These appear to be benchmarks that don't involve running anything concretely, just compiling and likely then counting gates:
Run output is placed under
out/:Some of the output data is stored as
.cpickle files. To observe those files, you need the original Python classes, and therefore you have to be inside Docker, from the host it won't work.We can list all the plots that have been produced under Plots are also available in SVG and PDF formats, e.g.:
out/ withfind -name '*.png'The output directory has a hierarchical structure of type:where:
./out/manual/wildtype_000000/000000/generation_000000/000000/wildtype_000000: variant conditions.wildtypeis a human readable label, and000000is an index amongst the possiblewildtypeconditions. For example, we can have different simulations with different nutrients, or different DNA sequences. An example of this is shown at run variants.000000: initial random seed for the initial cell, likely fed to NumPy'snp.random.seedgenereation_000000: this will increase with generations if we simulate multiple cells, which is supported by the model000000: this will presumably contain the cell index within a generation
We also understand that some of the top level directories contain summaries over all cells, e.g. the
massFractionSummary.pdf plot exists at several levels of the hierarchy:./out/manual/plotOut/massFractionSummary.pdf
./out/manual/wildtype_000000/plotOut/massFractionSummary.pdf
./out/manual/wildtype_000000/000000/plotOut/massFractionSummary.pdf
./out/manual/wildtype_000000/000000/generation_000000/000000/plotOut/massFractionSummary.pdfEach of thoes four levels of
plotOut is generated by a different one of the analysis scripts:./out/manual/plotOut: generated bypython runscripts/manual/analysisVariant.py. Contains comparisons of different variant conditions. We confirm this by looking at the results of run variants../out/manual/wildtype_000000/plotOut: generated bypython runscripts/manual/analysisCohort.py --variant_index 0. TODO not sure how to differentiate between two different labels e.g.wildtype_000000andsomethingElse_000000. If-vis not given, a it just picks the first one alphabetically. TODO not sure how to automatically generate all of those plots without inspecting the directories../out/manual/wildtype_000000/000000/plotOut: generated bypython runscripts/manual/analysisMultigen.py --variant_index 0 --seed 0./out/manual/wildtype_000000/000000/generation_000000/000000/plotOut: generated bypython runscripts/manual/analysisSingle.py --variant_index 0 --seed 0 --generation 0 --daughter 0. Contains information about a single specific cell.
TODO clear example of the computational problem that it solves.
This is a term "invented" by Ciro Santilli to refer to quantum compilers that are able to convert non-specifically-quantum (functional, since there is no state in quantum software) programs into quantum circuit.
The term is made by adding "quantum" to the more "classical" concept of "high-level synthesis", which refers to software that converts an imperative program into register transfer level hardware, typicially for FPGA applications.

As mentioned by Craig Venter in 100 Greatest Discoveries by the Discovery Channel (2004-2005), the main outcomes of the project were:
- it established the ballpark number of human genes
- showed that human genomes are very similar across individuals.

Quantum computing is hard because we want long coherence but fast control by

These are two conflicting constraints:
- long coherence times: require isolation from external world, otherwise observation destroys quantum state
- fast control and readout: require coupling with external world
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
