Überblick
Bayesian state-space modelling on parallel computer hardware
Verlauf
LibBi is Lawrence M. Murray's package for Bayesian state-space modelling and inference on high-performance hardware. It combines a C++ template library with a Perl parser and compiler for a domain-specific modelling language.
LibBi was publicly announced on 2013-06-07, alongside Murray's 2013 paper on Bayesian state-space modelling on high-performance hardware. The paper presents LibBi as software that parses a model language, optimizes it, generates C++ code, compiles it, and runs inference methods on CPU, GPU, and distributed-memory platforms.
The project site frames LibBi around sequential Monte Carlo methods, including particle filtering, PMCMC, SMC^2, the extended Kalman filter, and parameter optimization routines. Its design reflects a scientific-computing period when CUDA, OpenMP, MPI, NetCDF, and HDF5 were expected to be stitched together by domain-specific tooling.
LibBi found a niche in statistical and scientific modelling rather than general-purpose application development. The project site records an RBi package announcement on 2016-10-19 for using LibBi from R, and a 2016-11-14 post announcing Homebrew and Linuxbrew installation for `libbi`.
Users write state-space models in LibBi's modelling language, then run the `libbi` or `bi` tools to perform inference and process NetCDF/HDF5-backed input and output. The package is aimed at researchers who want particle methods and hardware parallelism without hand-writing the full generated C++ implementation.
LibBi is a good example of a package-manager formula preserving a research software stack: C++, Perl, CUDA-era assumptions, NetCDF/HDF5-style data, and a custom DSL all bundled as a command-line tool. It is niche, but interesting because the package is the executable surface of an academic modelling system.
