A simple experiment¶
Computational experiments that justify using infrastructure like epyc
are by definition
usually large and complicated – and not suitable for a tutorial. So we’ll start with a
very simple example: admittedly you could do this more easily with straight Python code,
but that’s an advantage when describing how to use a more complicated set-up.
So suppose we want to compute a set of values for some function so that we can plot
them as a graph. A complex function, or one that involved simulation, might justify
using epyc
. For the time being let’s use a simple function:
\[z = sin \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\]
We’ll plot this function about \((0, 0)\) extending \(2 \pi\) radians in each axial direction.
