# This script hosts components of the greedy algorithms for phylogenetic reconstruction
# using the minimum evolution (ME) principle. Specifically, it supports GME and BME for
# de novo tree building, and FastNNI and BNNI for tree arrangement.

# Most functions don't create any intermediate arrays, but repeatedly use pre-allocated
# arrays for all operations. This improves computational efficiency.


# chunk size for parallelization (experimental)
cdef int CHUNKSIZE = 10000

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# NOTE on parallelization: The algorithms implemented here were designed to facilitate
# parallelization. Specifically, the preorder and postorder are stored, with which the
# code can identify the entire clade under any given node, without needing to redo the
# tree traversal. Operations that are topology-independent can be parallelized across
# nodes within the clade.
# 
# A challenge to parallelization is scheduling. Clades vary greatly in size, therefore
# iterations also have greatly varying compute loads. It is tricky to allocate chunks
# of iterations to individual threads such that all threads have roughly the same load.
# In the experimental code `_bal_avgdist_insert_p`, a "dynamic" policy with a chunk
# size inversely proportional to the clade size is adopted, thus fewer larger clades
# will be processed in each thread.
#
# Additionally, it would have been ideal to disable parallelization if the clade being
# processed is small. In a typical traversal, half of the clades are tips, making it
# useless to parallelize. Cython 3.1 will introduce a parameter `use_threads_if`, which
# can address this issue. But we need to put it on hold before Cython 3.1 is released
# and widely adopted.

    This function will update adm, a float array of (n, n) representing pairwise
    distances between all nodes (tips, internal nodes and the root) in the tree.

    Implemented according to Appendix 4 of Desper and Gascuel (2002). Basically, this
    algorithm traverses the tree and calculates the average distance between each pair
    of subtrees. Here, a "subtree" is identified by a node, but it can be one of the
    two scenarios:

    0. Lower subtree (L): the subtree descending from a node (including the node).
    1. Upper subtree (U): the subtree branching from the node upward. The root of this
       subtree is the node's parent (NOT the node itself). Its immediate children are
       the parent's parent and the node's sibling.

    Then it iteratively applies Eq. 2 to calculate the average distance between two
    subtrees based on the average distances from the children (1 and 2) of one of the
    subtrees (B) to the other (A):

        d(A, B) = (|B_1| * d(A, B_1) + |B_2| * d(A, B_2)) / |B|

    TODO: It might be possible to only fill half of the matrix (upper or lower
    triangle). Same for other functions, especially those in BME.

    Using only average distances between pairs of distant-2 subtrees.

    This function produces the same result as `_ols_lengths`. The latter relies on
    Eq. 3 of Desper and Gascuel (2002), which involves distances between distant-3
    subtrees. Therefore, we need to modify the equation such that it only takes
    distances between distant-2 subtrees as input.

    Specifically, with the following local structure:

                |
              parent
              /   \
           node  sibling
           /  \
        left  right

    We will need to calculate the distances between left / right (lower) and parent
    (upper) / sibling (lower). This can be achieved by (according to Fig. 2a):

        d(left(L), parent(U)) = d(left(L), node(U)) + d(node(L), parent(U))
            - d(node(L), node(U))

    Do the same for d(right(L), parent(U)), d(left(L), sibling(L)), and d(right(L),
    sibling(L)). Plug results into Eq. 3, we will get:

        l(node) = 0.5 * (
            d(left(L), parent(U)) + d(right(L), parent(U)) + d(node(L), parent(U))
            + d(node(L), sibling(U)) - d(sibling(L), parent(U)) - d(left(L), right(L))
        ) - d(node(L), node(U))

    Note that this equation is free of the lambda factor.

    Here, d(node(L), node(U)) is the distance between the lower and upper subtrees of
    the same node. This can be calculated using the equation in A4.1(c):

        d(node(L), node(U)) = (|sibling(L)| * d(node(L), sibling(L)) + |parent(U)|
            * d(node(L), parent(U))) / |node(U)|

    Therefore, we will get l(node).

    It assumes that one child of the target node on a certain side (left: 0, right: 1)
    exchanges position with the sibling of the target:

                 |                         |

        other  child              other  sibling

    Two categories of average distances will be updated:

        1. From target (upper) to any node within other and sibling.

    according to Eq. 9 of Desper and Gascuel (2002):

        delta L = ((lambda - 1)(d(A, C) + d(B, D)) - (lambda' - 1)(d(A, B) + d(C, D))
            - (lambda - lambda')(d(A, D) + d(B, C))) / 2

        lambda' = (|A||D| + |B||C|) / ((|A| + |C|)(|B| + |D|))

    This function calculates delta L for two scenarios: 1) swap between left child and

    Factor 0.5 (/2) is omitted. The output value is negated, in order to match Python's

        \delta L = ((d(A, B) + d(C, D)) - (d(A, C) + d(B, D))) / 4

    Larger and positive \delta L is favored.

    Factor 0.25 (/4) is omitted in the calculation.

    `lens` should be initiated with zeros, because root and tips are assigned zeros
    automatically and are skipped during the iteration.
