This repository contains all the resources needed to participate in the hands-on sessions of the lecture `Data Compression of numerical data sets with the BigWhoop library`. The repository is organized as follows:

| Folder      | Content     |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| 0-docs      | Lecture Slides |
| 1-bwc       | Source Code |
| 2-data      | Test Data |

<h1 align="center">Building BigWhoop</h1>

### Dependencies

* make
* cmake (>= 3.5.1)
* gcc (>= 8.5.0)

### Building

clone the sources from HLRS' gitea instance:
```
git clone https://code.hlrs.de/TOPIO/Deep_Learning_Workshop.git
```

Now change into the source code directory and run the following commands.

**for a simple build**
```
make clean
make
```
**for a full build (including command line tool)**
```
make full
```
**for debugging**
```
make clean
make debug
```
This builds the library and places the associated files in the `/lib` or `/lib64` folders. If a full build was attempted, the command line tool binaries are placed in the `/bin` folder.
