Package: aquila-borg
Please check the individual source files for the respective contributors.Version 2.1DescriptionThis is the main component of the Bayesian Large Scale Structure inference
pipeline.A lot of complementary informations are available on the wikihttps://www.aquila-consortium.org/.Cloning all the modulesThe ARES software is only the foundation for other modules that adds many more functionalities to the framework.Notably, the Aquila collaboration has developped the BORG extension that encodes advanced forward model and complex likelihoods
to run inferences on galaxy clustering, lyman-alpha, and more.To get access to the extra modules please contact Aquila consortium members, who will tell you what are the policy in places.
Once your account on bitbucket is authorized you may use the scriptget-aquila-modules.sh. The procedure is as follow:first change to the desired branch (i.e. develop/2.1) withgit checkout the_interesting_branchclone all the adequate modulesget-aquila-modules.sh –clonesetup the branches for the modulesget-aquila-modules.sh –branch-setPolish up your environment by installing the git hooksget-aquila-modules.sh –hooksNOTEthe git hook require the availabilityclang-formatto check on the formatting. If it is not present, then it will fail
the execution.BuildingThere is a special command line that prepares prepares build system to compile
all tools and libraries. It resides in the root directory of the ares source
tree and is called “build.sh”. By default it will build everything in the
“build” subdirectory. To get all the options please run with the option
“–help”.After the tool has bee run, you can move to the build directory and execute
“make”, which will build everything.Please pay attention warnings and error messages. The most important are color marked.
Notably some problems may occur if two versions of the same compiler are used for C and C++.
To adjust that it is sufficient to explicitly specify the compiler path with the options ‘–c-compiler’
and ‘–cxx-compiler’ of “build.sh”.Note: When modules are present in extra/, you may prevent them from building by putting an empty file calledDO_NOT_BUILDin the
corresponding directory folder of the concerned module. For example, to preventborgfrom building dotouch extra/borg/DO_NOT_BUILDfrom the present directory and the build system will ignoreborg.Compiler compatibilitiesTested on GCC 7.0 - 10.2.
Some performance regressions were noted with gcc 8.1.
Countermeasures have been introduced though some corner cases
may still be a bit slower. Clang is unaffected by this regression.Note that GCC <= 6 fails because it does not support correctly C++14 features.DocumentationPlease refer todocs/README.txt.The documentation is also available onhttps://docs.aquila-consortium.org/borg-public/2.1/ModulesThe core package supports to have extensions statically linked to the core.
They have to be put in extra/ and the cmake scripts will automatically link
to it. Check ‘extra/demo/’ for an example.Usage policyPlease check the documentation for details on the citation requirements for using this software:https://www.aquila-consortium.org/docs/borg-public/2.1/.AcknowledgementsThis work has been funded by the following grants and institutions over the
