Convert a VisibleSim Simulator configuration file into a file for the GraphAnalyzer tool.
VisibleSimToGraphAnalyzer requires TinyXML library.
In order to install TinyXML on Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install libtinyxml-dev
To compile VisibleSimToGraphAnalyzer, go into the build/ folder and enter make.
$ cd build/
$ make
VisibleSimToGraphAnalyzer works as following:
Usage: VisibleSimToGraphAnalyzer -i <input VisibleSim xml configuration file> -t <target lattice> [options]
Supported target lattices (<target lattice>):
s: Square
h: Hexagonal
sc: Simple-Cubic
fcc: Face-Centered Cubic
Options:
-o <output aj file> : output file for GraphAnalyzer
-h : print this usage and exit
Below is a full example of how to compile and use VisibleSimToGraphAnalyzer. In this example, configurations/example.xml is converted into build/example.aj considering a Simple Cubic (SC) lattice. Blinky Blocks are arranged into a SC lattice.
$ cd build/
$ make
$./visibleSimToGraphAnalyzer -i ../configurations/example.xml -t sc
Input: ../configurations/example.xml
Output: example.aj
Target lattice: sc
Grid size: x=10,y=10,z=10)
../configurations/example.xml opened and read!
../configurations/example.xml exported in example.aj
Below is the expected content of build/example.aj:
