rebop 0.9.7

A fast stochastic simulator for chemical reaction networks
Documentation
//! rebop is a fast stochastic simulator for well-mixed chemical
//! reaction networks.
//!
//! Performance and ergonomics are taken very seriously.  For this reason,
//! two independent APIs are provided to describe and simulate reaction
//! networks:
//!
//! * a macro-based DSL implemented by [`define_system`], usually the
//! most efficient, but that requires to compile a rust program;
//! * a function-based API implemented by the module [`gillespie`], also
//! available through Python bindings.  This one does not require a rust
//! compilation and allows the system to be defined at run time.  It is
//! typically 2 or 3 times slower than the macro DSL, but still faster
//! than all other software tried.
//!
//! # The macro DSL
//!
//! It currently only supports reaction rates defined by the law of mass
//! action.  The following macro defines a dimerization reaction network
//! naturally:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rebop::define_system;
//! define_system! {
//!     r_tx r_tl r_dim r_decay_mRNA r_decay_prot;
//!     Dimers { gene, mRNA, protein, dimer }
//!     transcription   : gene      => gene + mRNA      @ r_tx
//!     translation     : mRNA      => mRNA + protein   @ r_tl
//!     dimerization    : 2 protein => dimer            @ r_dim
//!     decay_mRNA      : mRNA      =>                  @ r_decay_mRNA
//!     decay_protein   : protein   =>                  @ r_decay_prot
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! To simulate the system, put this definition in a rust code file and
//! instantiate the problem, set the parameters, the initial values, and
//! launch the simulation:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use rebop::define_system;
//! # define_system! {
//! #     r_tx r_tl r_dim r_decay_mRNA r_decay_prot;
//! #     Dimers { gene, mRNA, protein, dimer }
//! #     transcription   : gene      => gene + mRNA      @ r_tx
//! #     translation     : mRNA      => mRNA + protein   @ r_tl
//! #     dimerization    : 2 protein => dimer            @ r_dim
//! #     decay_mRNA      : mRNA      =>                  @ r_decay_mRNA
//! #     decay_protein   : protein   =>                  @ r_decay_prot
//! # }
//! let mut problem = Dimers::new();
//! problem.r_tx = 25.0;
//! problem.r_tl = 1000.0;
//! problem.r_dim = 0.001;
//! problem.r_decay_mRNA = 0.1;
//! problem.r_decay_prot = 1.0;
//! problem.gene = 1;
//! problem.advance_until(1.0);
//! println!("t = {}: dimer = {}", problem.t, problem.dimer);
//! ```
//!
//! Or for the classic SIR example:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rebop::define_system;
//!
//! define_system! {
//!     r_inf r_heal;
//!     SIR { S, I, R }
//!     infection   : S + I => 2 I  @ r_inf
//!     healing     : I     => R    @ r_heal
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     let mut problem = SIR::new();
//!     problem.r_inf = 1e-4;
//!     problem.r_heal = 0.01;
//!     problem.S = 999;
//!     problem.I = 1;
//!     println!("time,S,I,R");
//!     for t in 0..250 {
//!         problem.advance_until(t as f64);
//!         println!("{},{},{},{}", problem.t, problem.S, problem.I, problem.R);
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! which can produce an output similar to this one:
//!
//! ![Typical SIR output](https://github.com/Armavica/rebop/blob/main/sir.png?raw=true)
//!
//! # Python bindings
//!
//! This API shines through the Python bindings which allow one to
//! define a model easily:
//!
//! ```python
//! import rebop
//!
//! sir = rebop.Gillespie()
//! sir.add_reaction(1e-4, ['S', 'I'], ['I', 'I'])
//! sir.add_reaction(0.01, ['I'], ['R'])
//! print(sir)
//!
//! ds = sir.run({'S': 999, 'I': 1}, tmax=250, nb_steps=250)
//! ```
//!
//! You can test this code by installing `rebop` from PyPI with
//! `pip install rebop`. To build the Python bindings from source,
//! the simplest is to clone this git repository and use `maturin
//! develop`.
//!
//! # The traditional API
//!
//! The function-based API underlying the Python package is also available
//! from Rust, if you want to be able to define models at run time (instead
//! of at compilation time with the macro DSL demonstrated above).
//! The SIR model is defined as:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rebop::gillespie::{Gillespie, Rate};
//!
//! let mut sir = Gillespie::new([999, 1, 0], false);
//! //                           [  S, I, R]
//! // S + I => 2 I with rate 1e-4
//! sir.add_reaction(Rate::lma(1e-4, [1, 1, 0]), [-1, 1, 0]);
//! // I => R with rate 0.01
//! sir.add_reaction(Rate::lma(0.01, [0, 1, 0]), [0, -1, 1]);
//!
//! println!("time,S,I,R");
//! for t in 0..250 {
//!     sir.advance_until(t as f64);
//!     println!("{},{},{},{}", sir.get_time(), sir.get_species(0), sir.get_species(1), sir.get_species(2));
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Performance
//!
//! Performance is taken very seriously, and as a result, rebop
//! outperforms every other package and programming language that we
//! tried.
//!
//! *Disclaimer*: Most of this software currently contains much more
//! features than rebop (e.g. spatial models, custom reaction rates,
//! etc.).  Some of these features might have required them to make
//! compromises on speed.  Moreover, as much as we tried to keep the
//! comparison fair, some return too much or too little data, or write
//! them on disk.  The baseline that we tried to approach for all these
//! programs is the following: *the model was just modified, we want
//! to simulate it `N` times and print regularly spaced measurement
//! points*.  This means that we always include initialization or
//! (re-)compilation time if applicable.  We think that it is the most
//! typical use-case of a researcher who works on the model.  This
//! benchmark methods allows to record both the initialization time
//! (y-intercept) and the simulation time per simulation (slope).
//!
//! Many small benchmarks on toy examples are tracked to guide the
//! development.  To compare the performance with other software,
//! we used a real-world model of low-medium size (9 species and 16
//! reactions): the Vilar oscillator (*Mechanisms of noise-resistance
//! in genetic oscillators*, Vilar et al., PNAS 2002).  Here, we
//! simulate this model from `t=0` to `t=200`, reporting the state at
//! time intervals of `1` time unit.
//!
//! ![Vilar oscillator benchmark](https://github.com/Armavica/rebop/blob/main/benches/vilar/vilar.png?raw=true)
//!
//! We can see that rebop's macro DSL is the fastest of all, both in
//! time per simulation, and with compilation time included.  The second
//! fastest is rebop's traditional API invoked by convenience through
//! the Python bindings.
