Introduction

ViSimpl consists of a set of analysis tools providing different views for the deep analysis of the brain simulation datasets. This project contains both SimPart and StackViz, ready to be used with BlueConfig datasets among other file formats such as specific HDF5 and CSV.

Dependencies

Strong dependences:

• OpenGL
• GLEW
• Boost
• Eigen3
• HDF5
• Qt 5.X (Qt5Core, Qt5Gui, Qt5Widgets and Qt5OpenGL)
• GLM (https://glm.g-truc.net)
• ReTo (*)
• SimIL (*)
• PReFr (*)
• scoop (*)

(*) Note: These dependencies will be automatically downloaded and compiled with the project.

Weak dependences

• OpenMP: multi-core functioning.
• ZeroEQ: library for collaboration between applications (*)
• Lexis: vocabulary for ZeroEQ (*)
• GMRVLex: additional vocabulary for ZeroEQ (*)

(*) Note: In order to connect applications one another, it is necessary to compile the project with ZeroEQ and its vocabulary libraries (Lexis and GMRVLex).

Building

ViSimpl has been succesfully built and used on Ubuntu 14.04/16.04, Mac OSX Yosemite and Windows 7/8 (Visual Studio 2013 Win64). Please note that Brion compatibility on Windows is limited, therefore ViSimpl is not guaranteed to work with Brion in Windows systems. The following steps should be enough to build it:

git clone --recursive https://gitlab.gmrv.es/nsviz/visimpl.git ViSimpl
mkdir ViSimpl/build && cd ViSimpl/build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCLONE_SUBPROJECTS=ON
make
