Tabular Calculations
--------------------
To calculate saturation of inert gas in tissue compartments, the
decompression model uses Schreiner equation, which calls exponential
function. Such call can be too costly or even impossible on some of the
hardware architectures, i.e.  microcontrollers lacking FPU. To make
decompression software available on such hardware architectures, the
exponential function values can be precomputed and stored in a table.
DecoTengu library allows to experiment with dive decompression calculations
using such technique, which we call tabular calculation.

The tabular calculation uses group homomorphism of exponential function

    .. math::

        e^{x + y} = e^x * e^y

Part of Schreiner equation (see :ref:`eq-schreiner`) is calculation of
inert gas exposure with exponential function

    .. math::

        e^{-k * t}

We can precompute the values for above function for 1 minute and for
6 seconds intervals and store them in a table for each gas decay constant
:math:`k`. Then, exponential function results can be calculated with
formula

    .. math::

        e^{-k * t} = (e_{1min}) ^ {n_{1min}} * (e_{6s}) ^ {n_{6s}}

where

:math:`e_{1min}`
    Exponential function value :math:`e^{-k * 1}`.

:math:`e_{6s}`
    Exponential function value :math:`e^{-k * 0.1}` (:math:`0.1` is
    6 seconds).

:math:`n_{1min}`
    Number of one minute time intervals :math:`t\ div\ 1` in time :math:`t`.

:math:`n_{6s}`
    Number of 6 second time intervals :math:`(t\ mod\ 1) * 10` in time
    :math:`t\ mod\ 1`.

The precalculated values of exponential function imply configuration
constraints, which are discussed in the following section.

.. _tab-conf:

Configuration Constraints
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main configuration constraint for DecoTengu tabular calculation is the
number of precomputed values of exponential function. This is driven by
limited amount of computer memory.

To keep the number of precomputed values of exponential function constant,
we need to make ascent and descent rates constant. Therefore, first
configuration constraint sets ascent and descent rates to 10m/min.

The second configuration constraint is the smallest depth change for which
tissue saturation can be calculated. By default it is 1m (or 6s at
10m/min), which forces us to round up current depth value, i.e. from 31.2m
to 32m.

.. _tab-algo:

Implementation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The values of exponential function are precomputed and stored by tabular
calculator class :py:class:`decotengu.alt.tab.TabExp`.

The :py:class:`decotengu.alt.tab.TabExp` class divides time into
one minute segments and 6 seconds segments and caclulates exponential
function value using formula specified at the begining of this section.

The helper function :py:func:`decotengu.alt.tab.tab_engine` takes
decompression engine object as an argument and overrides engine
configuration and methods, so decompression calculations can be performed
with tabular calculator.

Example
~~~~~~~
To calculate dive decompression information using tabular calculator
override decompression engine object with
:py:func:`decotengu.alt.tab.tab_engine` function.

Create the decompression engine first

    >>> import decotengu
    >>> from decotengu.alt.tab import tab_engine
    >>> engine = decotengu.create()
    >>> engine.add_gas(0, 21)

Override the engine

    >>> tab_engine(engine)
    >>> print(engine.model._exp) # doctest:+ELLIPSIS
    <decotengu.alt.tab.TabExp object at ...>

Perform calculations

    >>> profile = list(engine.calculate(35, 40))
    >>> for stop in engine.deco_table:
    ...     print(stop)
    DecoStop(depth=18.0, time=1.0)
    DecoStop(depth=15.0, time=1.0)
    DecoStop(depth=12.0, time=4.0)
    DecoStop(depth=9.0, time=6.0)
    DecoStop(depth=6.0, time=9.0)
    DecoStop(depth=3.0, time=22.0)
