Asimov interface

[jonaswildberger]

Added the interface with Asimov (https://git.ligo.org/asimov/asimov). This includes (1.) the file dingo/pipe/asimov.py and (2.) a templated dingo.ini file, which contains a template of all inference settings, i.e. asimov configuration can override certain settings based on specific events.

1. The dingo/pipe/asimov.py file contains the class Dingo(Pipeline), which subclasses asimov.pipeline.Pipeline overriding certain methods according to the Dingo interface. Most importantly, this includes the methodsbuild_dag() and submit_dag(), which are called as part of generating and submitting the DAG in the asimov workflow. Most of the methods are implemented similarly to Bilby.
2. This templated settings file uses the liquid language (https://liquidjs.com/tutorials/intro-to-liquid.html) allowing some logic in the file. A path to this settings file needs to be included in the asimov config file asimov.conf (see below)

To set up Asimov with Dingo, you need to perform the following steps

• Install asimov in the same environment as Dingo viapip install asimov==v0.4.0b3 for the most recent version (06.12.22). Also, if using a source install of Dingo, make sure to re-run python install -e ."[dev]" such that asimov sees the entrypoint for dingo_pipe
• Create a new asimov project via

  mkdir new-project
  cd new-project
  asimov init "project name"

• Add the path to the dingo.ini file to the asimov.conf:

  [templating]
  directory = /path/to/dingo/examples/pipe

• Download some production settings: asimov apply -f https://git.ligo.org/asimov/data/-/raw/main/defaults/production-pe.yaml
• Download the settings for an event e.g. GW150914 via asimov apply -f https://git.ligo.org/asimov/data/-/raw/main/events/gwtc-2-1/GW150914_095045.yaml
• Create a production file dingo-analysis.yaml and tell Asimov to use a Dingo production for this event: asimov apply -f dingo-analysis.yaml -e GW150914_095045

dingo-analysis.yaml

kind: analysis
name: Prod0
pipeline: dingo
approximant: IMRPhenomXPHM

• Run asimov manage build and asimov manage submit to start the submission. For a more detailed explanation, see https://asimov.docs.ligo.org/asimov/master/getting-started.html

TODOs

• Add Pesummary

I've just added the latest condor arguments and removed the "plot-trace" + redundant "request_gpus" setting.

Hi folks, I've just had a quick glance over this, and it looks sane. My one piece of advice would be to change the way that you're handling the template file so that it doesn't need to be specified in the asimov.conf file, but is instead included with the package.

You can see an example of that here which would reduce the amount of configuration required.

@jonaswildberger Could you please address the existing conversations, and then update the Asimov interface to reflect the latest dingo-pipe? DM me to discuss as needed.
