Front end API

Table of Contents

1 Coding conventions

  • integer types will be defined using types given in stdint.h
  • pointers are always initialized to NULL
  • when memory is freed, the pointer is set to NULL
  • assert.h should be used extensively
  • variable names are in lower case
  • #define constants are in upper case
  • structs are suffixed by _s
  • types are suffixed by _t
  • API calls return trexio_exit_code (except for trexio_open function)

1.1 Memory allocation

Memory allocation of structures can be facilitated by using the following macros, which ensure that the size of the allocated object is the same as the size of the data type pointed by the pointer. For CALLOC, we allocate N+1 to avoid errors when N=0. 

#define MALLOC(T) (T*) malloc (sizeof(T))
#define CALLOC(N,T) (T*) calloc ( (N)+1 , sizeof(T) )

When a pointer is freed, it should be set to NULL. This can be facilitated by the use of the following macro: 

#define FREE(X) { free(X) ; (X)=NULL; }

The maximum string size for the filenames is 4096 characters. 

#define TREXIO_MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH 4096

2 Front end

All calls to TREXIO are thread-safe. TREXIO front end is modular, which simplifies implementation of new back ends.

2.1.1 Decoding errors

The trexio_string_of_error converts an exit code into a string. The string is assumed to be large enough to contain the error message (typically 128 characters).

To decode the error messages, trexio_string_of_error converts an error code into a string.

2.2 Back ends

TREXIO has several back ends:

  1. TREXIO_HDF5 relies on extensive use of the HDF5 library and the associated file format. The HDF5 file is binary and tailored to high-performance I/O. This back end is the default one. HDF5 can be compiled with MPI for parallel I/O. Note, that HDF5 has to be downloaded and installed independently of TREXIO, which may cause some obstacles, especially when the user is not allowed to install external software. The produced files usually have .h5 extension.
  2. TREXIO_TEXT relies on basic file I/O in C, namely fopen, fclose, fprintf, fscanf etc. from stdio.h library. This back end is not optimized for performance. It is supposed to be used for debug purposes or, for example, when the user wants to modify some data manually within the file. This back end is supposed to work "out-of-the-box" since there are no external dependencies, which might be useful for users that do not have access to HDF5 library. The produced files usually have .txt extension.

TREXIO_AUTO can be provided as a back end when opening an existing TREXIO file in read-only 'r' mode. In this case, TREXIO will try to automatically detect the back end, which should be used to open the file.

Additional back ends can be implemented thanks to the modular nature of the front end. This can be achieved by adding a new case (corresponding to the desired back end) in the front-end switch. Then the corresponding back-end has/read/write functions has to be implemented. For example, see the commented lines that correspond to the TREXIO_JSON back end (not implemented yet).

Note: It is important to increment the value of TREXIO_INVALID_BACK_END when a new back end is implemented. Otherwise, it will not be available.

2.2.1 C

typedef int32_t back_end_t;

#define TREXIO_HDF5             ( (back_end_t) 0 )
#define TREXIO_TEXT             ( (back_end_t) 1 )
#define TREXIO_INVALID_BACK_END ( (back_end_t) 2 )
#define TREXIO_AUTO             TREXIO_INVALID_BACK_END
/*#define TREXIO_JSON             ( (back_end_t) 2 )*/

#define TREXIO_DELIM            "\n"

The helper function trexio_has_back_end returns true if TREXIO compilation includes a back end provided as an argument; false otherwise. This is useful due to the fact that HDF5 back end can be disabled at configure step. 

bool trexio_has_backend(back_end_t back_end);
bool trexio_has_back_end(back_end_t back_end);

bool trexio_has_back_end(back_end_t back_end) {
  switch (back_end) {
    case TREXIO_TEXT:
      return true;
    case TREXIO_HDF5:
#ifdef HAVE_HDF5
      return true;
#else
      return false;
#endif
  }
  return false;
}

bool trexio_has_backend(back_end_t back_end) {
  return trexio_has_back_end(back_end);
}

2.2.2 Fortran

  integer(trexio_back_end_t), parameter :: TREXIO_HDF5 = 0
  integer(trexio_back_end_t), parameter :: TREXIO_TEXT = 1
! integer(trexio_back_end_t), parameter :: TREXIO_JSON = 2
  integer(trexio_back_end_t), parameter :: TREXIO_INVALID_BACK_END = 2
  integer(trexio_back_end_t), parameter :: TREXIO_AUTO = TREXIO_INVALID_BACK_END

The function below is a Fortran interface for the aforementioned C-compatible trexio_has_back_end function. 

interface
   logical(c_bool) function trexio_has_back_end (back_end) bind(C)
     use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding
     import
     integer(trexio_back_end_t), intent(in), value :: back_end
   end function trexio_has_back_end
end interface

interface
   logical(c_bool) function trexio_has_backend (back_end) bind(C)
     use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding
     import
     integer(trexio_back_end_t), intent(in), value :: back_end
   end function trexio_has_backend
end interface

Originally, the function was named trexio_has_backend. For consistency, in version 2.2 it was renamed trexio_has_back_end.

2.2.3 Python

# define TREXIO back ends
TREXIO_HDF5 = 0
TREXIO_TEXT = 1
#TREXIO_JSON = 2
TREXIO_INVALID_BACK_END = 2
TREXIO_AUTO = TREXIO_INVALID_BACK_END

2.3 Read/write behavior

Every time a reading function is called, the data is read from the disk. If data needs to be cached, this is left to the user of the library.

Writing to TREXIO files is done with transactions (all-or-nothing effect). File writes are attempted by calling explicitly the write (TREXIO_HDF5) or flush (TREXIO_TEXT) function, or when the TREXIO file is closed. If writing is impossible because the data is not valid, no data is written.

The order in which the data is written is not necessarily consistent with the order in which the function calls were made.

The TREXIO files are supposed to be opened by only one program at a time: if the same TREXIO file is modified simultaneously by multiple concurrent programs, the behavior is not specified.

2.4 TREXIO file type

trexio_s is the the main type for TREXIO files, visible to the users of the library. This type is kept opaque, and all modifications to the files will be necessarily done through the use of functions, taking such a type as argument.

File creation and opening functions will return TREXIO file handles, namely pointers to trexio_s types. All functions accessing to the TREXIO files will have as a first argument the TREXIO file handle. 

typedef struct trexio_s trexio_t;

struct trexio_s {
  char              file_name[TREXIO_MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH];
  pthread_mutex_t   thread_lock;
  back_end_t        back_end;
  char              mode;
  bool              one_based;
  int32_t           state;
  int16_t           version_major;
  int16_t           version_minor;
  int16_t           version_patch;
  char              version[16];
};

File class for the Python API is defined below. Use of Python class make it more intuitive and more python-ic to work with TREXIO files. 

class File:
    """trexio.File class.

2.5 File opening

trexio_open creates a new TREXIO file or opens the existing one.

Input parameters:

  1. file_name - string containing file name
  2. mode - character containing open mode (see below)
    • 'w' - (write) creates a new file as READWRITE
    • 'r' - (read) opens existing file as READONLY
    • 'u' - (unsafe) opens existing file as READWRITE with the possibility to overwrite blocks and delete full groups.
  3. back_end - integer number (or the corresponding global parameter) specifying the back end
    • TREXIO_HDF5 - for HDF5 back end (integer alternative: 0)
    • TREXIO_TEXT - for TEXT back end (integer alternative: 1)
    • TREXIO_AUTO - to automatically detect the applicable back end

Output:

  • Pointer to the trexio_t (struct) file handle.

Upon creation of the TREXIO file, the package_version attribute of the metadata group is set to the TREXIO_PACKAGE_VERSION string. This attribute is not automatically updated when the file is modified with newer versions. However, this can be done manually by the user in unsafe mode.

Note: internal consistency is not guaranteed once the file has been modified in 'u' (unsafe) mode. Upon the first unsafe call to trexio_open the unsafe attribute of the metadata group will be set to 1 (true) in order to indicate that the file might be inconsistent due to the use of 'u' mode.

Note: the file_name in TEXT back end actually corresponds to the name of the directory where .txt data files are stored. The actual name of each .txt file corresponds to the group name provided in trex.config (e.g. nucleus.txt for nuclei-related data). These names are populated by the generator.py (i.e. they are hard-coded), which is why the user should tend to avoid renaming the .txt data files.

2.7 File existence

trexio_inquire check whether TREXIO file exists.

input parameters: file_name - string containing file name

output: trexio_exit_code exit code.

It returns:

  • TREXIO_SUCCESS if the file_name exists and if it correspond to a valid TREXIO file (i.e. a directory OR an HDF5 file)
  • TREXIO_FILE_ERROR if file_name exists but it is not a TREXIO file
  • TREXIO_FAILURE otherwise

Also, there is an implicit way to have the aforementioned functionality. Attempt to open a non-existing file with trexio_open function will result in a TREXIO_OPEN_ERROR exit code (see the modified value that has been passed as a 4-th argument to trexio_open).

You can see examples of both functionalities in test_f.f90 (search for calls with _void suffix).

2.7.1 C

{

  if (file_name == NULL || file_name[0] == '\0') return TREXIO_INVALID_ARG_1;

  /* First check if the TREXIO file exists and if it is a directory */

3 Templates for front end

3.1 Description

Consider the following block of trex.json: 

{
  "nucleus": {
      "num"                : [ "int"  , [                     ] ]
    , "charge"             : [ "float", [ "nucleus.num"       ] ]
    , "coord"              : [ "float", [ "nucleus.num", "3"  ] ]
    , "label"              : [ "str" ,  [ "nucleus.num"       ] ]
    , "point_group"        : [ "str"  , [                     ] ]
  }
}

TREXIO is generated automatically by the generator.py Python script based on the tree-like configuration provided in the trex.json file. Because of that, generalized templates can be implemented and re-used. This approach minimizes the number of bugs as compared with manual copy-paste-modify scheme.

All templates presented below use the $var$ notation to indicate the variable, which will be replaced by the generator.py. Sometimes the upper case is used, i.e. $VAR$ (for example, in #define statements). More detailed description of each variable can be found below:

Template variable Description Example
$group$ Name of the group nucleus
$group_num$ Name of the numerical attribute (scalar) nucleus_num
$group_str$ Name of the string attribute (scalar) nucleus_point_group

$group_dset_format_scanf$ Input type of the dataset in TEXT [fscanf] %lf
$group_dset_format_printf$ Output type of the dataset in TEXT [fprintf] %24.16e
$group_dset_dtype_default$ Default datatype of the dataset [C] double/int32_t
$group_dset_dtype_single$ Single precision datatype of the dataset [C] float/int32_t
$group_dset_dtype_double$ Double precision datatype of the dataset [C] double/int64_t
$group_dset_f_dtype_default$ Default datatype of the dataset [Fortran] real(c_double)/integer(c_int32_t)
$group_dset_f_dtype_single$ Single precision datatype of the dataset [Fortran] real(c_float)/integer(c_int32_t)
$group_dset_f_dtype_double$ Double precision datatype of the dataset [Fortran] real(c_double)/integer(c_int64_t)
$group_dset_f_dims$ Dimensions in Fortran (:,:)
$group_dset_py_dtype$ Standard datatype of the dataset [Python] float/int
$default_prec$ Default precision for read/write without suffix [C] 64/32
$is_index$ Expands to true if dataset has a type index [C] true/false

Some of the aforementioned template variables with group_dset prefix are duplicated with group_num prefix, e.g. you might find \(group_num_dtype_double\) in the templates corresponding to numerical attributes. The expanding values are the same as for group_dset and thus are not listed in the table above.

Note: parent group name is always added to the child objects upon construction of TREXIO (e.g. num of nucleus group becomes nucleus_num and should be accessed accordingly within TREXIO).

TREXIO generator parses the trex.json file. TREXIO operates with names of variables based on the 1-st (parent group) and 2-nd (child object) levels of trex.json . The parsed data is divided in 2 parts:

  1. Single attributes. These can be numerical values or strings.
  2. Datasets. These can be vectors, matrices or tensors. The types are indicated in trex.json. Currently supported data types: int, float and strings.

For each of the aforementioned objects, TREXIO provides has, read and write functionality. TREXIO supports I/O with single or double precision for integer and floating point numbers.

Note: single integer attributes that contain num in their name (e.g. nucleus_num) are considered dimensioning variables and cannot be negative or 0. An attempt to write negative or 0 value will result in TREXIO_INVALID_ARG_2 exit code.

3.2 Templates for front end has/read/write a single numerical attribute

3.2.1 Introduction

This section concerns API calls related to numerical attributes, namely single value of int/float types.

Function name Description Precision
trexio_has_$group_num$ Check if an attribute exists in a file ---
trexio_read_$group_num$ Read a attribute Single
trexio_write_$group_num$ Write a attribute Single
trexio_read_$group_num$_32 Read a attribute Single
trexio_write_$group_num$_32 Write a attribute Single
trexio_read_$group_num$_64 Read a attribute Double
trexio_write_$group_num$_64 Write a attribute Double

3.2.2 C templates for front end

The C templates that correspond to each of the abovementioned functions can be found below. First parameter is the TREXIO file handle. Second parameter is the variable to be written/read to/from the TREXIO file (except for trexio_has_ functions). Suffixes _32 and _64 correspond to API calls dealing with single and real(cdouble), respectively. The basic (non-suffixed) API call on dimensioning variables deals with single precision (see Table above).

3.4 Templates for front end has/read/write a dataset of sparse data

3.4.1 Introduction

Sparse data structures are used typically for large tensors such as two-electron integrals. For example, in the trex.json file sparse arrays appear as for the eri : 

"ao_2e_int"  : {
  "eri"      : [ "float sparse", [ "ao.num", "ao.num", "ao.num", "ao.num" ] ]
}

The electron repulsion integral (eri) \(\langle ij | kl \rangle\) is represented as a quartet of integers \((i,j,k,l)\) and a floating point value.

To store \(N\) integrals in the file, we store

  • An array of quartets of integers
  • An array of values (floats)

Both arrays have the same size, \(N\), the number of non-zero integrals. Knowing the maximum dimensions allows to check that the integers are in a valid range, and also lets the library choose the smallest integer representation to compress the storage.

Fortran uses 1-based array indexing, while C uses 0-based indexing. Internally, we use a 0-based representation but the Fortran binding does the appropriate conversion when reading or writing.

As the number of integrals to store can be prohibitively large, we provide the possibility to read/write the integrals in chunks. So the functions take two extra parameters:

  • offset_file : how many integrals in the file should be skipped when reading/writing. An offset of zero implies to read the first integral.
  • buffer_size : the number of integrals to read/write. If EOF is encountered upon reading, the buffer_size is overwritten with the number of integrals that have been read before EOF and the trexio_read_ function return TREXIO_END exit code instead of TREXIO_SUCCESS.

The storage of int indices is internally compressed based on the maximum possible value of an index, which is derived from the corresponding dimension of the sparse array (e.g. ao_num is the upper bound of indices in the aforementioned ao_2e_int_eri dataset). The upper bounds for different int types (e.g. uint16_t) can be found in the in the stdint.h C library. Currently implemented list of compressions based on the upper bound of indices can be found below:

Max value of indices Internal representation (in the TREXIO file)
UINT8_MAX (e.g. \(< 255\)) 8-bit unsigned int
UINT16_MAX (e.g. \(< 65535\)) 16-bit unsigned int
Otherwise (e.g. \(\ge 65535\)) 32-bit signed int

This section concerns API calls related to sparse data structures.

4 Source code for the determinant part

Storage of the determinants is a particular case, which requires special treatment, but has to be coded only once (since there is only one group that corresponds to it). Thus, there is no need to auto-generate this part via templates.

This section concerns API calls related to Slater determinants.

5 General helper functions

This section contains general helper functions like trexio_info.

trexio_info prints information about the TREXIO configuration (see config.h file). In particular:

  1. TREXIO_PACKAGE_VERSION [string]
  2. HAVE_HDF5 [bool]
  3. HDF5_VERSION [string] (optional, only if HAVE_HDF5 is true)
  4. TREXIO_GIT_HASH [string]

trexio_mark_safety checks if the file has been open in UNSAFE mode. If it was, the metadata_unsafe attribute can be overwritten with the value provided in a second argument of the function. Since metadata_unsafe is set to 1 (true) upon the first opening of the file in UNSAFE mode, this value is immutable. However, if the user validated that the file is correct (e.g. using trexio-tools), then value of the metadata_unsafe attribute can be changed using the aforementioned function.

trexio_to_orbital_list function converts the list of integer bit fields of a given determinant into a list of indices of the occupied orbitals (for one spin component). trexio_to_orbital_list_up_dn function does the same but for both up- and down-spin components of the determinant and returns two list of orbitals each corresponding to a different component.

6 Fortran helper/wrapper functions

The function below adapts the original C-based trexio_open for Fortran. This is needed due to the fact that strings in C are terminated by NULL character \0 unlike strings in Fortran. Note, that Fortran interface calls the main TREXIO API, which is written in C. 

contains
   integer(trexio_t) function trexio_open (filename, mode, back_end, rc_open)
     use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding, only : c_null_char
     implicit none
     character(len=*), intent(in)                    :: filename
     character, intent(in), value                    :: mode
     integer(trexio_back_end_t), intent(in), value   :: back_end
     integer(trexio_exit_code), intent(out)          :: rc_open
     character(len=len_trim(filename)+1)             :: filename_c
     integer(trexio_exit_code) :: rc

     filename_c = trim(filename) // c_null_char
     trexio_open = trexio_open_c(filename_c, mode, back_end, rc_open)
     if (trexio_open == 0_8 .or. rc_open /= TREXIO_SUCCESS) then
       return
     endif
     rc = trexio_set_one_based(trexio_open)
     if (rc /= TREXIO_SUCCESS) then
        rc = trexio_close(trexio_open)
        trexio_open = 0_8
     endif
   end function trexio_open

The function below adapts the original C-based trexio_inquire for Fortran. This is needed due to the same reasons as for trexio_open function. Note, that Fortran interface calls the main TREXIO API, which is written in C. 

integer(trexio_exit_code) function trexio_inquire (filename)
  use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding
  implicit none
  character(len=*), intent(in)        :: filename
  character(len=len_trim(filename)+1) :: filename_c

  filename_c = trim(filename) // c_null_char
  trexio_inquire = trexio_inquire_c(filename_c)
end function trexio_inquire

The subroutines below wrap the to_orbital_list functions to shift the MO indices by 1 since in Fortran arrays are 1-based and C/Python they are 0-based. 

integer(trexio_exit_code) function trexio_to_orbital_list(N_int, d1, list, occupied_num)
  use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding
  implicit none

  integer(c_int32_t), intent(in), value :: N_int
  integer(c_int64_t), intent(in)        :: d1(*)
  integer(c_int32_t), intent(out)       :: list(*)
  integer(c_int32_t), intent(out)       :: occupied_num

  integer :: i

  trexio_to_orbital_list = trexio_to_orbital_list_c(N_int, d1, list, occupied_num)
  if (trexio_to_orbital_list /= TREXIO_SUCCESS) then
    return
  endif

  do i = 1,occupied_num
    list(i) = list(i) + 1
  enddo
end function trexio_to_orbital_list


integer(trexio_exit_code) function trexio_to_orbital_list_up_dn(N_int, d1, list_up, list_dn, occ_num_up, occ_num_dn)
  use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding

  integer :: i

  trexio_to_orbital_list_up_dn = trexio_to_orbital_list_up_dn_c(N_int, d1, list_up, list_dn, occ_num_up, occ_num_dn)
  if (trexio_to_orbital_list_up_dn /= TREXIO_SUCCESS) then
    return
  endif

  do i = 1,occ_num_up
    list_up(i) = list_up(i) + 1

end function trexio_to_orbital_list_up_dn

The subroutine below transforms an array of Fortran strings into one big string using TREXIO_DELIM symbol as a delimeter and adds NULL character in the end in order to properly pass the desired string to C API. This is needed due to the fact that strings in C are terminated by NULL character \0. 

subroutine trexio_strarray2str(str_array, max_num_str, max_len_str, str_res)
  use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding, only : c_null_char
  implicit none

  integer(c_int64_t), intent(in), value   :: max_num_str  ! number of elements in strign array
  integer, intent(in), value   :: max_len_str  ! maximum length of a string in an array
  character(len=*), intent(in)  :: str_array(*)
  character(len=:), allocatable, intent(out) :: str_res
  integer(c_int64_t) :: i

  str_res = ''
  do i = 1, max_num_str
    str_res = str_res // trim(str_array(i)) // TREXIO_DELIM
  enddo
  str_res = str_res // c_null_char

end subroutine trexio_strarray2str

The subroutine below does the reverse tranformation from one big string with delimeters into an array of Fortran strings. 

subroutine trexio_str2strarray(str_flat, max_num_str, max_len_str, str_array)
  implicit none

  integer(c_int64_t), intent(in), value   :: max_num_str  ! number of elements in strign array
  integer, intent(in), value              :: max_len_str  ! maximum length of a string in an array
  character(kind=c_char), intent(in)      :: str_flat(*)
  character(len=*), intent(inout)         :: str_array(*)

  character(len=max_len_str)  :: tmp_str
  integer(c_int64_t) :: i, j, k, ind, len_flat

  len_flat = (max_len_str+1)*max_num_str + 1

  ind=1
  do i=1,max_num_str
    k = 1
    tmp_str=''
    do j=ind,len_flat
      if (str_flat(j) == TREXIO_DELIM) then
        ind=j+1
        exit
      endif
      tmp_str(k:k) = str_flat(j)
      k = k + 1
    enddo
    str_array(i)=tmp_str
  enddo

end subroutine trexio_str2strarray

The subroutine is a Fortran analogue of assert in C. It check that the the return code of the TREXIO API call is equal to a given return code. It can optionally print a success message if the two code are identical, i.e. if the assert statement pass. 

subroutine trexio_assert(trexio_rc, check_rc, success_message)
  implicit none

  integer, intent(in), value :: trexio_rc
  integer, intent(in), value :: check_rc
  character(len=*), intent(in), optional  :: success_message

  character*(128) :: str

  if (trexio_rc == check_rc) then
    if (present(success_message)) write(*,*) success_message
  else
    call trexio_string_of_error(trexio_rc, str)
    print *, trim(str)
    stop 1
  endif

end subroutine trexio_assert
