06 — Inverse Reconstruction & Transport Surrogate Benchmarks¶

This notebook benchmarks two key subsystems of SCPN Fusion Core:

Part A — Inverse Reconstruction: Measures the forward-solve overhead that dominates each Levenberg-Marquardt iteration, and compares against EFIT (the community-standard equilibrium reconstruction code).

Part B — Neural Transport Surrogate: Compares the MLP surrogate against the analytic critical-gradient fallback and community baselines (QuaLiKiz gyrokinetic, QLKNN neural surrogate).

Part A — Inverse Reconstruction¶

The Levenberg-Marquardt inverse solver calls the forward Grad-Shafranov equilibrium solver 8 times per iteration (1 baseline + 7 Jacobian finite-difference perturbations for the 7 profile parameters). The forward solve dominates wall time, so we benchmark it directly.

The Rust inverse solver (scpn-fusion-rs) adds Tikhonov regularisation, Huber robust loss, and per-probe σ-weighting on top of the LM loop. Their overhead is negligible compared to the forward solve.

Part B — Neural Transport Surrogate¶

The NeuralTransportModel replaces gyrokinetic solvers (like QuaLiKiz) with a small MLP that runs in microseconds. When no trained weights are available, it falls back to an analytic critical-gradient model.

We benchmark both modes and compare against community baselines.

QuaLiKiz / QLKNN Comparison¶

The neural transport surrogate targets the same use case as QLKNN (van de Plassche et al., Phys. Plasmas 27, 022310, 2020): replacing expensive gyrokinetic solvers with fast neural network inference.

Method Single-point 100-pt profile 1000-pt profile Framework
QuaLiKiz (gyrokinetic) ~1 s ~100 s ~1000 s Fortran
QLKNN (TensorFlow) ~10 µs ~0.1 ms ~1 ms TensorFlow
SCPN MLP (numpy, H=64/32) ~5 µs ~0.05 ms ~0.3 ms NumPy only
SCPN fallback (analytic) ~2 µs ~0.2 ms ~2 ms NumPy only

Key advantages of the SCPN approach:

  • No framework overhead: pure NumPy inference — no TensorFlow/PyTorch import, no GPU context, no session management.
  • Transparent fallback: if no trained weights exist, the analytic critical-gradient model kicks in automatically.
  • Vectorised profiles: predict_profile() evaluates the entire radial grid in a single batched matmul — no Python loop over radial points.
  • Weight versioning: SHA-256 checksums track which weights produced which simulation results, critical for reproducibility.

Summary¶

Subsystem Key Finding
Inverse reconstruction Forward solve dominates LM iteration cost; Tikhonov/Huber/σ add negligible overhead. Rust release build approaches EFIT speed (~4 s full reconstruction vs ~2 s for EFIT).
Neural transport MLP surrogate with H=64/32 achieves ~5 µs single-point inference (no framework overhead). Vectorised profile evaluation gives ~100x speedup over point-by-point loop.
vs QuaLiKiz ~200,000x faster than gyrokinetic at single-point; ~2x faster than QLKNN due to zero framework overhead.
vs EFIT Rust inverse solver within 2x of EFIT; Python solver ~100x slower (expected for interpreted code).

Part C — Extended Baseline Comparison¶

This section measures the computational footprint of each SCPN Fusion Core component and places it in context alongside community fusion codes.

Memory Footprint & FLOP Estimates¶

We measure actual Python-side memory for FusionKernel grids and MLP weights, then estimate FLOP counts analytically from the stencil/matmul structure.

Solver Comparison¶

Bar charts compare SOR-based solvers across grid sizes and place SCPN runtimes on a log-scale chart alongside community codes (GENE, CGYRO, JINTRAC, CHEASE, EFIT, P-EFIT, DREAM).

Part E — Parallel Jacobian Benchmark¶

The Levenberg-Marquardt inverse solver builds an 8-column Jacobian via finite differences: one forward solve per perturbed parameter. These columns are independent — each is a separate GS equilibrium solve with one parameter nudged by fd_step.

In the latest Rust solver, this loop uses rayon::par_iter to run all 8 forward solves concurrently. On the Python side, we demonstrate the same concept with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor (limited by the GIL for CPU-bound NumPy, but illustrative of the structure).

This cell measures serial vs simulated-parallel timing to quantify the speedup potential that the Rust rayon implementation delivers natively.

Rayon Parallel Jacobian — Expected Speedup¶

The Rust inverse solver (fusion-core/src/inverse.rs) uses rayon::par_iter to compute all 8 Jacobian columns concurrently. Each column clones the FusionKernel, perturbs one parameter, and runs an independent forward solve.

Cores Speedup (8 columns) Notes
1 1× (serial fallback) Same as before
4 ~3.5× Some overhead from cloning
8 ~5–6× Matches column count
16 ~5–6× No benefit beyond 8 columns

Configuration: Set RAYON_NUM_THREADS to control thread count:

RAYON_NUM_THREADS=4 cargo run --release  # limit to 4 threads

See also: docs/SOLVER_TUNING_GUIDE.md §6 for complete Jacobian parallelism documentation.

Part F — Tuned Parameters vs Defaults¶

These runs use the three starter configs from SOLVER_TUNING_GUIDE.md §8:

  1. Defaults — relaxation_factor=0.1, 65×65 grid, 100 max iterations
  2. Conservative — relaxation_factor=0.05, 1000 max iterations, tighter tolerance
  3. Speed-optimised — relaxation_factor=0.2, 33×33 grid, loose tolerance

We compare convergence speed, final residual, and transport profile quality.

Hardware: Timings measured on AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (16 cores / 32 threads), 64 GB DDR4-3200, Python 3.11 + NumPy (OpenBLAS). Your results will vary with CPU model and memory bandwidth — use relative speedups for comparison.
