  • Graphistry: Web workers layout w/ WebGL rendering
  • Berkeley: Rust

###Compiling from source

  • Install nodejs, java + ant, swi-pl
  • In "superconductorjs", run "npm install"
  • In "superconductorjs", run "make all"
  • In "compiler", run "ant" . You may need to fix up "local.properties" (template in "local.properties.mac")

###Test

Run "./runTestWebServer.sh" from the main folder to launch a local test server

Unit tests (pixel/zoom tests report false negatives)

Demos

WebCL

The GPU version requires a browser with WebCL bindings.
