Abstract
AbstractIn modern analysis pipelines, Einstein-Boltzmann Solvers (EBSs) are an invaluable tool for obtaining CMB and matter power spectra. To significantly accelerate the computation of these observables, the CosmicNet strategy is to replace the usual bottleneck of an EBS, which is the integration of a system of differential equations for linear cosmological perturbations, by trained neural networks. This strategy offers several advantages compared to the direct emulation of the final observables, including very small networks that are easy to train in high-dimensional parameter spaces, and which do not depend by construction on primordial spectrum parameters nor observation-related quantities such as selection functions. In this second CosmicNet paper, we present a more efficient set of networks that are already trained for extended cosmologies beyond ΛCDM, with massive neutrinos, extra relativistic degrees of freedom, spatial curvature, and dynamical dark energy. We publicly release a new branch of theclasscode, calledclassnet, which automatically uses networks within a region of trusted accuracy. We demonstrate the accuracy and performance ofclassnetby presenting several parameter inference runs from Planck, BAO and supernovae data, performed withclassnetand thecobayainference package. We have eliminated the perturbation module as a bottleneck of the EBS, with a speedup that is even more remarkable in extended cosmologies, where the usual approach would have been more expensive while the network's performance remains the same. We obtain a speedup factor of order 150 for the emulated perturbation module ofclass. For the whole code, this translates into an overall speedup factor of order 3 when computing CMB harmonic spectra (now dominated by the highly parallelizable and further optimizable line-of-sight integration), and of order 50 when computing matter power spectra (less than 0.1 seconds even in extended cosmologies).
