Merge lp:~maddevelopers/mg5amcnlo/COLLIER into lp:~maddevelopers/mg5amcnlo/2.4.1

[Valentin Hirschi]

This branch introduces the longed-for interface to COLLIER!

All tests pass (incl. the comparison with the multitude of benchmark processes) and MG5aMC user can now effortlessly use COLLIER for all the applications that can involve MadLoop.

So please give it a try simply by running a couple of loop processes with different setup, and after having installed COLLIER with

MG5_aMC> install collier

Regarding performances, COLLIER holds up to its promises (when properly using its global caching system). I compiled a tex document that summarizes the profiling I did so far:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By4qXx23HZGESkU2c0RMQ0J1RGs

In summary, we observe that:

a) COLLIER is faster than CutTools but slower than Ninja, although one must keep in mind that Ninja's timings must be doubled in practice for the stability test.

b) COLLIER scales worse than integrand reduction with the rank of the loop *and its multiplicity* (and significantly so, something I had not appreciated before). This is striking when looking at the timings of the 2 > 6 process. But it is nice that the COLI branch of COLLIER has no hard limitation in rank or multiplicity.

c) COLLIER's stability is indeed astonishing! The numerical stability plots speak for themselves... And this was not even for the most difficult processes we can generate with MadLoop (see http://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.01363.pdf). However, COLLIER's internal stability assessment is quite a bit over-conservative.

Finally, there are a number of new COLLIER-related parameters that you can find at the end of the MadLoopParams.dat card (please have a look). Speaking of which, notice that I decided to change the default value of the following three existing MadLoop parameters starting from this version:

    a) NRotationsDP 1-> 0
       We have been using that for quite some time and it doubles
       MadLoop runtime. I think we now have enough confidence in the
       loop direction stability test to drop it.

    b) COLLIERUseInternalStabilityTest False -> True
       Even though for complicated processes this test seems to
       overshoot the actual stability by up to 5 digits, it seems to never
       undershoots it, so it is safe to rely on it and it comes in at no
       additional computational time.
       So we can use it and if at some point too many unstable PS point show
       (but that should almost never occur) with COLLIER, then we can turn this off
       and fall back on the loop-direction stability test instead.

    c) UseQPIntegrandForNinja False -> True
       For complicated processes where a lot of points need stability rescuing
       with Ninja, it turns out that quad. prec. in the integrand can
       significantly increases the accuracy (up to 4-5 digits), so it
       is actually better to leave this on, especially since we
       now have COLLIER first.

Let me know your comments/questions on the above, the interface and the code if you want to look at it.

Cheers

Hi Valentin,

This is so cool.
I did not have the time to check yet but this is some first comment:

1) I would refrain to include this in 2.4.1, mainly because I want to have that version as bug fix only and be released very very soon (in max two weeks).

2) I do not understand the reason "UseQPIntegrandForNinja False -> True". You said "especially since we now have COLLIER first." This is actually not really True 99% of the user will not install collier and your option should reflect that scenario (or you update your option according to the tool available which can be really interesting.

Cheers,

Olivier

I understand. But I think that this implementation is fairly robust as it
doesn't modify anything else except MadLoop's output (to the exception of
the 'unique_id' additional option to generate_subrpocess_v4).
But still, I understand if you would rather delay it, just for safety; I'm
ok with this.

I will have COLLIER installed by default from a local copy that can then be
updated at any point by the user from the online tarball using the command
'install collier'. (I'll ask D&D for their consent on this first, event
though the tool is public, just to be politically correct). Basically, the
same strategy as I used for Ninja.
And COLLIER has *no dependence*, is in plain fortran90 and only needs a
minute or so to install. So yes, everybody will have it :).

Regarding the order, I think I want to still keep Ninja first, then
followed by COLLIER and finally CutTools (though it should almost never get
there anymore).

423. By Valentin Hirschi on 2016-05-27

1. Fixed a small issue in the check profile function.

424. By Valentin Hirschi on 2016-05-31

1. Added '--collier_mode=' option to the checks.
2. Fixed the propagation of COLLIER's internal numerical accuracy error estimate.

425. By Valentin Hirschi on 2016-06-16

1. Improved the propagation of COLLIER accuracy internal estimate which now only falls 1 order of magnitude short typically.

426. By Valentin Hirschi on 2016-06-16

1. Added local automatic installation of COLLIER.
2. 'Fixed' rank 7+ reduction by COLLIER by turning off all caches system temporarily.

[Olivier Mattelaer (olivier-mattelaer)]

Hi Valentin,

I wanted to start this review today. But I was stop quickly:

Enter COLLIER directory and installing COLLIER
/Users/omatt/Documents/eclipse/COLLIER/HEPTools/HEPToolsInstallers/installCOLLIER.sh: line 14: cmake: command not found
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Copying the static library and modules generated to target directory
cp: libcollier.a: No such file or directory
cp: modules/*.mod: No such file or directory
Finished installing COLLIER

Cheers,

Olivier
