* The APL family of languages
|
||
|
||
** Why APL?
|
||
|
||
I recently got interested in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language)][APL]], an /array-based/ programming
|
||
language. In APL (and derivatives), we try to reason about programs as
|
||
series of transformations of multi-dimensional arrays. This is exactly
|
||
the kind of style I like in Haskell and other functional languages,
|
||
where I also try to use higher-order functions (map, fold, etc) on
|
||
lists or arrays. A developer only needs to understand these
|
||
abstractions once, instead of deconstructing each loop or each
|
||
recursive function encountered in a program.
|
||
|
||
APL also tries to be a really simple and /terse/ language. This
|
||
combined with strange Unicode characters for primitive functions and
|
||
operators, gives it a reputation of unreadability. However, there is
|
||
only a small number of functions to learn, and you get used really
|
||
quickly to read them and understand what they do. Some combinations
|
||
also occur so frequently that you can recognize them instantly (APL
|
||
programmers call them /idioms/).
|
||
|
||
** Implementations
|
||
|
||
APL is actually a family of languages. The classic APL, as created by
|
||
Ken Iverson, with strange symbols, has many implementations. I
|
||
initially tried [[https://www.gnu.org/software/apl/][GNU APL]], but due to the lack of documentation and
|
||
proper tooling, I went to [[https://www.dyalog.com/][Dyalog APL]] (which is proprietary, but free
|
||
for personal use). There are also APL derivatives, that often use
|
||
ASCII symbols: [[http://www.jsoftware.com/][J]] (free) and [[https://code.kx.com/q/][Q/kdb+]] (proprietary, but free for personal
|
||
use).
|
||
|
||
The advantage of Dyalog is that it comes with good tooling (which is
|
||
necessary for inserting all the symbols!), a large ecosystem, and
|
||
pretty good [[http://docs.dyalog.com/][documentation]]. If you want to start, look at [[http://www.dyalog.com/mastering-dyalog-apl.htm][/Mastering
|
||
Dyalog APL/]] by Bernard Legrand, freely available online.
|
||
|
||
* The Ising model in APL
|
||
|
||
I needed a small project to try APL while I was learning. Something
|
||
array-based, obviously. Since I already implemented a
|
||
Metropolis-Hastings simulation of the [[./ising-model.html][Ising
|
||
model]], which is based on a regular lattice, I decided to reimplement
|
||
it in Dyalog APL.
|
||
|
||
It is only a few lines long, but I will try to explain what it does
|
||
step by step.
|
||
|
||
The first function simply generates a random lattice filled by
|
||
elements of $\{-1,+1\}$.
|
||
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC apl
|
||
L←{(2×?⍵ ⍵⍴2)-3}
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
Let's deconstruct what is done here:
|
||
- ⍵ is the argument of our function.
|
||
- We generate a ⍵×⍵ matrix filled with 2, using the ~⍴~ function: ~⍵ ⍵⍴2~
|
||
- ~?~ draws a random number between 1 and its argument. We give it our matrix to generate a random matrix of 1 and 2.
|
||
- We multiply everything by 2 and subtract 3, so that the result is in $\{-1,+1\}$.
|
||
- Finally, we assign the result to the name ~L~.
|
||
|
||
Sample output:
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC apl
|
||
ising.L 5
|
||
1 ¯1 1 ¯1 1
|
||
1 1 1 ¯1 ¯1
|
||
1 ¯1 ¯1 ¯1 ¯1
|
||
1 1 1 ¯1 ¯1
|
||
¯1 ¯1 1 1 1
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
Next, we compute the energy variation (for details on the Ising model,
|
||
see [[./ising-model.html][my previous post]]).
|
||
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC apl
|
||
∆E←{
|
||
⎕IO←0
|
||
(x y)←⍺
|
||
N←⊃⍴⍵
|
||
xn←N|((x-1)y)((x+1)y)
|
||
yn←N|(x(y-1))(x(y+1))
|
||
⍵[x;y]×+/⍵[xn,yn]
|
||
}
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
- ⍺ is the left argument (coordinates of the site), ⍵ is the right argument (lattice).
|
||
- We extract the x and y coordinates of the site.
|
||
- ~N~ is the size of the lattice.
|
||
- ~xn~ and ~yn~ are respectively the vertical and lateral neighbours of the site. ~N|~ takes the coordinates modulo ~N~ (so the lattice is actually a torus). (Note: we used ~⎕IO←0~ to use 0-based array indexing.)
|
||
- ~+/~ sums over all neighbours of the site, and then we multiply by the value of the site itself to get $\Delta E$.
|
||
|
||
Sample output, for site $(3, 3)$ in a random $5\times 5$ lattice:
|
||
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC apl
|
||
3 3ising.∆E ising.L 5
|
||
¯4
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
Then comes the actual Metropolis-Hastings part:
|
||
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC apl
|
||
U←{
|
||
⎕IO←0
|
||
N←⊃⍴⍵
|
||
(x y)←?N N
|
||
new←⍵
|
||
new[x;y]×←(2×(?0)>*-⍺×x y ∆E ⍵)-1
|
||
new
|
||
}
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
- ⍺ is the $\beta$ parameter of the Ising model, ⍵ is the lattice.
|
||
- We draw a random site $(x,y)$ with the ~?~ function.
|
||
- ~new~ is the lattice but with the $(x,y)$ site flipped.
|
||
- We compute the probability $\alpha = \exp(-\beta\Delta E)$ using the ~*~ function (exponential) and our previous ~∆E~ function.
|
||
- ~?0~ returns a uniform random number in $[0,1)$. Based on this value, we decide whether to update the lattice, and we return it.
|
||
|
||
We can now bring everything together for display:
|
||
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC apl
|
||
Ising←{' ⌹'[1+1=({10 U ⍵}⍣⍵)L ⍺]}
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
- We draw a random lattice of size ⍺ with ~L ⍺~.
|
||
- We apply to it our update function, with $\beta$=10, ⍵ times (using the ~⍣~ function, which applies a function $n$ times.
|
||
- Finally, we display -1 as a space and 1 as a domino ⌹.
|
||
|
||
Final output, with a $80\times 80$ random lattice, after 50000 update
|
||
steps:
|
||
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC apl
|
||
80ising.Ising 50000

* Conclusion
|
||
|
||
The algorithm is very fast (I think it can be optimized by the
|
||
interpreter because there is no branching), and is easy to reason
|
||
about. The whole program fits in a few lines, and you clearly see what
|
||
each function and each line does. It could probably be optimized
|
||
further (I don't know every APL function yet...), and also could
|
||
probably be golfed to a few lines (at the cost of readability?).
|
||
|
||
It took me some time to write this, but Dyalog's tools make it really
|
||
easy to insert symbols and to look up what they do. Next time, I will
|
||
look into some ASCII-based APL descendants. J seems to have a [[http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NuVoc][good
|
||
documentation]] and a tradition of /tacit definitions/, similar to the
|
||
point-free style in Haskell. Overall, J seems well-suited to modern
|
||
functional programming, while APL is still under the influence of its
|
||
early days when it was more procedural. Another interesting area is K,
|
||
Q, and their database engine kdb+, which seems to be extremely
|
||
performant and actually used in production.
|
||
|
||
Still, Unicode symbols make the code much more readable, mainly
|
||
because there is a one-to-one link between symbols and functions,
|
||
which cannot be maintained with only a few ASCII characters.
