for Monte Carlo methods, A/B testing and parameter sweeping.

Getting Started

Change Log: ver. 0.4.28

Previous Stable Release (No Longer Supported)

0. Pre-installation Virtual Environments with venv (Optional):

If you wish to create an easy to use virtual environment to install cadCAD within, please use python's built in venv package.

Create a virtual environment:

$ python3 -m venv ~/cadcad

Activate an existing virtual environment:

$ source ~/cadcad/bin/activate
(cadcad) $

Deactivate virtual environment:

(cadcad) $ deactivate
$

1. Installation:

Requires >= Python 3.6.13

Option A: Install Using pip

pip3 install cadCAD

Option B: Build From Source

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
pip3 install dist/*.whl

2. Documentation:

• Simulation Configuration
• Simulation Execution
• Policy Aggregation
• Parameter Sweep
• Display System Model Configurations
