Usage

# Visualisation mode
<exe> <path/to/0.xml> <device_id>

Compilation

Windows (Visual Studio 2015)

Linux (Makefile)

To build executables under linux, the CUDA toolkit, an nvcc compatible host compiler such as g++, xmllint and xsltproc must be installed an accessible to make.

All examples can be built in batch via make all from the examples directory.

Individual examples can be built using make build in each example directory.

If an alternate CUDA version or CUDA intallation location is required, modify the CUDA_PATH environmental variable. I.e.

export CUDA_PATH=/path/to/CUDA

The PedestrianNavigation and PedestrianLOD examples show custom visualisations which is reflected in the relevant makefiles.

The CirclesBruteForce_double, CirclesBruteForce_float, CirclesPartitioning_double, CirclesPartitioning_float & StableMarriage examples are console only examples.

Further information can be found via make help in the relevant directories.
