| 3 | 1) Create a folder to hold the build |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | `mkdir build` |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | `cd build` |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | 2) Run CMake |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | - Visual Studio |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | `cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 [arch]" <path-to-repository>`. Leave `arch` empty for x86 or `Win64` for x64. |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | `cmake --build . --config Release` |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | - MinGW |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | `cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release|Debug`. CMake supports different build types: `Release`, `Debug`, `MinSizeRel` and `RelWithDebInfo`. |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | `cmake --build .` or `make` or `make VERBOSE=1` |
|---|
| 22 | |

| 23 | The build system generates two targets, one using the standard math library functions (`std::exp`, `std::log`, etc.) and the other using functions from the [vdt](https://github.com/dpiparo/vdt) library (described in more detail in [this talk from CERN](https://indico.cern.ch/event/202688/contributions/1487957/attachments/305612/426820/OpenLabFPWorkshop_9_2012.pdf)). A performance comparison with existing HL interpreters is given below. MinGW and MSVC builds of this library were tested. The non-vdt MinGW binary suffers significant peformance loss due to trancendental functions `log` and `exp`. All MinGW binaries also exhibit performance loss with the `pow` and `root` functions. Batched versions take advantage of auto-vectorization. Overall the `Native-MinGW-Vdt[BatchSize=64]` performs the best on the selected grammars. Units in the table correspond to billion node evaluations per second. |
