Speeding Up Source Reconstruction#

Computing eigenvectors, particularly if a precision more than 64 bit is needed, can be time consuming. Hence, FiNNpy provides code to compile an executable to speed up this process. The relevant code can be found in the following folder: finnpy_ext_eigen_decomp. The required shared libraries (for use in Python) can be build via make. For a more detailed guide, see Building an External Library.

Requirements#

This library requires the presence of the following libraries:

Windows#

gmp & mpfr can be installed via Msys2

pacman -S gmp
pacman -S mpfr
pacman -S eigen3

MacOs#

gmp & mpfr can be installed via homebrew

brew install gmp
brew install mpfr
brew install eigen3

Linux#

gmp & mpfr can be installed via a packet manager, e.g. apt,

apt install gmp
apt install mpfr
apt install eigen3

or pacman,

pacman -S gmp
pacman -S mpfr
pacman -S eigen3

All#

mpreal is a header only library and needs to be copied into either the same directory as the makefile or the cpp file.

Building the library#

The make command for finnpy_ext_export_openvdb may be called, building the library for use in Python.
