Requirements

The following libraries are required

*CUDA compiler NVCC

Setup

We use cmake to generate a user friendly Makefile and to support various operating system setups.

To create a Makefile with CMake run the folling in the base project directory:

    cmake .

Please mind the period at the end. This process needs to be repeated only if the CMakeList.txt has been modified.

Once the Makefile is generated, you can build the project:

    make

Usage:

To compile with Debugging:

    cmake -DDEBUG=ON .

WARNING this will create many print outputs and greatly reduce performance: only for basic examples

To compile with convergence plot data active:

    cmake -DPLOT=ON .

more usage coming soon

Style Guide

For development you should install clang. We use clang's clang-format to keep our coding style consistent.

We also use google's C++ style guide. It is a reasonable guideline, used by a large organization to great success and at the same time it is an interesting read and can maybe even teach you something about C++.

You can use the script scripts/format to automatically reformat all the source files. Alternatively, try one of the integrations of clang-format into various editors/IDEs.
