Topic: PDL


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  The Design of High Quality Programs and Using PDL
PDL is a series of English-like statements that describe what you want to do.
Writing PDL is an iterative process that takes you from the general problem definition to the doorstep of coding.
After the PDL and the code have been written it is time for you to pretend to be the computer.

 SGI TPL View (PDL::FAQ.1)
Just in case you do not yet know what the main features of PDL are and what one could do with them, here is a (necessarily selective) list of key features: PDL is well suited for matrix computations, general handling of multi- dimensional data, image processing, general scientific computation, numerical applications.
Since PDL is just a Perl package you need first of all an installation of Perl on your machine.
A null pdl can be used to flag to a PDL function that it should create an appropriately sized and typed piddle.

 PDL - The Perl Data Language
PDL turns perl in to a free, array-oriented, numerical language similar to (but, we believe, better than) such commerical packages as IDL and MatLab.
The goal is to allow PDL to interact with a variety of external numerical packages, graphics and visualisation systems.
PDL 2.4.3 is available on Sourceforge and CPAN.

 PDL::Impatient - PDL for the impatient
The 'PDL' module is a complete Object-Oriented extension to Perl (although you don't have to know what an object is to use it) which allows large N-dimensional data sets, such as large images, spectra, time series, etc to be stored efficiently and manipulated en masse.
PDL variables (or 'piddles' as they have come to be known) support a wide range of fundamental data types - arrays can be bytes, short integers (signed or unsigned), long integers, floats or double precision floats.
The pdl() function is used to initialise a PDL variable from a scalar, list, list reference or another PDL variable.

 Removing listings from PDL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
PDL's philosophy is not to block e-mail, rather to encourage good e-mail behaviour.
To this end, requesting a removal of a PDL listing is not painful and in most cases should not require legal action.
If for some reason writing the PDL directly does not work, for instance if the e-mail is refused because your mail server was listed in the PDL by mistake, you can use the submisison form to request a correction.

 PDL FAQ
PDL was and is being actively developed by a loosely knit group of people around the world who coordinate their activities through the PDL development mailing list (pdl-porters@jach.hawaii.edu, see below).
PDL threading of operations on piddles (as mentioned in the indexing docs) is the iteration of a basic operation over appropriate subslices of piddles, e.g.
PDL threading leads naturally to potentially parallel code which can make use of multithreading on multiprocessor machines/networks; there you have the connection between the two types of use of the term.

 PDL - A Tool for Software Design
The output of the processor completely replaces flowcharts since PDL designs are easier to produce, easier to change, and easier to read than are designs presented in flowchart form.
The document output by the PDL processor is in a form ready for photo-reduction and publication.
PDL is not a panacea and it is certainly possible to produce bad designs using it.

 Perl Data Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PDL is an extension to Perl v5, intended for scientific and other data intensive programming tasks.
PDL is a vectorized array programming language: the expression syntax is a variation on standard mathematical vector notation, so that the user can combine and operate on large arrays with simple expressions.
PDL borrows from perl all three basic types of program structure: imperative programming, functional programming, and pipeline programming forms may be combined.

 Preferred Drug List Annual Report
As the PDL program has been operational for less than a year, HHSC needs additional time to compile clinical data to analyze the effect of the PDLs on health outcomes and results for recipients as well as utilization trends for medical services provided by the state and any correlation to the PDLs.
The PDL controls spending growth by increasing the use of preferred drugs - prescription drugs selected for the PDL that are determined to be safe, clinically effective and cost effective compared to other drugs on the market.
The number of PDL prior authorizations peaked in April at 85,097, and declined to 32,953 by July as physicians and other prescribers became familiar with the PDL and began to prescribe more preferred drugs.

For a package like PDL that has a lot of functions it is very desirable to have some form of online help to make it easy for the user to remind himself of names, calling conventions and typical usage of the multitude of functions at his disposal.
The PDL podparser is derived from the PDL::Pod::Parser class that had to be patched in a few places, partly to fix minor bugs, partly to enhance functionality for perusal by PDL::Doc.
The PDL podparser is implemented as a simple state machine.

 PDL Solutions (Europe) Ltd
PDL Solutions (Europe) Limited is a leading provider of advanced 3-dimensional Computer Aided Design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) engineering design and analysis services.
PDL has networked the 3 core CAD, FEA and CFD capabilities into one operating environment enabling the predicted performance of a proposed design to be assessed on an iterative basis throughout the design cycle and before actual parts are made.
The net effect of such an approach is (1) the mitigation of risk, (2) a shortening of the overall development timescale of a project, and (3) a reduction in the total development cost.

 PDL::PP - Generate PDL routines from concise descriptions
You tell PDL::PP that this pdl is only used for temporary results in the course of the calculation and you are not interested in its value after the computation has been completed.
All pdl arguments are then type converted to that datatype (they are not converted inplace but a copy with the right type is created if a pdl argument doesn't have the type of the operation).
Null pdls don't contribute a type in the determination of the type of the operation.

So as I was saying, PDL is the highest-level language you will ever see until they conceive computers that can interpret human speech as code.
When you code in PDL, you are coding in plain English (or whatever language you use) and not one single bit of computer code.
In fact, this ambiguity let's you code PDL and then use it to construct a routine in any computer language since you never used a peice of language specific code.

PDL can be used "normally" from a script, but it also has a shell interface for interactive data analysis and prototyping.
This is often used in astronomy to emphasize sharp features against a bright background, such as stars in a galaxy, the giant luminous gas clouds we call HII regions, or foreground objects such as UFO's (err, weather balloons).
PDL was prototyped early in 1996 and is currently in beta release.

 Debian -- pdl   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
PDL (``Perl Data Language'') gives standard perl the ability to COMPACTLY store and SPEEDILY manipulate the large N-dimensional data arrays which are the bread and butter of scientific computing.
For example, using PDL the perl variable $a can hold a 1024x1024 floating point image, it only takes 4Mb of memory to store it and expressions like $a=sqrt($a)+2 would manipulate the whole image in a few seconds.
A simple interactive shell (perldl) is provided for command line use together with a module (PDL) for use in perl scripts.
