wse-sketches

Development work for agent-based evolution/epidemiological modeling on the Cerebras Wafer-scale Engine (WSE) hardware. Incoprorates hereditary stratigraphy methodology for distributed tracking of agent phylogenies.

Requires Cerebras SDK, available through invitation.

Contents

• ziglib: port of hsurf algorithms from Python to Zig
• cerebraslib: port of hsurf algorithms to Cerebras Software Language (CSL) as well other supporting materials for WSE kernels
• kernel-test-cerebraslib: uses Cerebras WSE hardware simulator to run unit tests on cerebraslib components
• kernel-async-ga: general purpose framework for decentralized, island-model genetic algorithm across WSE Processing Elements (PEs), with configurably-sized agent genomes, customizable mutation operator, and customizable fitness function; includes scripts to run on Cerebras WSE hardware simulator
• kernel-self-driving and kernel-simple-ga: early exploration of WSE capabilities and design patterns
• pylib: Python support code for data analysis
• binder: data analysis notebooks (empty; ran in CI and synced to binder branch)
• tex: manuscript source materials

Installation and Running

See our Continuous Integration config for detailed instructions on installing dependencies and running project components.

Note that the test-csl continuous integration components do not run within the scope of the public-facing wse-sketches repository in order to protect Cerebras' intellectual property.
