Getting Started

To build Ergoline, you will need:

• SBT (tested with v1.4.6+)
• An Installation of JDK (tested with JDK v8+, we recommend Oracle's builds)
• An Installation of Charm++ (present at CHARM_HOME)

Checkout Ergoline's repo:

git clone https://github.com/jszaday/ergoline.git
cd ergoline
export ERG_HOME="$(pwd)"

If an installation of Hypercomm is already present, you can omit these steps:

git submodule init
git submodule update
cd hypercomm/
cmake .
make -j
cd ../

To build ergc.jar, now run the following:

sbt assembly

Along with ERG_HOME, we recommend adding this alias to your environment:

alias ergc="java -jar $(pwd)/ergc.jar"

Now, test and run an example:

ergc examples/hello.erg
charmrun $OPTS ./a.out

Note, various options can be passed through ergc to the underlying (C++) compiler. For best performance, we recommend building with -Ofast whenever possible. For instance:

ergc -Ofast examples/tester.erg
