NuPIC Core

This project is still in the process of being extracted from the NuPIC codebase as a part of our core extraction plan.

This README is incomplete!

This repository contains the C++ source code for the Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing (NuPIC). It will eventually contain all algorithms for NuPIC, but is currently in a transition period. For details on building NuPIC within the python environment, please see http://github.com/numenta/nupic.

Build and test NuPIC Core:

Important notes:

• $NUPIC_CORE is the current location of the repository that you downloaded from GitHub.

Using command line

Configure and generate build files:

mkdir -p $NUPIC_CORE/build/scripts
cd $NUPIC_CORE/build/scripts
cmake $NUPIC_CORE/src

Build:

cd $NUPIC_CORE/build/scripts
(optional) make clean / distclean    # starts a fresh build
make -j3

Note: -j3 option specify '3' as the maximum number of parallel jobs/threads that Make will use during the build in order to gain speed. However, you can increase this number depending your CPU.

Run the tests:

cd $NUPIC_CORE/build/scripts
make tests_htm 
make tests_everything

Using graphical interface

Generate the IDE solution:

• Open CMake executable.
• Specify the source folder ($NUPIC_CORE/src).
• Specify the build system folder ($NUPIC_CORE/build/scripts), i.e. where IDE solution will be created.
• Click Generate.
• Choose the IDE that interest you (remember that IDE choice is limited to your OS, i.e. Visual Studio is available only on CMake for Windows).

Build:

• Open nupic_core.*proj solution file generated on $NUPIC_CORE/build/scripts.
• Run ALL_BUILD project from your IDE.

Run the tests:

• Run any tests_* project from your IDE (check output panel to see the results).
