Multi-Trajectory Pattern - -The implementation supports the frames_dict pattern requested in the issue: - -```python -import dpdata.lammps.dump as dump - -frames_dict = { - 'trajectory1.dump': [23, 56, 78], - 'trajectory2.dump': [22], - 'trajectory3.dump': [10, 20, 30, 40] -} - -# Load specified frames from multiple trajectories -data = dump.load_frames_from_trajectories(frames_dict, type_map=['O', 'H']) -``` - -### 3. Efficient Block Reading - -The implementation uses block-based reading with `itertools.zip_longest` to skip frames efficiently: - -- Determines frame structure (lines per frame) upfront -- Reads only requested frame blocks -- Skips unwanted frames without processing them - -## API Reference - -### Enhanced System Constructor - -```python -dpdata.System( - file_name, - fmt='lammps/dump', - f_idx=None, # NEW: List of frame indices to load - **kwargs -) -``` - -**Parameters:** -- `f_idx` (list[int], optional): Specific frame indices to load (0-based). If provided, `begin` and `step` parameters are ignored. - -### New Functions - -#### `dpdata.lammps.dump.read_frames(fname, f_idx)` - -Efficiently read specific frames from a LAMMPS dump file. - -**Parameters:** -- `fname`: The dump file path -- `f_idx`: List of frame indices to read (0-based) - -**Returns:** -- List of lines for the requested frames - -#### `dpdata.lammps.dump.load_frames_from_trajectories(frames_dict, **kwargs)` - -Load frames from multiple trajectory files using the frames_dict pattern. - -**Parameters:** -- `frames_dict`: Dictionary mapping file paths to lists of frame indices -- `**kwargs`: Additional arguments passed to `system_data` (e.g., `type_map`, `unwrap`) - -**Returns:** -- Combined system data dictionary - -#### `dpdata.lammps.dump.get_frame_nlines(fname)` - -Determine the number of lines per frame in a LAMMPS dump file. - -**Parameters:** -- `fname`: The dump file path - -**Returns:** -- Number of lines per frame (int) - -## Performance Benefits - -The efficient frame reading provides several advantages: - -1. **Memory Efficiency**: Only loads requested frames into memory -2. **I/O Efficiency**: Skips unwanted frames during file reading -3. **Processing Efficiency**: No need to process and then discard unwanted frames - -For large trajectory files with many frames, this can provide significant speedups when you only need a small subset of frames. - -## Backward Compatibility - -The implementation maintains full backward compatibility: - -- Existing code using `begin` and `step` parameters continues to work unchanged -- All existing tests pass without modification -- The new `f_idx` parameter is optional and defaults to `None` - -## Examples - -### Basic Usage - -```python -import dpdata - -# Traditional approach (loads all frames) -system_all = dpdata.System('traj.dump', fmt='lammps/dump', type_map=['O', 'H']) - -# Efficient approach (loads only specific frames) -system_subset = dpdata.System( - 'traj.dump', - fmt='lammps/dump', - type_map=['O', 'H'], - f_idx=[10, 50, 100] -) -``` - -### Multi-Trajectory Loading - -```python -import dpdata.lammps.dump as dump - -# Define which frames to load from each trajectory -frames_dict = { - 'run1/traj.dump': [100, 200, 300], - 'run2/traj.dump': [50, 150, 250], - 'run3/traj.dump': [75, 175] -} - -# Load all specified frames -data = dump.load_frames_from_trajectories(frames_dict, type_map=['C', 'H', 'O']) - -# Convert to dpdata System if needed -system = dpdata.System(data=data) -``` - -### Performance Comparison - -```python -import time -import dpdata - -# Time traditional approach -start = time.time() -system = dpdata.System('large_traj.dump', fmt='lammps/dump', type_map=['O', 'H']) -filtered = system.sub_system([100, 500, 1000]) -traditional_time = time.time() - start - -# Time efficient approach -start = time.time() -system = dpdata.System( - 'large_traj.dump', - fmt='lammps/dump', - type_map=['O', 'H'], - f_idx=[100, 500, 1000] -) -efficient_time = time.time() - start - -print(f"Speedup: {traditional_time / efficient_time:.1f}x") -``` - -## Implementation Details - -### Frame Structure Detection - -The implementation first reads the file to determine the frame structure: - -1. Finds the first "ITEM: TIMESTEP" line -2. Counts lines until the next "ITEM: TIMESTEP" -3. Uses this count as the number of lines per frame - -### Block-Based Reading - -For selective frame reading: - -1. Sorts requested frame indices for sequential access -2. Uses file position to skip to frame boundaries -3. Reads frame blocks only for requested indices -4. Combines results while preserving order - -### Error Handling - -The implementation handles various edge cases gracefully: - -- Empty frame index lists return empty results -- Out-of-range indices are skipped silently -- Duplicate indices are automatically deduplicated -- Negative indices are ignored - -This ensures robust operation even with invalid input. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/demo_efficient_reading.py b/demo_efficient_reading.py deleted file mode 100644 index 8a9f729ef..000000000 --- a/demo_efficient_reading.py +++ /dev/null @@ -1,132 +0,0 @@ -#!/usr/bin/env python3 -""" -Demonstration of efficient LAMMPS trajectory frame reading in dpdata. - -This script shows how to use the new efficient frame reading functionality -that was implemented to address issue #367. -""" - -import dpdata -import dpdata.lammps.dump as dump -import time - - -def demo_basic_usage(): - """Demonstrate basic usage of the new f_idx parameter.""" - print("=== Basic Usage Demo ===") - - # Traditional approach: load all frames - print("1.
