dimod 0.9.1

A shared API for binary quadratic model samplers.

dimod

dimod is a shared API for binary quadratic samplers. It provides a binary quadratic model (BQM) class that contains Ising and quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) models used by samplers such as the D-Wave system. It also provides utilities for constructing new samplers and composed samplers and for minor-embedding. Its reference examples include several samplers and composed samplers.

Example Usage

>>> import dimod
...
>>> # Construct a problem
>>> bqm = dimod.BinaryQuadraticModel({0: -1, 1: 1}, {(0, 1): 2}, 0.0, dimod.BINARY)
...
>>> # Use dimod's brute force solver to solve the problem
>>> sampleset = dimod.ExactSolver().sample(bqm)
>>> print(sampleset)
   0  1 energy num_oc.
1  1  0   -1.0       1
0  0  0    0.0       1
3  0  1    1.0       1
2  1  1    2.0       1
['BINARY', 4 rows, 4 samples, 2 variables]

See the documentation for more examples.

Installation

Compatible with Python 3.5+:

pip install dimod

To install with optional components:

pip install dimod[all]

To install from source:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install

When developing on dimod, it is often convenient to build the extensions in place:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Note that installation from source requires that your system have the Boost C++ libraries installed.
