Compiler Back End Options
In order to run a simulation defined using CSDL, two packages are
required.
The first package is csdl.
The second package comes from the list at the end of this page.
The csdl package provides the front end and middle end for the CSDL
compiler.
The front end is responsible for building an intermediate representation
of the user-defined model, while the middle end is responsible for
performing implementation-independent analyses and optimizations on the
intermediate representation.
The csdl package provides users with a way to specify mathematical
models of physical systems, but no way to implement simulations to
simulate the behavior of such systems.
List of Available Back Ends#
In order to generate simulation implementation, a CSDL compiler back end is required. The CSDL compiler back end is provided by a separate Python package of your choosing. The links below provide detailed guides for using and designing a CSDL compiler back end.
