Uncertainty quantification takes a lot of time with Gempy 2024

[Anagabrielamantilla]

Hello, I am using gempy version 2024.2.0.2. I am doing the uncertainty quantification using Monte Carlo method of my gempy model named "loaded_model". The numbers "205134058, 363156420, 128925917, 36792972" are the ID of each layer. However, when I start to run the code it takes a long time it has been running for an hour and does not finish or show anything. Is this normal? How much time does it take? How can I make it faster? I appreciate any comments that help me improve my code.

` indices_bool_1 = loaded_model.surface_points_copy.df['id'].isin([205134058, 363156420, 128925917, 36792972])

indices_1 = loaded_model.surface_points_copy.df.index[indices_bool_1]

Z_init_1 = loaded_model.surface_points_copy.df.loc[(indices_1, ['Z', 'id'])].copy()

df = pd.DataFrame(Z_init_1)

capa1 = df[df['id'] == 205134058]['Z'] capa2 = df[df['id'] == 363156420]['Z'] capa3 = df[df['id'] == 128925917]['Z'] capa4 = df[df['id'] == 36792972]['Z']

def sample(silent=True): Z_var = np.random.normal(0, 30, size=4) Z_loc = np.hstack([capa1 + Z_var[0], capa2 + Z_var[1], capa3 + Z_var[2], capa4 + Z_var[3]])

if silent:
    #loaded_model.modify_surface_points(indices_1, Z=Z_loc)
    loaded_model.surface_points_copy.df.loc[indices_1, 'Z'] = Z_loc
    gp.compute_model(loaded_model)
else:
    # Create an object
    plot_object = gp.plot_2d(loaded_model)
    
    # Pass the object as argument of modify_surface_points
    loaded_model.surface_points_copy.df.loc[indices_1, 'Z'] = Z_loc

    plot_object.show() 

return loaded_model.solutions.lith_block

lith_blocks = np.array([]) n_iterations = 10 # Number of iterations

for i in range(n_iterations): print('iteration number:', i) lith_blocks = np.append(lith_blocks, sample()) `

I have tried reducing the number of iterations but does not work either.

Hi @Anagabrielamantilla,

thanks for the questiom. I am not an expert in this field - but my first question would be how long a single computation of your model takes. This mainly depends on the resolution you set and the amount of input data. Have you already checked that?

Cheers, Jan

Quick addition @Anagabrielamantilla : as speed for each model matters in your case, you could try running the model computation with the PyTorch Backend.

Steps:

• Install PyTorch (https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) - please check that it is also available in the environment in which you are running GemPy (import torch should work)
• Set the backend to PyTorch in the GemPy compute step:

from gempy_engine.config import AvailableBackends
gp.compute_model(geo_model, engine_config=gp.data.GemPyEngineConfig(
        backend=AvailableBackends.PYTORCH
    ))

Best to check with a single model iteration first, but it should definitely speed up the compute process. If you are running the modeling in IPython (for example, in Jupyter notebooks), you can use the %%timeit-magic for a simple check.

Testing this approach with the "combination model" https://docs.gempy.org/examples/geometries/g07_combination.html#sphx-glr-examples-geometries-g07-combination-py

Results for me (standard Laptop, could also be a lot faster on a better computer) in:

• Normal backend (numpy): 3min 33s ± 4.15 s per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
• PyTorch backend: 1min 31s ± 2.89 s per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
