April-ANN

Welcome April-ANN

April is a big project with the purpose of develop an awesome toolkit for pattern recognition tasks :)

Currently, only doxygen documentation for developer and user reference manual are avialabe:

Includes these sources

Lua virtual machine 5.1.4: http://www.lua.org/
Luiz's lstrip for Lua 5.1: http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/5.1/lstrip.tar.gz
MersenneTwister: http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html
GZIO: http://luaforge.net/projects/gzio/

Compilation

First, it is mandatory to configure (only the first time) the repo PATH and other stuff:

$ . configure.sh

Second, you could compile the april version which you need. We have developed compiling files for use different libraries. It is simple, you do

$ make TARGET

where TARGET is one of the following, depending on which version you want:

ATLAS: release/debug
Intel MKL: release-mkl/debug-mkl
Intel MKL + CUDA: release-cuda-mkl/debug-cuda-mkl
Mac OS X Accelerate Framework: release-macosx/debug-macosx

Each of this targets will need a little configuration depending on your library installation. For example, in order to compile with MKL, the file build_mkl_release.lua contains the following sections:

  global_flags = {
    debug="no",
    use_lstrip = "no",
    use_readline="yes",
    optimization = "yes",
    platform = "unix",
    extra_flags={
      -- For Intel MKL :)
      "-DUSE_MKL",
      "-I/opt/MKL/include",
      --------------------
      "-march=native",
      "-msse",
      "-DNDEBUG",
    },
    extra_libs={
      "-lpthread",
      -- For Intel MKL :)
      "-L/opt/MKL/lib",
      "-lmkl_intel_lp64",
      "-Wl,--start-group",
      "-lmkl_intel_thread",
      "-lmkl_core",
      "-Wl,--end-group",
      "-liomp5"
    },
  },

You need to especify the -I option to the compiler, and all the extra_libs stuff related with MKL. Exists one build file for each possible target: build_release.lua, build_debug.lua, build_mkl_release.lua, build_mkl_debug.lua, ... and so on.

ENJOY!

How to use gh-pages branch

This automatic page generator is the easiest way to create beautiful pages for all of your projects. Author your page content here using GitHub Flavored Markdown, select a template crafted by a designer, and publish. After your page is generated, you can check out the new branch:

$ cd your_repo_root/repo_name
$ git fetch origin
$ git checkout gh-pages

If you're using the GitHub for Mac, simply sync your repository and you'll see the new branch.
